Ubisoft, the developer of Rainbow Six Siege, just released their patch notes for the Siege test server which includes the new rooftop reinforcement rework, vault detection changes, and bomb remodel to prevent pixel peeks.
The main change is the rooftop rework, which reinforces hatches across all maps by default. These hatches will have to be destroyed by a hard breacher. This rework is still being tested and if players don’t like the changes, Ubisoft will revert them back to the normal destructible hatches. The vault detection changes are also really helpful in detecting spawn peeks and runouts from defenders. This will make it easier for the attackers to spot aggression from the defenders.
Rainbow Six Siege Y5S3 Shadow Legacy TS Patch Notes
You can find the patch notes below:
ROOFTOP HATCH REWORK
Rooftop hatches will be pre-reinforced on all maps on the Y5S3 Test Server. Custom matches will not be impacted.
GAMEPLAY UPDATES
- IANA - Iana's Holograms will no longer trigger metal detectors.
- Vault prompt consistency after meleeing a barricade (See Vault Detection changes). Previously you could sometimes vault barricades after one melee. Barricades will now require at least two melee hits before the vault prompt will appear.
- Bomb remodel tweaks to fix issues with pixel peeks.
- Removed the delay from Defender runout detection and notification.
- New naming convention for shields. All shields will now display 'SHIELD' as their weapon type. (ex: Le Roc Shield, G-52 Tactical Shield, CCE Shield).
