Rainbow Six Siege Y11S3.3 Patch: Buffs for Jackal and Commando 9
Ubisoft has unveiled the changelog for the Y11S3.3 update in Rainbow Six Siege. The patch focuses on incremental balance adjustments for several operators, weapon buffs, and improvements to player privacy and interface stability.
The update introduces several key adjustments aimed at fine-tuning gameplay without shifting the overall meta. Notably, Jackal receives a range increase for the Eyenox Model III gadget, which now extends from 12 to 15 meters. The Commando 9 rifle also sees a power boost, with base damage rising from 36 to 38 HP, affecting Mozzie, Noor, and Sentry. Additionally, the damage for Nitro Cells has been increased from 180 to 185 HP.
Other operator adjustments include a slight reduction in Aruni's Surya Gate overload duration, now 28 seconds instead of 30. Ace's second S.E.L.M.A. Aqua Breacher charge deployment time has increased to 1.1 seconds, while Flores' RCE-Ratero Charge now takes 11 seconds to self-destruct. Denari's T.R.I.P. Connector deals 22 HP (up from 20), and Brava's Kludge Drone now has a reduced delay of 0.9 seconds between shots in the event of a miss.
Beyond combat, Ubisoft has enhanced player privacy by extending privacy settings to the intro, readiness, and results screens. The patch also addresses various technical issues, such as infinite loading animations when unlocking operators, incorrect marker colors in the shooting range, and UI bugs related to daily rewards and text chat.
