Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege is an anomaly within the shooter genre in that it’s AAA tactical shooter experience that also puts a strong emphasis on realism.
Given its unique place in the shooter landscape, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Rainbow Six Siege has proven popular enough to warrant a second full year of support from Ubisoft. Included in this support is the recently launched “Mid-Season Reinforcements” patch which contains a long laundry list of fixes and tweaks.
According to a press release from Ubisoft, the Mid-Season Reinforcements patch makes sweeping changes across the board. Although, players who favor
- Glaz’s unique weapon scope now provides enhanced thermal feedback, allowing him to more easily pick out enemy players from a distance, even when they’re obscured by smoke grenades.
- Doc’s overheal has been bumped up to a maximum of 140, giving both him and his teammates enhanced survivability.
- Twitch has received a new Elite tier skin which includes a unique outfit, headgear piece, charm, operator title, signature victory animation, and, for Twitch specifically, design for her shock drones.
- Buck’s skeleton key gadget has received an extra shot, making him a more dangerous opponent to deal with as he switches between the gadget’s assault rifle and shotgun firing modes.
