New permanent mode "Dual Front
A new permanent mode, the 6-on-6 "Dual Front" is now available. In this mode, players will be able to defend their own sectors and capture enemy sectors on a new map called "Zone". One of the features of this mode is that both attacker and defender operators can be organized into the same team, allowing for coordination that has been impossible in previous "Rainbow Six Siege" games. The ability to change operators when respawning allows both beginners and experienced players to easily enjoy the game.
Dual Front" is only available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Enhanced visuals and additional objects in traditional maps, such as clubhouses and mountain cabins
Rainbow Six Siege X will also enhance the visuals of classic maps with new lighting and shadows. At the time of release...
- Clubhouse
- Villa
- Borders
- Banks
- Cafe
... a renewed version of the "new" version of the "old" version of the "new" version. In addition, three maps will be enhanced or newly added each season.
In addition, destructible objects will be added as a change to enhance the strategic nature of the game. Fire extinguishers, gas cans, metal detectors, etc. will not only be destructible, but will also be an important factor in impeding the enemy's ability to conduct operations.
Sprinting and cornering while rappelling is now possible.
The rappelling system has been greatly enhanced in "Rainbow Six Siege X." The system allows for more flexibility in how you move, such as sprinting horizontally or turning a corner of a building.
Silence on the carpet and real-time sound reverberation
Sound is one of the most important pieces of information in Rainbow Six Siege. This update makes it easier to distinguish between up, down, left and right sounds, and the acoustics will also change depending on the size of the room and whether it is indoors or outdoors. It is easy to imagine that the way sounds change in real time depending on the condition of walls and other objects, expanding the range of tactics.
Real-time detection to eradicate illegal players
Rainbow Six Siege X" will feature the R6 ShieldGuard anti-cheat system. The system will be able to implement existing anti-cheat protection as well as future security updates without regular maintenance. Ubisoft aims to make it more difficult to tamper with the game, as well as to eradicate cheaters through unexpected updates of R6 ShieldGuard.
