As long as Rainbow Six Siege continues to deliver new characters and maps in its updates, I'll continue to play this awesome game that came out almost a year ago. Ubisoft announced a new Rainbow Six Siege update 4.3 today and while we won't get new operators, there are several important patches that are expected to improve the gameplay.
First, BOPE's defender Taina "Caveira" Pereira suffers from a nasty exploit that enables players to prevent her from finishing an interrogation. Via PlayStation Lifestyle, Caveira "received additional training and will now complete her interrogations regardless of whether or not an enemy player quits."
Next, nobody likes a team killer and that's exactly what the Anti-Bullying System in the latest update will try to tackle.
"As promised, we are continuing to make improvements to our process for identifying and punishing team killers. In Patch 4.3, we have activated an anti-bullying feature. This is intended to prevent players from targeting a teammate and griefing them repeatedly. Players will now suffer the standard team killing penalty after killing the same teammate twice."
Check the team killing penalties in the list below. Ubisoft also warns that there will not be appeals for team killing bans:
- First offense: Casual – Kicked from match; Ranked- Banned for 15 minutes, 50% Renown penalty for 30 minutes.
- Second offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 30 minutes.
- Third offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 2 hours.
- Fourth offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 24 hours.
- Fifth offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 7 days.
Here are the rest of the patch notes for the Rainbow Six Siege 4.3 update:
