Rainbow Six: Siege – Y5S4.3 Patch Notes | Major Operator Changes!

Introduction

The latest patch notes for the popular game include a range of balancing changes, tweaks, and bug fixes. Among the balancing changes are reductions in explosive damage range for Ash's Breaching Round and Echo's Sonic Burst, as well as the removal of Ela's resistance to Concussion effects. Buck's shotgun has also received a boost in total ammo, while Kali's CSRX300 now has a base damage of 122 for 25 meters. In addition to these changes, the patch notes also include bug fixes for various gameplay and level design issues, as well as improvements to ranked match cancellation and accessibility features. While some of the changes may be minor, the extensive list of bug fixes and tweaks is sure to please dedicated players. And for those who enjoy a bit of sarcasm, the removal of Zofia's resistance to Concussion effects and the addition of Lion's Claymore (at the expense of his Hard Breach Charge) may provide some amusement. Overall, the patch notes demonstrate the game developers' commitment to improving the player experience and ensuring a fair and balanced gameplay environment.

TWEAKS AND IMPROVEMENTS

GAME HEALTH

Ranked Match Cancellation
  • Timer has been extended to allow disconnected player more time to rejoin a match in progress.
  • Fixing known abuses occurring when players end the first round prematurely, preventing the opposing team from cancelling the match.

ACCESSIBILITY

STT and TTS Due to an unexpected load on the servers from these features and in an effort to increase effectiveness for players in need, Speech to Text and Text to Speech on console will be limited to English-speaking users in the United States. Please note that this change will also affect PC users in an upcoming hotfix. Please note that in order to resume use of Voice Chat, players who currently have Speech to Text enabled will need to ensure that the Convert Voice to Text setting is toggled off. Our team is currently looking into further accessibility options to implement in the future, with the goal to extend support to even more players around the world.
