Ubisoft, the developer of Rainbow Six Siege, released its latest round of updates, which have tons of shocking changes. However, these are currently applied in the test server and some of them might not make it into the live server. Passive abilities like Zofia’s Withstand and Ela's extra concussion mine while in a DBNO state have been removed. These changes make no sense as other operators like Doc still have their passive abilities.
The most banned operators Mira and Melusi are getting nerfed, but not in the way you are expecting. While their gadgets are the most annoying part of the arsenal, Ubisoft decided to remove some things instead of fixing the actual issue. The developer team removed Melusi's Angled Grip from the MP5 and Mira's 1.5x scope from the Vector .45 ACP.
Kali is getting a weird combination of nerf and buff, which seems to be inconsistent. The Kali pre-update was already weak due to her weapon, and it was contradicting a game that relied a lot on CQC. Now, the new update increases Kali's potential to one-shot an armor operator. Her exclusive weapon is treated as a normal weapon to raise its base damage. This would actually make Kali a tough opponent to handle.
