Ubisoft, the developer of Rainbow Six Siege, has finally released their patch notes for the Y5S2.3 update. This update will bring many changes to operators from the designer notes, but not everything from the designer notes has been incorporated into the patch. Fuze is one of the operators receiving a buff by getting an extra cluster charge, which allows him to clear out bomb sites even more effectively now.
The APAC region will finally get 2-Step Verification, which is huge news for the area. This will prevent fewer smurf accounts and maybe even reduce the amount of hackers in the region. This feature has been out for every other region and now is making its way into APAC.

BALANCING
GRIDLOCK
If you've ever stepped on a Lego...this hurts worse. By making her gadget a bit more enjoyable to use, we're looking to make Gridlock players' lives a bit easier.
- Lowered Gridlock's Caltrop deployment time to 9s (down from 13s).
- Lowered the individual Caltrops deployment time to 0.45s (down from 0.7s).
- Lowered the range of random deploy variation to 0.05s (down from 0.1s).
- Added a delay of 0.45s before the deployment sequence starts (previously no delay).
ORYX
The Rainbow _ has goat to dash. We want to let Oryx make more use of his dash, and added mobility and durability will hopefully make him a bit more fun to play.
- Using his dash through a soft wall will not deplete all the dash charges.
- Increased Dash refresh time to 12s (up from 8s).
- Dash recovery time for all dashes is now 0.5s. (Previous recovery times: soft wall = 1s, enemy = 0.7s).
FUZE
Hide the hostages! Giving Fuze a bit more presence and utility with an additional charge.
- Increased the number of cluster charges to 4 (up from 3)
GAMEPLAY
Pushback Mechanics
To maintain consistency with softwall interactions, we're giving enemies that are pushed through walls the same feedback as when Oryx dashes through them.
- When pushed through a wall by Nomad's airjabs or Oryx's dash, players will receive the same feedback and rtake the same damage (5 hp) as when Oryx dashes through a soft wall.
