If the dev's literally could only do one or the other, which would you pick and why?
Me personally, I would actually choose a buff for Jager and Sledge over a new map and operator. I get that it would be lame that we wouldn't get anything, and we would be technically getting something we already should have, but Jager an Sledge are just too iconic to bee where they are right now.
Legendary characters, both affected by nerfs that had no rhyme or reason. Both replaced by an operator who came out later in the game.
What do you think buffing them would look like?
I personally think just 3 speed and less recoil for Jager, and 2 speed and SMG-11 for Sledge. Crazy how easy this would be for the dev's, and everyone feels the same about it.
Just wondering if I’ll ever be able to get them, seeing how my dumb ass forgot to get my packs during the event.
I need to know which operators are good at certain things. Like what are some of the best operators to be aggressive with on attack, roam on defense, good intel abilities on both sides, good ways to support the team on both sides, etc. 2 or 3 for each preferably, just for versatility.
What attachments should I be putting on my guns? I don’t know which ones are good and which aren’t.
What’s a good way to find out what maps and sites I like the most? Map training, versus AI? I feel like it’s important.
What’s the best way to practice my recoil and aim?
I haven’t seen any leaks yet concerning the next season and just hoping it’s not just an update for Blackbeard. Also getting a new map rework maybe?
I’ve been playing Rainbow Six Siege for years, and while the game has its fair share of bugs and glitches, I’ve never encountered anything that truly unsettled me. That changed last night. I logged on around midnight, hoping for a quick session before bed. Everything seemed normal at first: the familiar Ubisoft splash screen, the main menu, and the eerie background music. But when I queued up for a casual match, the strange stuff began.
The loading screen froze for a solid minute, which was unusual. I thought the game had crashed, but then it snapped back to life. The match was on a map I didn’t recognize. It wasn’t in the official pool, nor was it a custom map I’d ever seen before. It looked like an old, abandoned hotel. Dim hallways, flickering lights, and scattered furniture made it feel more like a horror game than a tactical shooter. The map name in the corner simply read “404.”
The match started, and my operator spawned in as usual, but something was off. My teammates didn’t have names above their heads, just static-like text. Their movements were… strange. They didn’t set up reinforcements or place gadgets. Instead, they just stood there, occasionally tilting their heads unnaturally far to the side, as if observing me. When I tried to communicate in chat, my messages wouldn’t send. The voice chat was eerily silent, even though I saw microphone icons blinking.
I decided to roam, hoping to salvage the round by finding the attackers. But as I moved through the hotel, I realized there were no drones, no gunfire, nothing. Just silence. When I turned a corner, one of my “teammates” was standing there, facing a wall. I approached to see what he was doing, but as I got closer, his character model twitched violently and vanished. My heart raced.
Then, the game’s audio began to distort. A low hum grew louder, mixed with faint whispers that sounded almost human but too garbled to understand. I noticed that the hotel’s decor was changing. Portraits on the walls had faces that seemed to follow me, their expressions twisting into grimaces the longer I looked. The furniture appeared to move when I wasn’t watching. I started to panic.
The round ended abruptly without a clear winner, and the screen faded to black. When it loaded back in, I was alone. No teammates, no HUD, nothing. My operator was now in what looked like the hotel’s basement, a damp, dimly lit room with a single flickering bulb overhead. I could hear footsteps echoing in the distance, but I couldn’t tell where they were coming from. Then, a new message popped up on the screen: “RUN.”
I sprinted through the labyrinthine basement, but no matter which way I turned, the walls seemed to close in. The footsteps grew louder, and I swore I heard distorted laughter. Suddenly, my screen glitched, and a figure appeared in the distance. It wasn’t an operator. It was something humanoid but grotesquely distorted, its limbs unnaturally long, and its face blank except for two glowing eyes. It charged at me, and before I could react, my game crashed.
When I relaunched Siege, everything seemed normal again. The strange map was gone, and my match history didn’t show anything out of the ordinary. I checked forums and Reddit to see if anyone else had experienced something similar, but there was nothing. It was as if the game had wiped any trace of that match. I’ve played since then, but every time I load into a match, I can’t shake the feeling that something is watching me.
Man i do love winning hard fought games to only receive 26 rp ( while some win 80 rp each win)
So I came back to r6 after 5 years, it has been season and a half and everything has been going great. I have 1.3K/D (idk if this is considered good or not but I am happy with it), I hit plat 2 this season, I always have positive K/D and help the team, but last week or so I have been absolutely horrible, I mostly bottom frag 1-2 kills, can’t hear the sound cues, controller doesn’t feel good in hand and etc.
I mean what the hell happened? I have had days like this but for 1 week straight? Only one good game with 8 kills, other than that pure crap. I am so frustrated, my confidence is completely gone. If someone had this experience what helped you?
Why did I get banned for an hour because my wifi cut out then Ubisoft wouldn’t load me back in the game…. Count your days Ubisoft 😤
I use to play R6 but got tired of playing and ended up getting rid of my Ubisoft account that had R6 and some other games a couple years ago to someone else
But a thought just occurred to me and so I might as well ask; If the person were to cheat on that R6 account would my steam account get a ban as well? Cause it’s not like they’re opening Ubisoft through my steam account
Me personally I’m not gonna let crappy players ruin my k/d I will sit in a corner idc. Why is it 2v5 24 seconds into a round?
can some one pls help me ı am trying to play r6 from my pc but ı am having so much fps drops non stop ı tryed to do everyting ı dont know what to do and my pc is good its asus rog stric g16 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13980HX, 2200 Mhz, 24 , 32 and my setting on game is low every think my pc is on turbo but fps spikes are goes 10 to 250
So don't make fun of me but i was thinking it would be a defender and the operators gadget would look like aruni's and when you shoot it, it makes a shield-ish thing like Asami except its made out of metal, basically it works the same except you can do it on barricades too so its like reinforcing a door(so that way if attackers wanted to go through that door they would have to breach it.) Also maybe if r6 were to do it they could make it so if the person were to aim the gadget at the door and shoot, it would seal the door perfectly and not just be a metal circle like Asami. Idk if this even makes sense but give me ur thoughts
Im not new by any means had ab 200 hours before but havent played in a few years. Gf of 3 years dumped me to "work on herself" so she can party, this game been keeping me sane
Nice little Juan tap 😋
I started Siege just recently, Wednesday, and feel like I'm doing okay so far. Are there any tips you wish you knew when you started?
I have played this game a lot and have almost all the characters but when i launched the game today my account is level one and its trying to get me to play the tutorial. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have restarted my game and nothing happened.
anyone else? i have a wired ethernet connection and for some reason i cant load into a standard game. but as soon as i get kicked the match starts… this is happening all day. only on r6.
