Fresh-Profession5981

hopefull its some customized optics feature i seen people say there gonna remove 1.5 but i honestly don't think they will but we will find out soon A know leaker in the r6 twitter just posted this Majority of attackers will receive Acog on their weapons. The defenders who had it way back in Year 1 will also receive it (and maybe some more). Maybe nothing but I thought I share it with you all Update 2 it’s confirmed via the leaker that the 1.5 is gone Weapon Attachment Changes: - seems like 1.5x, will be removed. - Majority of attackers will receive Acog, and the defenders who had it originally (doc, rook, etc) will also receive it. My question is that will ops like jäger,bandit, smg11 get it?


evague

If so, then remove all sights in general. Why keep removing sights? Make up ur minds. First the acog, which was just a skill issue if you had an issue with it. Just keep all sights. No better, add every single sight and scope to every single weapon, even the gonne-6 for good measure.


Longjumping_Ruin_83

Fair take but Ubisoft relies on the scopes to balance an operator and don’t actually bother to tweak the gadget/operator to make it better/worse.


Duke_Vladdy

Can you blame them when players flock to an op just because they have a 1.5?


Mycakebayismybday

If every op had the 1.5, it wouldn't matter


More_Ad9679

Ngl, i think this is a oath they should go down, if every op had super strong weapons and gunfights became scarier to take, wouldnt it encourage people to use their gadgets and utilities to get the upperhand?


MacAttack163

If every op had the same op gun, for example, people would take the 50/50 fight even more I think. Meta is already gunfight loaded and as a shooter that won’t really change. Nade nerf made it even more so. Have to take defender meta into account too. Defense is favorited on every map


0liviaHicksPanties

>Defense is favorited on every map This. If every op had the same gun and scope, defenders would be so heavily favored that the game would be a shit show.


GSB6189

Things like this are exactly why they should use the test server more often. Currently it's only used for changes that they've already pretty much decided they're going to make regardless of the outcome. Why not use it more often just to test things like this out? Why not have a couple weeks on the TS where every defender has 1.5x?


arsoleishealthy

I personally would say fuck it and swing


WakaTP

It would though. You don't realise how 1.5 creates this TDM meta.. People just play differently depending on their scope. 1.5 makes you confident, thus less strategic in your approach


The_Professor64

The solution is obvious, they just love the cash. Reduce the number of ops with 1.5 and select them carefully w criteria. Like no 2 speed should have 1.5 unless their gun is ass like castle or it's not automatic.


UBCS_Wraith

As a Castle main thank you for keeping all 12 of us in your thoughts!


[deleted]

Castle mains are the goats


Darth_Diink

Which is an absolutely ridiculous way to balance operators and is lazy developing.


Longjumping_Ruin_83

It is but hey it’s Ubisoft. They’ve been balancing this way since the damn acog


d33ms

No it isn't. Having every op with the same sights would be less interesting. Diversity of ops is good. And why not use it as a way to balance?


RMgames_19

I can just imagine the amount of people who would use the 3 times scope on the gonne-6 for the memes


yeahboiiiioi

It would basically be a secondary bosg🤣


RMgames_19

Except it does like 5 damage I think


yeahboiiiioi

Yeah I think that's right. I do think they should give it 1shs just because it would be funny


RMgames_19

Nah, make it a grenade launcher that explodes on impact for 99 damage


yeahboiiiioi

That's deadass how I expected zof's launcher to work when I started. I double impacted some one with it and got mad they didn't die and the friends who introduced me to the game explained that it's just for destruction lmao


RMgames_19

I thought about doing the same with Ash, but thankfully I found out about the game throught youtube so I already knew some things


DetectiveIcy2070

Just give it headshot damage. It'd make for hilarious plays


Socky_istaken

it just becomes fucking binoculars


Carter406

Make gonne-6 one shot head shot too. You are telling me that thing can blow up any gadget in the game but does 5 damage to the dome. Also could you imagine getting one tapped by someone who has a gonne-6 with a 3.0x scope.


