Shaun E, known in the Siege community as Notamutemain despite Mute being his top played operator, found art as a great creative outlet since he was young. Inspired by community artists such as Sunstark, he began posting Siege-related fanart in July of 2018. From this date, Shaun rapidly honed his artistic skills, leading to many opportunities. He collaborated on multiple occasions with Ubisoft, from having an early look at Flores to create a promotional fanart, to being a part of the Siege Champions program, and finally working on a bundle for Mute!
Shaun uses thick outlines and line art to create his bold, colorful artwork. He gets his inspirations from comic books and expressive artwork with movement and weight.
As a queer individual, Shaun wanted to represent the LGBTQ+ community in his bundle. He pulled inspiration from the artist Tom of Finland, who had a large influence on the late 20th century gay culture. Many symbols of the queer community have been included in this bundle, from the leather biker cap to the transgender symbol. Shaun was also influenced by the punk movement and used some of its distinctive symbols – spikes and chains, slogans of resistance, graffiti and spray paint motifs – to represent the LGBTQ+ community’s resistance to oppression and persecution.
There’s also a distinct clash of art styles reflecting his identity as a Chinese-American artist. We can note the Chinese expression present on the weapon skin that can be translated to “Paint the dragon, dot the eyes”; it is taken from a story which meaning refers to the lack of one small element from the creation that would make it perfect. Shaun is a very driven artist, but he likes this story to remind himself: even when the perfect detail seems to evade him, he can still look back and be proud of what he accomplished.
Today, Shaun is leaving his mark on Rainbow Six Siege with this bundle and the symbols incorporated in it, making it a very meaningful and personal representation of who he is.

Don’t forget to have a look at Shaun’s Twitter and Instagram accounts to see more of his incredible art!

The operators of Team Rainbow now face a lethal, mutating alien invasion.

In Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Extraction, Rainbow Six Siege
players will find familiar operators, gadgets and mechanics, yet all reworked to match Extraction’s unique PVE gameplay.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Extraction builds on the unique tactical first-person shooter elements of the hugely popular to bring an epic one to three–player co-operative PvE experience to players, where teamwork, tactics, and flawless execution are key to survival.

Wishlist Now
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2379390/Tom_Clancys_Rainbow_Six_Extraction/

In Extraction, you and your squad face an evolving alien threat, the Archæans.

Each incursion into the alien containment zone is unique thanks to dynamic variables and unpredictable, deadly challenges. You will have to plan ahead, work with your teammates, and coordinate your tactics to make it out alive.



Rainbow Six Extraction is set to deploy very soon on Steam, so wishlist now to get notified when it becomes available.

In this latest edition of Designer's Notes, we'll go into detail about the balancing changes that'll come with the Y8S2 Season Test Server and give you some insight into the reasons behind them.

WIN DELTA VS. PRESENCE




Please note that we are using presence to gauge the popularity of an Operator. This notion had to be introduced to reflect the implementation of the pick & ban.

Presence definition: pick rate of an Operator when not banned. Win Delta: The Win Delta is aggregated from Operator's Win Deltas per Bomb Site.






OBSERVATION BLOCKER

BASE STATS

• Amount: 3 per operator
  
• Barrier maximum width: 5 meters
  
• Barrier height: 2.2 meters
  
• Type: Electronic
  
• Health: 1hp
  
• Vulnerabilities: Bullets, laser, melee, explosives

The Observation Blocker is the new Secondary Gadget available for Defenders. Once deployed, it creates a digital barrier that blocks vision from any Observation Tool, such as drones, Iana's Gemini Replicator, or Brava's Kludge Drone, so operators or gadgets cannot be spotted through it. This barrier is only visible from Observation Tools, so it won't affect operators in any way. The arms of the device will adapt to the space available, so the projection won't go through walls.

Currently, the only way to deny Attacker droning is by playing Mute, Mozzie, or Solis. The Observation Blocker will now also fulfill this role to a lesser degree, as drones can travel through the barrier with zero penalty. This gadget won't replace those operators, but it will reinforce the gameplay around denying information and allow for more flexibility when a dedicated operator is not required.

During the Preparation Phase, the device can be used to hide information regarding the operators selected or the actual defensive setup. Attackers will need to take more risks with drones to use Attacker Repick at its full potential as they won't know if a Defender is watching from behind the wall. It can also be used to force Attackers to be more accurate when gathering information, as any corner covered by an Observation Blocker can hide a threat.

