Ubisoft has announced that a new patch for Rainbow Six: Siege will be released later today. This patch will update your game’s version to 2.1.3, and comes with tweaks to Glaz’s scope will make it easier to know when a shot lands or misses.

Moreover, this patch will increase the hip fire spread of Montagne’s LFP586 and will make Echo’s Yokai drone’s sonic burst register all body parts as a valid hit surface to trigger the disorientation effect on the opponent.

Ubisoft has also announced that it will rebuild the backend design of Hibana’s gadget in order to resolve the Hibana’s X-KAIROS Pellet bug that has been reported.

Here is the complete changelog for this new patch for Rainbow Six: Siege.

Rainbow Six: Siege – Patch 2.1.3 Changelog:

Tweaks to Glaz’s scope will make it easier to know when a shot lands or misses.
After shipping the new scope for Glaz with the Velvet Shell Mid-Season Reinforcements, we noticed that the blood splatter visual effects were not working properly. This called into question whether hits would land on the player’s opponent or not. We have also reduced the noise created by the thermal lens, which caused the yellow highlight to bleed from the edges of the character, which gave the player a false sense of where the opponent’s body begins and ends. As a result, players will be able to see much better when a hit lands and when it doesn’t.

• Reduced the noise on the edges of the highlighted enemy.
• Lowered the contrast of the teal tint of the lens.
• Lowered the contrast of the yellow highlight on opponents.
• Fixed the blood splatters effect not appearing on successful shots.

Montagne’s LFP586 hip fire spread has been increased.
Echo’s Yokai drone’s sonic burst now registers all body parts as a valid hit surface to trigger the disorientation effect on the opponent. We felt like it was really hard to hit the head (even more so on consoles), so we’re giving Echo players a lot more room for imprecision to trigger the effect.

Hibana’s X-KAIROS Pellet Bug Status
We have been investigating the issue with Hibana’s gadget randomly not detonating for a long time, and once we found the resolution to this issue we realized it is much more complex than we had expected. After significant testing and tweaking, we decided that the only way to resolve the issue was to rebuild the backend design of Hibana’s gadget. This is not an easy task, but we have targeted this to be completed within Y2S2. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Echo’s Yokai Drone disorients a player if it hits any body part.
Echo’s Yokai drone’s sonic burst now registers all body parts as a valid hit surface to trigger the disorientation effect on the opponent. We felt like it was really hard to hit the head (even more so on consoles), so we’re giving Echo players a lot more room for imprecision to trigger the effect.