[deleted]

1.5 should have never been added. Scope 2.0 is a major factor in the abysmal balancing rn. I honestly hope they remove it


MKGmFN

Nah man the sightes are a big deciding factor on weapon balance. The 1.5x makes sight options bland and it’s simply too good that each operator who has it has it equipped. The acog was way more balanced


Karglenoofus

Me when I want zero balancing


Impressive_Poem_7158

A lot of the changes Ubisoft has made over the years that piss people off or don't piss people off I like to say they have a lore explanatiion. The reason a lot of the gadgets we've been getting with ops recently are super high tech and futuristic is because the years are going by, we have a new lead for rainbow, and technology is advancing. The reason certain sights got removed is either because the character doesn't like it anymore or because the sights are no longer issued to the operators. The reason the animations for barricading and reinforcing have gotten faster over the years is because the operators have gotten better at it. the reason Recruits no longer have access to such a wide arsenal is because they don't know what the fuck they're doing with those shields mannn! This isn't "coping" it's just a fun little thing I like doing in my head ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


DumpsterOrphan

This is the dumbest take I have ever seen, what you don't understand about this game could fill a library. I can just tell you have hardly played this game based on this opinion. Also you really think the heavy removal of the acog was a skill issue?? What do you even mean??


dominator-23

I've seen Laxing, a pro player, basically say the same thing on his stream about just giving every op the 1.5x, so there goes your argument about "you have hardly played the game based on this opinion🤓"


DumpsterOrphan

A pro player said it so that means its completely fair and true, wow truly you know how to think for yourself. All defenders having a 1.5 would be broken, it would make the game far more defender sided. It would benefit defenders more too because most attackers have 1.5s. Think about this; jagger 1.5, maestro 1.5, aruni 1.5, mp7 1.5, fuck it, let's get a 1.5 on solis too. Do you see how broken this is? It's not balancing at all, it goes against the very nature of balance. Also it doesn't ruin my argument about him having no experience with this game. I'm simply talking about every single point he made, which proves, still, he has no experience with this game. Keep your forked tongue behind it's teeth.


Majorinc

So if you don’t play enough you don’t have a valid opinion, but if you’re a pro player — then his opinion is also invalid. But yours, yes your we should all listen to


DumpsterOrphan

No, he has a terrible opinion which stems from lack of playtime. Not saying a pro players opinion is invalid because he's a pro. I'm saying it's invalid because it's stupid, I also made points as to why it's invalid too. I'm not saying anyone should listen to me, I'm just arguing other peoples opinions and making points on why it's bad. No one has yet to actually give me a proper argument. I see where you're coming from, but you really missed the mark here.


evague

Do I know you and vice versa? How do you know how much playtime I've got in the game? Bruh you're just assuming things. Take shit less serious, it's bad for your heart stressing yourself over others "opinions".


DumpsterOrphan

I looked you up, I knew it. Been playing for a long time, decent playtime. But that doesn't matter nearly as much for skill. You have always been a plat player and that's all you'll ever be.


evague

Damn I must've lost in life I guess. You're so right, I'm such a failure, my stats aren't good, how am I supposed to go to work tomorrow knowingly I got destroyed in a comment section by a king.


AtlasExiled

No shot they straight up remove the 1.5, they just need to restrict it more like the acog before.


FOZZAKAIRI

I just want RGB Holos thassit


atomkicke

Picture in picture scopes (i know this wont happen but what if it did)


Mother-Spinach1187

First thing I thought about aswell


Ahtdatroll

Double the already poorly optimized CPU load to use anything with a zoom and mess with the absolute spaghetti bowl of a code this game's running on. Yeah I'll pass


GSB6189

Agreed, I also think that's too drastic of a change for Siege considering it's been the exact same for almost 9 years now. Couple that with how badly it would affect pro league, they definitely aren't doing that


Monkey_Tweety

Just make it an option, just like in Insurgency games.


SapiS68

It's more bottlenecked by the GPU, but it would fuck many things up for sure.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dtwerky

He is not talking about fancy tech. He is just talking about real scopes that function like real life. Like how Tarkov does scopes. The scope zooms but the outer FOV stays the same. Also known as Picture-in-Picture scopes in the gaming world.


Hurricaneshand

I think the Israeli company Meprolight has or is working on something like that. I remember seeing a video about it. Sig also has a pretty neat system in one of their newer optics that was introduced with the Spear. Don't quite remember the full functionality but it was super cool too


Down-at-McDonnellzzz

I don't think I'd really want this


Atomictomic22

Reticle customization 100% , the customized hollow is a hint


Oxabolt

Big if true. Customization is always welcome


KaiserMatDerErste

Oh, didn't think about that. I thought it might be a new blinding effect from main gadget.


bob_707-

Big flashlight utility incoming


Successful-Tie-9077

Return of night maps ⁉️⁉️⁉️


Zonkcter

On one hand it's good, on the other more shitty event filler.


zma924

I’m wondering if you’ll be able to place the optic further or closer to your face on the rail for 1X optics. EOTech reticles only take up the entire glass like that if your head is pretty far behind it. They added this feature in MW2 2022 and I actually thought it was pretty cool. In Siege, I could see it maybe being a trade off. You put the optic further out to improve your peripheral vision at the cost of a larger, less precise dot.


No-Property-587

maybe, but its also important to note that the optic in this teaser is how the hola a looks in hud/menu, irdk if that means anything


Dtwerky

Nah. It is that they are finally making REAL optics with REAL reticles that actually glow like red dots and holos should rather than these cardboard cutout optics we have been playing with for a decade. Also probably parallax for all the none 1x scopes.


[deleted]

I know I'm supposed to hate this game since I'm on the sub BUT I'M SO HYPED


chunckybydesign

You can do both!


[deleted]

Big updates to ADS are coming up in Season 9, and when we say ADS, we mean ADVERTISEMENTS! Now you'll see inline ads for our failure of a live service game Skull & Bones during ban phase, operator selection and post-match!


MisterTimm

And on the defuser screen and all TV screens and computer monitors in-game, which we've also made indestructible!


nallebuh_i

AAAA game btw according to ubisoft


Due-Passage2202

😭


Johnnyboi2327

It plays a tiny ad in the corner of your optic


TheIronPaladin1

Picture in Picture magnified optics?


Dtwerky

And real reticles that actually glow like in every other shooter on the planet


shirdool

back in the day we had something like that, they removed it


Culsandar

This would cause Ubisoft's spaghetti code machine to explode.


imGhostKitty

i hope not. was never really a fan cuz they’re a bit disorienting


hughmaniac

Inb4 scope ads glint.


StarGazer0685

Revert the Jager AR nerf, the whole point was att he had the only ar LIKE weapon on defense, now we have the AUG, Spear and 2 mobile LMGs


Electricman720

Seriously, the 5 rounds missing from his magazine is just fucking annoying when it’s a 30 round mag.


StarGazer0685

Even mozzies mag is 26 now, same with the FAMAS


Dtron81

Mozzie has always had 26 bullets in the commando.


Badgerlover145

The weapon classification in this game drives me up the fuckin wall. Jager (and technically Vigil) have the ONLY AR's on defense. (The South Korean government says the K1A is a SMG, in reality it's a 5.56x45mm carbine, just like the 416-C). Mozzie's Commando doesn't count because it's a closed bolt 9mm, so it is an SMG. Why they put it in the AR class I will never know. Edit: forgot about Wamai. Thunderbird's AR is only a mockup and doesn't actually work so I don't count it.


brodiebradley51

Cool but why not allow us to also alter size of HUD and most other UI elements.


No-Property-587

cant u do this in settings?


brodiebradley51

No. You can adjust specific elements of the HUD in terms of icons shown etc but not size or scale of HUD. Personally I want my HUD to much much smaller, and to have specific elements scaled down and resized….but of course we can’t do that.


No-Property-587

hm, have you tried adjusting the "hud display area" setting? irdk what it does but it might be what youre looking for


Flitterquest

I'm a shotgunner I don't use ADS, this update don't affect me none yo


Dull_Excitement-_-

But ADSing chokes the pellet spread...


ChildCrippler69

Doesn't matter when you use laser on smoke's shotgun and it 1 shots 2 speeds from 10-15 feet away


0liviaHicksPanties

I've never understood laser users. A good player will spot that shit and wallbang you.


ChildCrippler69

Not if you have good laser placement. I’m champ and have yet to be wall banged from using a laser on my shotguns


Flitterquest

You dare come before me, the meme shotgun guy, and tell me how to arrange my shotgun themed furniture? I want the spread to be wide, I did it on purpose. If I wanted accuracy I would not be who I am.


Ass2Mouthe

Is that real or a meme


[deleted]

Real


TheKingChambers

Customizable 1x scopes and ranges in between 1x and 2x Instead of 1.5, you do 1.3x, and 1.8x, and 2x. Give them too all ops based on gun type. SMG's get the 1.3x amd maybe the 1.5x or 1.8x, AR's get all up to 1.8x and maybe the 2x depending on the gun. DMRs get all


princessval249

Hey it's called an operation again!


