The latest update of Rainbow Six Seige is here and with it, one of the best as well as fan-favorite character arrived with it which was Sam fisher. He was added to the game but his alias in the game is “Zero” and he comes with a new set of gadgets that includes spy cameras with offensive lasers. Sam isn’t the only thing that has arrived at the game with this 14gb update. In this, there is now an option to equip 1x scopes on every operator that is in the game. There are also 1.5x on Mozzie’s P10 Roni, 1.5x on Alibi’s ACS12, 2.0x on Maestro’s ACS12, and 2.5x on Hibana’s Type-89 scopes available. The holo scopes are been give to some operators as well because of community feedback. Down below you can see the patch notes of the latest update.
UPDATES
• PING 2.0
We’re currently evaluating the feedback that we’ve received on Ping 2.0 over the course of the Test Server. So far, we’ve observed that the benefits of the new ping system are more heavily weighted towards more casual players, but we also understand the potential drawbacks raised by high-tier players about the new ping system. With this in mind, we would like to spend some more time gathering data and feedback on the live servers. We’ll continue closely monitoring the impact of Ping 2.0 while it’s on live while we take a closer look at our options to try and will do our best to incorporate feedback to make the new Ping 2.0 an enjoyable experience and useful tool for players of all backgrounds.

• OPTICS
– 1X SCOPE OPTIONS AND AVAILABILITY
We have heard player feedback on the availability of options for 1x scopes on operators. While making the 1x scopes available for all the operators is something that we have considered, there are a number of design limitations that prevent us from making it a possibility at this time. We are currently exploring our options and will share more when we have a better solution.
– SCOPE ADDITIONS
* 1.5x on Mozzie’s P10 Roni
* 1.5x on Alibi’s ACS12
* 2.0x on Maestro’s ACS12
* 2.5x on Hibana’s Type-89
• HOLO
Based on feedback over the course of the TS, we’ve given
the old Holo back to some operators, while swapping the new Holo to others to gather more data and feedback. This change should give players more agency when choosing between using the new Holo vs. other alternatives. This will also only impact DEF operators with 1x zoom scopes. We’ll be closely studying and monitoring the performance of the two Holos and player feedback on the live servers as well.
– Re-added old Nato Holo in place of the new MH1 Holo for Wamai (AUG A2), Oryx (Mp5), Pulse (Ump 45)
– Added new Nato Holo to replace old Holo for Castle (Ump45), Doc (Mp5), Echo (Mp5SD)
• NOMAD
Gave Nomad more options on her scopes to make them feel and look a bit better.
– ARX: Removed 1.5x, Added 2.0x
– AK: Removed 2.0x, Added 1.5x and 2.5x
• ADS SENSITIVITY
The sensitivity slider now goes up to 200. Don’t forget that when you patch into the new season, your old sensitivity settings will automatically be converted into the new system.
If you want to calculate your own conversions, check out our sensitivity guide.
• PLAYER BEHAVIOR
* MMR CHANGES FOR ANTI-BOOSTING
To discourage boosting and de-ranking, players can no longer drop below 1000 MMR, and players cannot gain more than 150 MMR from any game.
• VOTE-TO-KICK REMOVAL (LATER IN THE SEASON)
Early in the season, we will be removing the vote-to-kick feature from Quick Match. We’ve been monitoring the use of vote-to-kick for the last seasons and have confirmed that it is indeed a highly abused feature used as a disruption tool and that it is considered by most to be a pain point in this playlist. Considering that it brings more tension to Quick Match, we decided to turn it off.
• IN-GAME REPORT NOTIFICATIONS
You will now receive in-game notifications after a player you reported is sanctioned. These will replace the ‘Thank you’ emails that used to be sent out in this scenario. We are replacing the emails with notifications to be more transparent about our sanction process. It also allows us to keep sanction communication in-game, making it easier for users to get updates while they play.
