The Rainbow Six Siege Patch notes are now live
The new RSS Operator and map expansion arrive tomorrow, but that’s not all it’s going to include.
According to the official Rainbow Six Siege Patch Notes, there will also be a variety of fixes and improvement made to the PS4, Xbox One and PC game.
Fans can look forward to four new Velvet Shell Signature weapon skins being added this week, including the Chupinazo, El Dorado, León Furioso and Crossfader, which offer some vibrant new designs inspired by the colors of the Spanish shores.
A new dynamic new navigation interface for Rainbow Six Siege is also being introduced. This mandate originated from ample reflection on ways to improve player comfort after a year of live content.
Xavier Marquis, R6 Creative Director, explained the importance of this change: “Focusing our effort on improving the User Interface reaffirms our pledge to the community: we are working hard on ensuring the game’s longevity. Since we are here to stay, we’re making sure that you are getting comfortable.”

Some of the other big changes include:
PERSONALISED PLAY BUTTON
- In the newly designed menu system, you will notice that the primary button on your home screen menu is a little different. It will remember your last played option and will appear there. So for example, if you last played a Ranked match, clicking the play button will send you queueing into a Ranked match. If you want to change up to Terrorist Hunt or Casual, you can click the arrow to the right of the button or select the “Play” tab in order to get the other options.
- We hope this change will make it even easier to get into the game of your preferred game mode.
DYNAMIC CHALLENGE DISPLAY
- In the new menu display, you will find a new way to track and manage your challenges. Your progression for each challenge will now be updated in this button. You will see several progression bars that will fill up when completing an action that counts towards that challenge. Clicking this button will pop out a panel that will display all of your current challenges.
UPDATED NEWS DISPLAY
- The news carousel has also been updated with a new look and more info. At the bottom of the menu you will see a familiar rotating carousel as before, but we now have the ability to share more info directly in your home screen when you click on that news item. Once selecting the item, it will open a panel on the right that will have detailed info.
NEW RANK DISPLAY
- For the start of Year 2, we are changing a few things in the way that we display ranks. Firstly, the ranks in each tier will now go from four to one as you get closer to the next tier instead of one to four. For example, the lowest rank in the Gold tier will be Gold 4 and the highest will be Gold 1. The reason for the change is because we feel as though this is a more logical progression with regards to rankings, which normally are displayed in descending order.
HARMONISATION OF SIGHTS POSITIONING IN FIRST PERSON CAMERA
- Since the game released, sights’ positions in first person camera (which defines the space they take on screen) were inherited from their third person camera position, i.e. the real position that the sights had on the weapon rails.
- While this might seem logical as it is the most realistic approach, it also had a negative impact: depending on the weapon, using the same sight could lead to vastly different experiences.
CAPITAO GETS A CLAYMORE, AND IQ GETS FRAG GRENADES
Standard gadget loadout:
- Capitao’s 2 Frag Grenades are replaced by 1 Claymore (he still has his 3 Stun Grenades)
- IQ’s 3 Stun Grenades are replaced by 2 Frag Grenades (she still has her 3 Breach Charges)
