Complete Details on the Rainbow Six Siege 5.1 Patch
Here’s the low down on the Rainbow Six Siege 5.1 patch. Shortly after the release of the Operation Red Crow DLC a few days ago, Ubisoft has already released a long list of repairs. The most notable changes revolve around Vote Kick guidelines.
In terms of Ranked games, they have removed it completely. For the time being, that is. Presumably, this will last until they figure out a better and less controversial system. In Casual mode, there will be an increase in the numbers of votes needed to kick a player(s). This depends entirely on the amount, and type, of group members.
There will be quite a few adjustments to the game all around, and a few significant ones depending on how you look at it. Take a gander below at the rich list of information! It may take a while, but you may end up seeing something you like.
The updates for the update will implement today (Tuesday, November 22) across all platforms (Xbox One, PS4, and PC)
