Rainbow Six Siege came out almost a year ago troubled with lots of bugs. Over time developers worked hard on improving the game, releasing lots of patches fixing numerous bugs, brought new maps and operators, and fixed balance problems. This brought many new players, making Rainbow Six Siege one of the best multiplayer titles available today.
Rainbow Six Siege is one very hard game, a proper hardcore tactical shooter. Every kill is hard earned, but that’s the joy of playing the game. Lots of maps keep the game from getting stale, and new operators open new tactical approaches. The latest patch doesn’t bring new maps or operators, but it fixes lots of problems and introduces team kill penalties.
The most important fix is enabling Caveira, one of the DLC operators, to finish her interrogations no matter whether or not an enemy player jumps out of the game. The exploit prevented Caveira from interrogating enemies and finding out positions of other players from attacking team, with players exiting the game as soon Caveira started her interrogation.
Further, a new anti-bullying system will penalize team killers. A blog post published on the PlayStation Lifestyle page reads, “As promised, we are continuing to make improvements to our process for identifying and punishing team killers. In Patch 4.3, we have activated an anti-bullying feature. This is intended to prevent players from targeting a teammate and griefing them repeatedly. Players will now suffer the standard team killing penalty after killing the same teammate twice.”
The new feature introduces serious penalties for bullies:
- First offense: Casual – Kicked from match; Ranked- Banned for 15 minutes, 50% Renown penalty for 30 minutes.
- Second offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 30 minutes.
- Third offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 2 hours.
- Fourth offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 24 hours.
- Fifth offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 7 days.
There are numerous fixes coming with the latest patch. Check the all out below:
