Operation Commanding Force | Seasons | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege | Ubisoft (AU)

MOUSETRAP (MOUSE & KEYBOARD PENALTY ON CONSOLE)

Coming in the middle of Operation Commanding Force, players who use mouse and keyboard on consoles will activate a penalty that adds lag to their inputs. The goal of this penalty is to encourage fair gameplay by removing the unfair advantage that mouse and keyboard players have on consoles.

While active, continued use of mouse and keyboard gradually increases the lag over several matches, making it harder to aim and shoot. Completing matches with a controller will gradually reduce the lag back to normal.

NEW REPUTATION PENALTY: ABUSIVE VOICE CHAT
This season introduces a new Reputation Penalty for abusive voice chat. While active, this penalty mutes repeat offenders by default to prevent hateful and disruptive content in voice chat. Muted players can still use voice chat but will only be heard by players who unmute them.

At launch:

• All players will have a grace period to adapt to the new system.
• After the grace period is over, players who've frequently abused voice chat will get an active penalty for 30 matches.

BALANCING

RELOAD REWORK
Reloading has been reworked so that interrupting the animation will leave the player without a magazine, but closed bolt weapons will have a single round for the player to use at any point during the reload.

ZERO UPDATE
Zero's Argus camera has some new behaviors. Zero can command his cameras to pierce through surfaces while controlling the Observation Tool. Once the camera has pierced a surface, teammates and Zero can swap to surveil either side at will unless they're eliminated.

OPERATOR SPECIALTIES & CHALLENGES (ONBOARDING)
