We would like to get a better picture of the Rainbow Six community here on our subreddit!
We understand that this subreddit is a fountain of information, both as a place for feedback, but also as discussions between players as well. We'd appreciate your response to our survey here: https://ubisoft.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_034uacy21TfYusR

As context to this thread, this was a reply from our Twitter to a comment made by GodlyNoob. The dev charm + skin removal (which happened on March 11th) did not stem from him. We are working to manage the perception of who is/is not currently a dev on the game. Players who see a dev charm + skin in game have certain expectations that this is an employee from Ubisoft and has ties to the current game team.
The dev charm and weapon skin is not used as a way to credit a past dev’s contributions to the game. This is more accurately represented in the game credits and personal portfolios of everyone who has worked here.
I also do want to touch on the cheaters issue. We do have something to share soon, and we want to make sure we’re communicating tangible tactics we have coming up! Thank you for all your patience.

Read moreAHHHHHHH! It's so cute :3
You serious?
"These bans are targeting players that abused the chat symbol exploit to crash matches. They will have varying lengths, depending on the frequency and severity of the exploit's usage."
Depending on how many times they exploited it, they can be banned for longer. The minimum is at 2 days. However, there are definitely players who got permabanned during this ban wave. Hope that helps :)
Yeah I'll try clip it when it happens
Much appreciated :D
Sounds strange! So all footsteps are constantly missing? Would you happen to be able to record a video that showcases this issue? Would definitely help!
It actually works fine now! It was happening the day before the RFF was added to live servers, so I believe that was the issue.
But if you really want that info, it was happening on each map I played on. My sound was completely backwards, the drone audio where it jumps and lands cut out when I got near the building we were supposed to go in, and while spectating teammates, I couldn't hear anything. Anything. And when the match was over, the mvp screen would just show a shot of the ground instead of the winning team.
Oh, that's definitely good info to have -- that it seems like after RFF was activated, it solved your issues. Strange though!
Thanks very much for the additional info as well!
Hey McCoy! Was wondering if I could get a bit more info on this? Do you recall what you had done leading up to the sound issues? Since it worked fine before?
Was it on particular maps? Any further details I can pass along to the team would be helpful! And sorry for the frustrations.
Area of effect gadgets (Cap, Fuze, Smoke,etc) should NEVER have RFF activated on them and should ALWAYS harm teammates as they are easily abused if teammates can stand in them with no punishment
Hey Shadow -- the explosives that will change in Season 2 refers to the generic gadgets that result in an explosion rather than the unique operator gadgets. Sorry about the confusion!
The kitchen window on Coastline makes no noise when an attacker does a run out if you are close to it. If you're far away, you can hear it. But if you're under the VIP balcony or near the vending machine, there isn't any sound of boards breaking or hopping out.
There's sound bugs like this everywhere right now. It's awful for players (like me) who typically sound whore.
Hey Patrick! To clarify on this particular case, there is a glass on that window. The glass act just as a wall would (blocks sound) so if the barricade is destroyed while leaving the glass intact ( i.e. melee the bottom of it 3 times) the sound will not propagate until the glass is broken.
Thanks very much for the specificity of your feedback! And of course, all reports on sound issues in general from you all here :) It helps with repro-ing if any steps or specifics you remember are passed along in your reports!
！！！that’s nice!omg！you can read Chinese?
Only a bit! I grew up in Hong Kong for my high school years, so I recognize words here and there. But I'm a shame to my Chinese ancestors 😂
Haha it even says "drink more hot water" :') This is so Asian, I love it!
Shared with the Dev team and we're in the process of investigating! Thanks for sharing your recording. Super detailed!
So an update on this: the hitbox is intended. Our operators each get classified into several categories of hitboxes. Blitz's hitbox is smaller than that of Montagne/Fuze.
As some of you recall, since Operation Health, clothing is not counted as part of the hitbox for an operator.
From the video, what's being shot is Blitz's arm padding. The thicker padding coupled with his smaller actual body frame is what can be observed in the clip. Hope this helps clear things up a little!

what about the difference between 49.5gb and 35.7gb? I've got 49.5 to download while my friend only got 35... we're both on pc and on steam
It does vary a bit based on which edition of the game you have (i.e. Deluxe/Gold/Ultimate)! Do you both have the exact same one though?
Edit: A bit of miscomms on my part, apologies! The sound pack from different regions do differ in size is what I was thinking about. But I'm guessing you both use the same language as well? We'll keep an eye out for more reports like this!
can you send this up the chain of command? i only want this patched so i can enjoy the new map to its fullest extent!
We see there's also an R6fix thread for this: https://r6fix.ubi.com/live-server/LIVE-9070-Exploit_discovered_on_Outback_-_Lets_attackers_phase_through_a_wall_while_rappeling/ Feel free to submit yours on there too if you've got a moment!
Thanks for flagging this with us!
Wow this is really beautiful
