Ubisoft Buffs Noor and Tachanka in Rainbow Six Siege Y11S3.2 Patch

Ubisoft has introduced the Y11S3.2 update for Rainbow Six Siege. The patch focuses on significant adjustments to the gadgets of Noor and Tachanka, alongside a reduction in the capabilities of Solid Snake. Additionally, fire damage has been increased, and Valkyrie has gained a new secondary weapon.

The Horus Lance Launcher used by Noor has undergone extensive improvements to better counter shield operators. The deployment animation is now faster, dropping from 0.9 to 0.4 seconds, and the drilling time for ballistic shields and surfaces has been reduced from 2 to 1.5 seconds. To punish positioning mistakes, the knockback force upon impact has increased to 100%, and direct hit damage has been raised from 50 to 80 units. Hitbox registration for the projectiles has also been adjusted for better consistency.

Tachanka's Shumikha grenade launcher now features an additional firing mode: incendiary grenades can detonate immediately upon contact with a surface. This allows players to create instant fire zones, while the original bouncing mode remains available for indirect fire.

In contrast, Solid Snake has been nerfed, with the number of charges in the Soliton Radar MK III precision mode reduced from four to three. This change aims to limit the amount of reconnaissance data available and increase the tactical importance of timing the mode's use.

Other notable changes include:

• Valkyrie has been added the Glaive-12 in her secondary weapon slot, facilitating quicker creation of viewing holes and positioning for Black Eye cameras.
• Fire damage has been increased from 12 to 14 health units, affecting Capitão's incendiary bolts, Dokkaebi's gadget, Goyo's containers, Noor's Horus Lance, Tachanka's grenades, and gas pipes.
• Clash's slowdown effect on retreating opponents has been increased from 5% to 10%.
• Osa now faces fewer restrictions when deploying the Talon-8 transparent shield, allowing for more versatile placements.
• Barbed wire now acts as a hard counter to Ram's BU-GI devices, causing them to stop and self-destruct if they become entangled.

The update also addresses several bugs, including fixes for the Horus Lance sight transparency and Osa's shield deployment mechanics.