OPERATORS

The Observation Blocker is added as a 3rd secondary gadget option unless it is specified in the Operator Balancing section below.

• Ela
  
• Rook
  
• Warden
  
• Caveira
  
• Kaid
  
• Maestro
  
• Pulse
  
• Alibi
  
• Jäger

LOADOUT

• Removed Deployable Shield
  
• Removed Impact Grenades.
  
• Added Observation Blocker
  
• Added Proximity Alarm.

Alibi's Prisma blocks line of sight, gathers intel, and tricks attackers. We want to double down on this fantasy by changing all her secondary gadgets to focus on those aspects.

The Observation Blocker will contribute to the mind games around the Prismas allowing you to hide them from drones to be more effective against Attackers. Proximity Alarms as an alternative, will gather intel and contribute to map control.

The removal of Impact Grenades will also help slow her down, as she will have to rely on the Baliff 410 to make all rotations.

LOADOUT

• Added Deployable Shield.

To compensate for her limited fire power Clash will now be able to contribute more to the site setup. Similarly, to what was done with the Super Shorty, we wanted to give her more options.

LOADOUT

• Removed Nitro Cell.
  
• Added Bulletproof Camera.
  
• Added Impact Grenades.

Goyo already has a lot of area denial with the Volcan Canisters, having access to the Nitro Cell fulfills a similar the similar gameplay intention of plant denial. We will replace it with a Bulletproof Camera, so he has an alternative to gather intel and protect his gadgets from being spotted or destroyed by various drones.

We will also give him Impact Grenades as a 3rd option to again encourage flexibility, so you can trigger a couple of Volcan Canisters without needing to have direct line of sight with them.

KAWAN HIVE LAUNCHER

• Equip time: Reduced to 1 second (from 1.1).
  
• Rate of fire: Increased to 70 rpm (from 40).

KAWAN HIVE

• Activation: Time reduced to 0.4 seconds (from 1).
  
• Vulnerabilities: It is also vulnerable to bullets, laser, and melee damage.

HIVE

• Duration: Increased to 16 seconds (from 8).
  
• Size: Radius increased to 4.6 meters (from 3.6).
  
• Detection system: Now detects any part of the body, not only the head.
  
• Decay: Duration reduced to 4 seconds (from 9). The time between pings is normalized to 1 second (from 1/3/9).

LOADOUT

• Added Baliff 410 as a secondary weapon option.
  
• Added Hard Breach Charge as a secondary gadget option.

To make Grim's gadget more impactful, we will tweak some values with the objective of increasing the chances of applying the effect to a Defender.

First, we are making the Kawan Hive Launcher more responsive by reducing the equipping time and increasing the rate of fire, so you can fill up an area much faster. Secondly, the Kawan Hive will release its charge faster, so a well-placed projectile will easily catch defenders nearby. But take note a quick enough defender can still destroy it before this happens as the Kawan Hive is now vulnerable to more damage types. Finally, we are increasing the Hive's radius and duration, so it can better limit the Defender's movements, as a result the effect's decay will be reduced to make it less punishing to touch the area by accident.

We will also improve his loadout to increase its flexibility and allow for more creative ways to use the launcher.

We believe these changes will help him, but other options are being explored as these changes may not be enough to put him in line with other attackers, so more adjustments will come.

LOADOUT

• Removed Barbed Wire.
  
• Added Observation Blocker.

The Observation Blocker has great synergy with operators like Jäger that need to hide their utility from unwanted eyes.

LOADOUT

• Removed Barbed Wire.
  
• Added Deployable Shield
  
• Added Observation Blocker.

It's difficult to compete with the Nitro Cell paired with Pulse's ability, but the Deployable Shield and Observation Blocker can be interesting if you want to play more passively, as they can provide you with some protection while feeding information to your teammates.

LOADOUT

• Removed Deployable Shield.
  
• Added Proximity Alarm.

Smoke is the one to go to when somebody asks for area denial. Even if he's not the optimal option in every situation, his loadout makes him consistently viable and useful. Without the deployable shield, we expect the decision won't be as easy and will leave some space for other area denial defenders.

LOADOUT

• Added Proximity Alarm.

The Proximity Alarms will give Tachanka precise information about where to shoot his Incendiary Grenades and help him use resources more effectively.

