UNIQUE ABILITIES AND PLAYSTYLE
D.O.M. Panel Launcher

REPUTATION SYSTEM IMPACT ACTIVATION
Players' standings will be reset as the system moves out of beta. Those who completed the Y9S4 season with a positive standing (Respectable, Esteemed, or Exemplary) will be awarded with a free Alpha Pack as a token of appreciation.
Starting this season (Year 10 Season 1) players with a Dishonorable or Disruptive standing will be restricted from playlists and unable to unlock certain rewards. Players with a Esteemed or Exemplary standing will be able to equip their exclusive card background. Bonus points are rewarded to players by achieving a positive standing (Respectable or above). Players can use bonus point to unlock rewards such as Boosters, Renown, and/or Alpha Packs.
Reputation standings will have these impacts:
- DISHONORABLE: Locked from Ranked, Standard, Siege Cup playlists, no access to Ranked rewards, -50% XP & Renown
- DISRUPTIVE: Locked from Siege Cup playlist, no access to Ranked rewards, -25% XP & Renown
- RESPECTABLE: +1 Standing bonus points per match.
- ESTEEMED: +2 Standing bonus points per match + Esteemed card background.
- EXEMPLARY: +3 Standing bonus points per match + Exemplary card background
Ranked rewards are locked until players reach Respectable Standing.
DYNAMIC MATCHMAKING
Dynamic matchmaking is a new system which optimizes matchmaking based on the how many requests are being sent to the server. While the enhanced system is designed to accommodate both densely and sparsely populated regions, it seeks to achieve higher quality matches during peak hours.
CELEBRATION PACK
The Celebration Pack includes a curated selection of top items from the first nine years of Siege, including limited time Event collections and seasonal signature weapon skins. Celebration Packs can be unlocked with Renown and are available in the Battle Pass.
A NEW ERA OF SIEGE
As Siege is about to enter its 10th year, Operation Prep Phase sets the stage for a major evolution in the game. Be sure to tune in to the live Showcase on March 13 for the full reveal of Siege X.
LEARN MORESEASONAL WEAPON SKINS
New challenges require a fresh approach and potentially a new loadout to tackle them. Get your hands on the Embers weapon and attachment skin, the Core Strength charm, as well as the Tectonic Reveal operator card background. The seasonal weapon skin will be released at season launch and is available for purchase throughout the season. Once unlocked, it remains in your inventory indefinitely and can be applied to all available weapons.
OPERATOR PRICE DECREASE
Looking ahead, setting down plans and gathering allies is the first step in Operation Prep Phase. This season, select Operators are seeing a price decrease. Decreasing to 10,000 Renown, or 240 R6 Credits, is Operator Azami. Brava sees a reduction in cost to 15,000 Renown, or 360 R6C Credits. Lastly, Deimos moves to 20,000 Renown, or 480 R6 Credits.
