Rainbow Six Siege’s last season of this year is revealed. High Calibre will bring tons of new things, including a new Irish Operator, Outback Rework, and a new gun. You can read about the Operator and Map Rework via our previous article. Stick here for the rest of the stuff.
When the new season drops, Siege won’t use “Red Team” and “Blue Team” anymore. It will be changed to “Your Team” and “Opponents.” You will decide what colors you wanna set for them. High Calibre also brings price reductions for multiple operators.
- Nomad and Kaid price will be reduced to 10,000 Renown or 240 R6
- Kali and Wamai price will be reduced to 15,000 Renown or 360 R6
- Aruni price will be reduced to 20,000 Renown or 480 R6
The developer is bringing some QoL changes as well. HUD for defenders will now contain information about how many regular drones have been destroyed. You will also have the option to turn this feature off.
We have mentioned other important changes that the new season brings below.
PLAYER COMFORT
- Visuals for the HUD have been updated to be more in line with the game's art direction.
- Compass now displays pings and other marker locations, as well as feedback for height differences.
- Loadout (weapons, gadgets, and unique abilities) was regrouped together to follow more consistent display rules.
- Text action reminders (ex: Press [SPACE] to Vault) have been replaced with icons to take up less space.
- A new Privacy section in the Options menu allows players to adjust settings related to in-game privacy.
OPERATOR BALANCING
- She can now use the Adrenal Surge to revive herself, which is more consistent with other devices in-game, like Doc's Stim Pistol.
- Her recoil boost has been removed.
- The Adrenal Surge cooldown has been increased to 20 seconds (was 10 seconds).
- Increased drones' time outside the building to 10 seconds (was 3 seconds).

- Reduced lateral recoil on:
- Jager - 416-C
