Rainbow Six Siege Y10S1 – Get Ready for Operation Prep Phase

The new Rainbow Six update brings a new operation, along with the arrival of Rauora from New Zealand. He introduces new mechanics, fresh gameplay, and more tactical opportunities.

His key ability is the D.O.M. Panel Launcher, which deploys bulletproof barriers in doorways, restricting enemy movement. But that’s not all—let’s dive into the Y10S1 patch in more detail!

Info

The new Attacker Squad Operator takes on the support role with abilities focused on map control. Despite Hāpai “Rauora” Iwini being a support, she is highly mobile and durable, with two health points and two speed points.

Rauora shines especially when paired with Thatcher, as they have previously worked together during joint SAS operations. This connection is highlighted in her biography, tying into both the game’s storyline and gameplay mechanics, making them a strong duo on the battlefield.

Rainbow 6 Siege Reputation System Changes

With the reputation system exiting beta, all players’ reputation will be reset. As a token of appreciation, those who finished Y9S4 with a Respectable, Esteemed, or Exemplary status will receive a free Alpha Pack.

In Year 10, Season 1, players with a Dishonorable or Disruptive status will face playlist restrictions and won’t be able to unlock certain rewards. Esteemed and Exemplary players will receive an exclusive operator card background.

Players with Respectable status or higher will earn bonus reputation points, which can be exchanged for boosters, Renown, and Alpha Packs.

Rainbow 6 Siege New Dynamic Matchmaking

A highly relevant update that will definitely have a positive impact on the overall game experience.

Dynamic Matchmaking is a new system that adjusts matchmaking based on server load. It adapts to both highly active regions and less populated areas, ensuring consistent match quality. During peak hours, the system focuses on creating the most balanced games possible, providing a fair and comfortable experience that aligns with player skill levels.

Rainbow 6 Siege Celebration Pack

The new Celebration Pack brings excitement with a selection of the best items from nine years of Siege, including rare event collections and seasonal exclusive weapon skins. You can obtain it through the Battle Pass or unlock it with Renown.

New Rainbow 6 Siege Seasonal Weapon Skins

And of course, what’s a new season without a fresh batch of skins?

This season, players will have the chance to obtain the Embers weapon and attachment skin, the Core Strength charm, and the Tectonic Reveal operator card background. These are seasonal skins, meaning they will be available from the season launch and will remain available for purchase throughout the entire season.

Once unlocked, the skin will stay in your inventory permanently and can be applied to all available weapons.

The Long-Awaited Operator Price Reduction

Great news, especially for new players and those who haven’t been playing for long!

The operator price reduction in Operation Prep Phase will bring more variety to gameplay and help keep players engaged. Here’s the list of operators with lowered prices:

• Azami is now 10,000 Renown or 240 R6 Credits.
• Brava is now 15,000 Renown or 360 R6 Credits.
• Deimos is now 20,000 Renown or 480 R6 Credits.

If you haven’t had the chance to try these operators yet, now is the perfect time!
