The new Rainbow Six Siege patch is officially rolling out for PC, with a PS4 and Xbox One release planned for later in the week. The update focuses on fixes as opposed to the addition of new content.
The updates make changes to the standard game and limited-time Outbreak mode, although most of them don’t directly impact gameplay. For example, it addresses the overlapping text in the shop menu and equipped cosmetics resetting to default options when connection is lost.
But it also addresses some more serious problems, including character invisibility stemming from last-minute Operator changes and the missing revive icon and timer when hostages are in the DBNO state prior to escort.
In terms of Outbreak fixes, turrets are no longer unusable and unable to be picked up when they run out of ammo, and Buck can refill ammo for his Skeleton Key while his secondary weapon is equipped.
The full list of patch notes from Ubisoft’s website are below.
