Rainbow Six Siege Year 7 Flavour 1 Patch Notes

GAMEPLAY REWORKS

Assaulter REPICK

All Attackers can change their Operator and loadout in improver to spawn location during Preparation Phase.
Aggressor Repick is available in all modes.
Sixth-Pick and Reveal Phase are removed from Custom Match settings options.

Population targeted by this change: All players.

Attacker Repick is something we tried on the most contempo Lab Test Server for Y6S4. Equally discussed in its panel debut, Attacker Repick is meant to aid emphasize the importance of intel-gathering for Attackers, and ultimately broaden the selection of viable operators and strategic choices available when on the offensive. With this, we hope to promote more deliberate choices around how players gather which intel, specially on Attack - equally well as how a team of Defenders choose to handle enemy intel-deprival.

Attacker Repick has seen minimal changes since the Lab Exam Server, where it was mostly well understood and seen equally intuitive to use, along with not tipping the overall Attacker/Defender balance too drastically. We will, of course, continue to monitor data and discussions around the feature equally everyone gets used to it in Y7S1.

SIGHTS AND SCOPES

All weapon sights have been renamed and reorganized.
All weapons get all sights of their given optical levels (weapons previously without 2.5x do not receive 2.5x sights).
Replaced all instances of Low Red Dot with High Red Dot to minimize vision obstacle.

Population targeted by this change: All players.

In an endeavour to make weapons and sights more universal across operators, as well equally easier to organize, we've opened the floodgates on sight styles. Now principal weapons and non-handgun secondary weapons will have access to all non-magnifying sights (Non-magnifying scopes are Red Dot, Reflex, and Holographic). Weapons with a 2.5x scope will now have both ii.5x scope variants. Tachanka's DP27 unique reflex sight will stay unique to Tachanka, but we promise that y'all get a kick out of sporting your favorite sights in style - peculiarly yous Glaz mains out at that place.

OUTDOOR CAMERAS & DRONES

Defenders' cameras (from Valkyrie, Maestro, and Bulletproof cams) and Defenders' drones (from Echo and Mozzie) placed exterior disconnect 10 seconds after being placed.

Population targeted by this change: Peak Ranked & Newcomers.

This change was initially delayed subsequently beingness announced for the Y6S4 Test Server, but at present with the kinks ironed out it's finally hither for Y7S1. Along with Attacker Repick, this change is directed at increasing the importance and usage of cameras and intel-gathering tools inside. Playing against consequent Defender outdoor visibility can feel tedious at all-time and oppressive at worst - often with little possible recourse for the Attackers. That early-game intel can still exist gathered, but information technology at present has a strict time-limit; making those moments far more vital and with less of a sour taste for Attackers at the first of a round.

OPERATOR BALANCING

GOYO REWORK

Changed Volcán Shield to Volcán Canister, which no longer has a deployable shield.
Volcán Canister can at present be used as a deployable gadget on grounds and walls:
Volcán Canister has a bulletproof casing, protecting information technology from certain angles.
Reduced Volcán Canister explosion damage and destruction.
Increased Volcán Canister burn down duration to 20s (from 10).
Increased number of Volcán Canister charges to 4 (from 2).

Population targeted by this change: Pro Play.

This change is pretty meaning for Goyo, essentially trading defensive capabilities to double-downwardly on zone denial. We're hoping that the buffs to his Volcán's area of result capabilities will offset the removal of his more than frontline-defense, which could proceed multiple areas in a state of quasi-deprival with express options to counter. Now even though Goyo has to place the charges in a more planned, exposed way, the benefits of doing so in key locations or for key moments should be more rewarding overall. These changes should also assistance make Goyo a more clear alternative to Smoke as originally intended.

MELUSI

Reduced opening & closing time to 0.75s (from two).

Population targeted by this change: Top Ranked.

We wanted to make Melusi'south Banshee more susceptible to loftier-skill Attacker play. Though this change is technically a nerf and will allow Attackers to more than rapidly destroy the exposed weak indicate of the Banshee, nosotros promise this will serve to keep Defenders more vigilant for the activation sound as well, making Melusi a strong but not quite a must-take operator.

VALKYRIE & Nothing

Blackness Centre and ARGUS cameras can be accessed while they are still in the air - however the video feed does not begin until they attach to a surface.

Population targeted by this change: All players.

This is a pocket-size modify that was initially packaged with the new behavior for outdoor cameras and will allow Valk and Zero players to become a few more than important moments of utility out of their camera gadgets. Nosotros hope this quality of life improvement will kick in at the right moments to shave off a few precious seconds.

THUNDERBIRD

Kona Stations only heal if the player is below 100% health.

Population targeted past this change: Top Ranked.

Nosotros wanted to adapt the Kona Station to be less of an ambitious tool, existence used to over-heal and then peek for minimal health loss. At the same fourth dimension, this will also assistance the station get more general use as squad anchors will exist less able to use them upwardly by accident.

KALI

Removed movement speed penalty from the CSRX 300.

Population targeted by this change: All players.

This is a small-scale quality of life change as we go on working on better refining the residual and feel of several operators.
