Rainbow Six Siege Patch Notes: All Operator Tweaks, Vulkan Support In Update 4.3

By ESR on 4 februarie 2020

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege will be receiving another update before the end of the month, with Vulkan API support headlining the patch for players on PC. The patch will also address ADS (Aim Down Sights) speeds for all weapons, rectifying an unexpected increase with an animations patch with Ember Rise, and tweaks a number of operators. [Update: Following the PC patch’s release, the update is also now available on PS4 and Xbox One.]

Vulkan support is now available for PC, with Update 4.3 (aka Y4S4.3) having launched for PC on Tuesday. This allows you to select between the current DirectX 11 version or Vulkan when launching the game. The Vulkan API offers some performance improvements over DirectX 11 in general, which Ubisoft detail in a separate post, but experimentation between the two is advised.

Now Playing: Testing Rainbow Six Siege Y4S4 Operators

Xbox One and PS4 players can expect the new update a day later on January 29, with all gameplay changes and fixes being applied to all platforms. The most significant change is to the ADS speeds of all weapons, with some increasing by over 30%. In the Designer’s Notes for the patch, it’s explained that the decrease is to offset a previous increase in ADS speeds that came about with an animation patch in Ember Rise. Ubisoft says this should return weapons to their original values.

In addition to some balancing changes to numerous Operators, Ubisoft has also identified the increase in Lesion’s win-rate and overall usage. Although they haven’t yet decided on an approach to further balance the Operator, they do state that they are looking at ways to reduce his overall effectiveness and the subsequent frustration he is currently causing players.

The full patch notes for 4.3 can be found below:
