All new things in Rainbow Six Siege Y11S2
While we won’t have a new operator, Dokkaebi will receive a major rework. Her primary gadget will undergo massive tweaks, and she will send a Jegeo payload to an operator’s phone.
While the defenders will be able to shut it down quicker due to the length of the call, it can now explode. If a defender fails to dismiss the call, they will take 40 damage, and the phone will leave a trail of fire that deals damage over time to enemies (if they’re caught by it).
We will also get a new map in the second season. Calypso Casino, rooted in Rainbow Six Vegas, will make its debut in Siege. It will be available in all casual and competitive modes. The basement will have all the security and server-related things. You’ll find casino games on the first floor.
Calypso Casino will challenge attackers and defenders alike due to its structure, with different potential breaching points. It will be interesting to find out how the community adapts to the new playground.
Once the new season goes live, we will all get temporary access to three attackers and defenders. The pool of free operators will rotate weekly, but this will be an excellent chance for all to try out new names before you choose to unlock them permanently.
The following maps will undergo changes following the update.
- Emerald Plains
- Kanal
- Outback
There will be a host of changes being made to several operators. We will have a full understanding of the impact once the season is live.
Rainbow Six Siege Y11S2 Ranked 3.0
Ranked 3.0 will replace the ongoing Ranked 2.0 experience, with a complete overhaul of the existing system. No longer will we have the incredibly confusing hidden MMR that’s currently being used for matchmaking.
Instead, you’ll have to go through five placement matches to get your rank. You’ll gain rank points based on how well you perform. Additionally, if you lose and you’re about to be demoted, a Demotion Shield will save your day.
The mode will also have the following restrictions and bans in place.
- Copper to Emerald players can queue with teammates within three full ranks.
- Diamond and Champion players can queue with teammates within two full ranks.
Three maps from the Pro Pool and two maps from the Seasonal Pool will be part of the ban phases. Things look quite positive with the changes Ranked 3.0 has, but we will never know until we get to play.
