The Rainbow Six Siege Y7S1.2 update is small on quantity, however huge on affect, delivering the game’s first new map in fairly a while, and tweaking seven of its playable Operators in important methods. The largest steadiness change comes via the Claymore generic Gadget, which now comes with double the Claymore mines.

Operators with entry to Claymores will now have a a lot larger margin of error when trapping pathways, which is certain to upset the aggressive meta of the game. Additionally, Blackbeard now joins the record of attacker Operators in Rainbow Six Siege who’ve entry to Claymores; in return, he can not use Breaching Charges.

Besides these Claymore-specific modifications, the Rainbow Six Siege Y7S1.2 update ushers in quite a lot of different steadiness tweaks for Operators. Bandit can now connect a number of Shock Wire batteries to the identical deployable or floor for some further oomph. Operators knocked down by Oryx‘s charge or Nomad‘s Airjabs recover after 1.25 seconds (down from 2), but remain prone upon recovery.

Warden‘s Smart Glasses now last up to 20 seconds, but their cooldown is also extended to 20 seconds; this is up from 10 seconds for both values previously. Gridlock now has four Trax Canisters, and Ying comes with four Candelas (up from three in both cases), but the individual Candela flash duration has been halved, down to 1.4 seconds.

On the map side, the Emerald Plains map is now available in the Ranked, Unranked, Quickmatch, Team Deathmatch, Newcomer, and Lone Wolf game Rainbow Six Siege modes. The Outback map is no longer in the Newcomer playlist.
