Rainbow Six Siege Heavy Mettle Patch Notes and Updates

rainbow six siege

“Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege”, often referred to simply as Rainbow Six Siege, is a critically acclaimed tactical shooter developed by Ubisoft. The game was released on December 1, 2015 and has gained a huge player base due to its unique game mechanics, strategic depth and emphasis on teamwork.

Rainbow Six Siege is primarily a multiplayer game that pits two teams against each other: attackers and defenders. The game offers a variety of maps, each with its own unique layout and objectives. Players must strategically navigate, destroy, or enhance the environment depending on their assigned role.

Rainbow Six Siege Heavy Valor Patch Notes

The patch notes provided by Ubisoft contain some details, but there are other unmentioned changes. It is worth noting that the “Grim” rework that started with “Operation Fear Factor” will continue in this update, and players can also look forward to the long-awaited “Frost” rework in Y8S3.

As part of Grim’s rework, a new alternative firing mode will be introduced for their launchers. This enhancement will allow cans to strategically bounce off walls, adding an element of skill and creative play to the mix.

Frost’s welcome mat gadget is set to receive a major update. When caught in a trap, players now experience a debuff that lasts for 60 seconds. In addition, blood stains and audio cues will help players track attackers who have fallen into the trap. Importantly, players will be able to remove traps themselves, providing counterattack options.

Finally, cluster charges of fuzes will have greater effectiveness. They can now be used to launch payloads not only from deployable shields, but also from Osa’s Talon-8 shields. This enhancement opens up new possibilities for how players can use Fuze’s gadgets in tactical scenarios.