LOADOUT

• Removed Impact Grenades
  
• Removed Nitro Cell
  
• Added Barbed Wire
  
• Added Bulletproof Camera

KONA STATION

• Cooldown: Reduced to 15 seconds (from 35).
  
• Healing: Reduced to 20 hp (from 30).

We want to make playing on top of a Kona Station fairer. On Consoles, where headshots are less likely, you may end up fighting against a defender that has +30hp because the automatic heal will trigger on the first tick of damage received. However, we are reducing the cooldown to get heals, so the Kona Station will be available more often when a Defender needs it and will reward staying there to fully heal, as the healing potential over time is higher than before.

Additionally, Thunderbird was released with a very strong loadout that encourages very aggressive play. We want to reduce her killing potential by removing the Nitro Cell and make the shotgun a meaningful option by removing her Impact Grenades. We will replace them with support focused gadgets that we believe fit her role better.

Our latest Anti-Cheat Status Update for May 2023 is here.


For an overview on bans, we bring our latest BattlEye and Data Ban numbers, including data for 2023.


*Total bans from previous months have been corrected following a database update.


Since our last update we have worked to fortify our security behind the scenes, making cheat development more tedious. We have also fixed a number of cheats that were not player facing but affecting game balance.


MMR Rollback was temporarily disabled following the release of Y8S1 to avoid bugs in rollbacks. We have since resolved the related issues and the MMR Rollback system is now active.


Y8S1.2 saw the successful release of Mousetrap on consoles. While we're extremely proud of this milestone, we know that closely and continuously monitoring this new system remains crucial.

As we move forward, we are prepared to make any necessary adjustments to ensure that we maintain a robust, reliable, and fair detection and sanctioning system - this is a front we are committed to.


In-game reporting continues to be the best way to get your reports to us. If you are reporting a cheater on social media, the following can help us to identify and sanction them.

• Clear video or photo proof of the incident
  
• The offending player's Username, UserID, or Privacy Mode Nickname
  
• Match ID for any relevant matches
  
• Date and time of the incident

Each season, as we introduce new content, we are also providing an updated Roadmap to ensure transparency on upcoming features. When making those adjustments, we are considering multiple factors including the community feedback.

Today's update reflects some of the feedback you've shared with us following the Year 8 Reveal Panel back at the Six Invitational 2023 last February.

Year 8 is bringing a lot of new features, so without further ado, let’s dive into the mid-season Roadmap update!

• Status: confirmed for Y8S2

Permanent Arcade is one of the most anticipated playlists, and we are happy to announce that thanks to all the hard work put into it, this feature will release in Season 2! You will soon be able to play several new game modes and enjoy the return of out-of-the-ordinary matches!

• Status: confirmed for Y8S2

You saw some rooms of the new Consulate map during the Year 8 Reveal Panel, but we can now confirm that the new reworked map will be released in Season 2. As one of Siege’s oldest maps, this major rework is not to be taken lightly; it required a complete rebuild from the ground up.

• Status: confirmed for Y8S2

As announced at the Six Invitational 2023, we are bringing even more training features to Siege this year than ever before. We are working on several new features and enhancements of the Shooting Range, and they are now confirmed to release with Season 2. Lock and load Operators, the updated Shooting Range will be one of the best ways to put your skills to the test!

• New target delivery: Y8S3

We shifted the target delivery of the rework of Operator Frost following the Community’s feedback and comments after the Year 8 Reveal Panel at the Six Invitational. A first test of these balancing changes will be playable on the Y8S2 LAB TS in June. We want to make sure we do not hinder our dear Canadian Operator's effectiveness in the field while we aim to bring more balance and gameplay opportunities with the update to her gadget.

• Earlier target delivery: Y8S2 instead of Y8S3

As we have shifted the target delivery of the Operator Frost Rework, we are aiming to release the new observation blocker gadget a full season earlier than announced at the Six Invitational. This new Intel Denial gadget will soon be in your hands!

• Target delivery: Y8S2 (Part I) and Y8S4 (Part II)

We are actively working on Operator Grim to improve his impact. In order for you to get your hands on this rework sooner, we have broken this update into two parts. The first update is set to be released in Season 2, and the next one in Season 4.


Stay tuned for the upcoming Year 8 Season 2 reveal and join the discussion on Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, Discord, and Facebook.

Check out the public Roadmap for more information on the changes coming your way!
