Rainbow Six Siege's latest season, Void Edge, is currently live on the Test Servers. The developers have been updating it constantly to make it ready for the live build. A recent update on the test servers replaced Ying’s Frag Grenades with Claymore, and many bugs have also been fixed, including a Clash exploit. Twitch’s shock drone recharge should also work fine now.
Do keep in mind that these changes made in the Test Servers are not final and may change in the live build. You can read the full patch notes below or on the official Reddit post.
