Rainbow Six: Siege has dropped a fresh Patch Y6S2.2 for you to download. It makes tweaks and balances to four operators, two guns, and mixes up the map selection for Ranked. There are a host of other small changes, too.Before we move on, there is also a new edition of Designer Notes attached to the patch page. This gives insight into major changes made to characters and is worth a read before any adjustments make you look quizzically down your sights. While most of the patch notes are to be expected, fixing glitches in the geometry and other small interaction errors, the character tweaks have caused a little bit of a stink in the RB6 community. In particular, the adjustment of removing the 1.5x scope from Frost’s C1 and adding it to Alibi’s MX4 Storm has a few confused, though most see it as a way of limiting the run and gun capabilities of the roaming operator. The designer’s notes confirm this, mentioning that they “will be keeping a close eye on her updated performance over time.” But then, offering the same scope to Alibi seems a little counterintuitive. Though, in fairness, the low pick rate for the Italian operator seems to be the major reason the devs want to make “Alibi more viable in roaming scenarios.” The Zofia nerf is also not ideal for fans of the character and is inspiring plenty of memes. The recoil nerf is an attempt at changing the pick rate of other operators. The developers said that “her gadget will continue to be a draw, but those looking for a more easy-to-use frag-focused attacker will find Ace, Sledge, and Iana more enticing options.”The patch will drop later today at one of the times given in the tweet, though you can expect a downtime of thirty minutes.
