After an amazing first year in collaboration with SAU_SIEGE[rainbow6.com], Sunstark[rainbow6.com], FrAgMenT[rainbow6.com], and Pericote[rainbow6.com], we are happy to present to you with another Community Artist Bundle that will be available during Y7S1.
With this program, we want to celebrate our amazingly creative and dedicated community artists and give them the chance to have their art styles represented in-game. Each chosen artist will have the opportunity to design a full set for an operator of their choice and the resulting bundles will become available during Year 7 and beyond.
To start Year 7, shinosaaaaaaang has designed a bundle for the Japanese operator Echo!

Shinosaaaaaaang’s Echo Operator Bundle includes:

• Uniform
• Headgear
• MP5SD weapon skin
• Charm

The shinosaaaaaaang Operator Bundle will be available via Prime Gaming for a limited time, starting from Monday, March 23rd.
Prime Gaming members will be able to claim this exclusive set for free. If you’re not a Prime member yet, you can sign up for a free trial.
A Renown Booster is currently available from Prime Gaming until March 23rd, so don’t forget to claim this too!

• Link your Ubisoft and Amazon accounts here[primegaming.ubisoft.com].

Shinosaaaaaaang, also known as Shino, collaborated with Ubisoft back in 2018 and 2019, and is now back with a brand-new design for Echo!
Shino, an artist from Japan, has been drawing original art and fan art for almost 40 years, with her work ranging from Rainbow Six Siege to Demon Slayer. Her artworks depict many different themes and worlds, as she bases her creations on present and past inspirations. To quote Shino herself: “My art style is addictive like a sweet trap; once you are hooked, there’s no going back”.
Where does her inspiration for this bundle comes from? To echo the Yokai Drone gadget, Shino has based her design on a traditional Japanese Yokai. She drew inspiration from the Karasu Tengu, depicting the black feathers of the crow-like Yokai.

Rainbow Six Siege introduces the first season of Year 7, Demon Veil! Azami, our newest Operator, joins Rainbow with an extensive background ranging from motorized Tokyo police officer to being a bodyguard in the private sector. Focused and determined beyond all doubt, she will bring her skills forward in the defense of her teammates. Her Kiba Barrier will bring a unique twist to the battlefield. Read the Patch Notes below for full details.

Kompletter Artikel: Demon Veil

In this latest edition of Designer’s Notes, we’ll go into more detail about the balancing changes that’ll come with Demon Veil’s pre-season update and give you an insight into the reasons behind these changes.

For more information on all the updates, changes and content that was released with Demon Veil, check out the seasonal patch notes here[rainbow6.com].

WIN DELTA VS. PRESENCE

Please note that we are using presence to gauge the popularity of an Operator. This notion had to be introduced to reflect the implementation of the pick & ban.

Presence definition: pick rate of an Operator when not banned. Win Delta: The Win Delta is aggregated from Operator’s Win Deltas per Bomb Site.

OPERATOR BAN RATE

• All Attackers can change their Operator and loadout in addition to spawn location during Preparation Phase. 
• Attacker 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 recent Lab Test Server for Y6S4. As discussed in its [panel debut](https://youtu.be/HcE6_DiKkcs?t=205&type=link), Attacker Repick is meant to help 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, especially on Attack – as well as how a team of Defenders choose to handle enemy intel-denial. 

Attacker Repick has seen minimal changes since the Lab Test Server, where it was mostly well understood and seen as 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 as everyone gets used to it in Y7S1. 

• 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 obstruction.

Population targeted by this change: All players.

In an effort to make weapons and sights more universal across operators, as well as easier to organize, we’ve opened the floodgates on sight styles. Now primary 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 2.5x scope variants. Tachanka’s DP27 unique reflex sight will stay unique to Tachanka, but we hope that you get a kick out of sporting your favorite sights in style – especially you Glaz mains out there.

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

Population targeted by this change: Top Ranked & Newcomers.

This change was initially delayed after being announced for the Y6S4 Test Server, but now with the kinks ironed out it’s finally here 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 consistent Defender outdoor visibility can feel tedious at best and oppressive at worst – often with little possible recourse for the Attackers. That early-game intel can still be gathered, but it now has a strict time-limit; making those moments far more vital and with less of a sour taste for Attackers at the start of a round. 

• Changed Volcán Shield to Volcán Canister, which no longer has a deployable shield.
• Volcán Canister can now be used as a deployable gadget on grounds and walls:
• Volcán Canister has a bulletproof casing, protecting it from certain angles.
• Reduced Volcán Canister explosion damage and destruction.
• Increased Volcán Canister fire 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 significant for Goyo, essentially trading defensive capabilities to double-down on zone denial. We’re hoping that the buffs to his Volcán’s area of effect capabilities will offset the removal of his more frontline-defense, which could keep multiple areas in a state of quasi-denial with limited 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 help make Goyo a more clear alternative to Smoke as originally intended. 

• Reduced opening & closing time to 0.75s (from 2).

Population targeted by this change: Top Ranked.

We wanted to make Melusi’s Banshee more susceptible to high-skill Attacker play. Though this change is technically a nerf and will allow Attackers to more quickly destroy the exposed weak point of the Banshee, we hope this will serve to keep Defenders more vigilant for the activation sound as well, making Melusi a strong but not quite a must-have operator. 

• Black Eye 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 small change that was initially packaged with the new behavior for outdoor cameras and will allow Valk and Zero players to get a few more important moments of utility out of their camera gadgets. We hope this quality of life improvement will kick in at the right moments to shave off a few precious seconds. 

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

Population targeted by this change: Top Ranked.

We wanted to adjust the Kona Station to be less of an aggressive tool, being used to over-heal then peek for minimal health loss. At the same time, this will also help the station get more general use as team anchors will be less able to use them up by accident. 

• Removed movement speed penalty from the CSRX 300.

Population targeted by this change: All players.

This is a small quality of life change as we continue working on better refining the balance and feel of several operators.
