Although the delay may be disappointing, it is crucial to prioritize a smooth launch. Ubisoft’s dedication to quality control is commendable, and a polished update is preferred over dealing with technical issues and bugs at launch.
What’s new at Operation Deep Freeze R6 update?
The Operation Deep Freeze R6 update will soon introduce a new operator, Tubarão, a new map called Lair, and various other features.
Here’s what to expect from Operation Deep Freeze R6 update:
New operator: Tubarão
Tubarão, a Defender from Portugal, comes with a Zoto Canister, a throwable device that can slow enemies, freeze devices, and leave footprints behind.
New map: Lair
Lair is a coastal map set in Portugal, offering diverse outdoor environments.
Reputation system update
This season brings a Reputation System update, including a new phase called the Grace Period. Ubisoft has provided information about the future impacts of a player’s standing and updated the Reputation section to offer more details about a player’s standing and its influencing factors.
Rainbow Six Siege Marketplace Beta
As of November 12, players have the opportunity to register for access to the new R6S Marketplace, which will enter beta in early 2024. The R6S Marketplace is a secure and anonymous web platform for eligible players to trade their items. Transactions in the R6S Marketplace can only be conducted using R6S credits, with a 10% transaction fee.
Versus AI Playlist Beta
Ubisoft is introducing a playlist with newly designed AI opponents to provide players with a low-stress training environment.
Other tweaks and improvements
Operation Deep Freeze also includes several other adjustments and enhancements, such as controller remapping, controller deadzone customization, and a new seasonal weapon skin.
R6 Y8S4 release date
There is currently no official information about the R6 Y8S4 release date. Considering the delay of the Operation Deep Freeze R6 update, Ubisoft appears to want to wait a bit longer before introducing new features to players. It would be reasonable to expect an announcement about the R6 Y8S4 release date in the coming weeks.