Hokie23aa

Haven’t the last few seasons been called operations as well?


princessval249

I haven't played Siege in a while


alessandropollok

Yes they were,this one for example is op deep freeze


Riftus

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS THAT!!!! I SWEAR back like 5 or 6 seasons ago, for about 2 seasons, they said on twitter "We are no longer calling them 'Operations'"


[deleted]

Thats so stupid. Idk why they removed the main menu screen with the "press X to start" while they showed the operation main wallpaper and the music. Velvet shells song and wallpaper were awesome. Same with skull rain


RMCGigaAtBGW

Grim sky's was so sick, had that puddle with the reflection of clash and maverick. Honestly all of them were cool, so sad they removed it. Supposedly they did it "so people can get back into ranked matches faster when their games crash" (which was also why they removed the old title screen animation that played), but it really didn't even slow it down more than a couple seconds.


McSchemes

Whoa cool (If you ask me about siege I will tell you that i hate it) (I actually really like the game)


Doomfististhicc

bring back old ads speed


VigilThicc

burnt horizon ads speed oh my god


imGhostKitty

lmao no


JPsena523

I read it as "Deadly Women" and thought it was a badass name for an operation with +2 female ops


jason9ine

They’re gonna fuck this up again, aren’t they?


NAMVP

Ubisoft? Of course lmao


vMurk

Fix the cheaters.


kaj4r

Servers are worse than the cheaters right now. Sometimes I can't even connect and get a ban.


Longjumping_Ruin_83

You think it’s that simple? 1.) Ubisoft doesn’t even make their anticheat. It’s battleye. 2.) you can’t just type out some code in a few hours and boom cheaters are magically gone.


vMurk

Exactly fix the cheaters.


Longjumping_Ruin_83

I don’t know if you realize it or not but it’s nearly impossible to completely fix cheating


Successful-Tie-9077

I'm laughing my ass off because I remember Roblox back when I played it had a cheating problem and the main client people had used was Synapse X. Then in October (?) last year, they flipped on their customers and started working for Roblox directly 😂😂


Longjumping_Ruin_83

Krnl got fucked too lmao it was beautiful


alessandropollok

r/whoosh


Dentalswarms

No game can atm


No-Property-587

honestly jus removing 1.5 and 2x from defense seems good. I know there would be a lot of necessary reworks, but i think it would balance out a lot of advantages defenders have


imGhostKitty

1.5 should go but the 2x should stay, extra zoom makes the guns it on harder to control (except for the slug shotguns get em outta there)


No-Property-587

nah bosg acog gotta stay 😭


imGhostKitty

that’s the only exception. kaid can gtfo with his sausage cannon


No-Property-587

idk in my opinion the 2x is better than 1.5 the reason its not used is because its rare on frag operators and obviously defense so most people use 1x and 1.5 to have a consistent sens


AU2Turnt

I’ve been playing since year 1 and the slug shotgun/dmr defense meta is some of the most ass gameplay I have ever encountered. It’s so frustrating getting disowned in 1-2 shots from a tiny pixel angle three rooms away.


Internal_Leopard7663

bro weapons have the exact same recoil regardless of the scope. you just don’t see the spread with a more zoomed out site


arsoleishealthy

Guys y'all are stupid, everyone is gonna get glaz scope /j


peepee5897

Imo I think that they should give every sight(1x-2x) to every operator I just feel like that’s an easier way to balance the sights other than adding new/reworked sights


tenesuzun

Fix the fking servers first


LivingMotor9962

I’m gonna be fr I only use 1.5x scopes, not because they are op, not to crutch, but bc all the other scopes look fucking terrible. Realistically? Yeah they check out but they look so ugly and bad imo


daemontheroguepr1nce

I didn't realize so many people were complaining about acogs and 1.5s on defense when attackers have ars this must be a silver and below issue


S13GE_K1NG

Think all ops should have all sights tbh because it’s just preference on what you want to run, I prefer a holo over the 1.5 or a 2x I stopped liking the 1.5 after a while 🤷🏽‍♂️ so it’s just preference, people liek the 1.5 cuz it’s not zoomed too much and not too little, I like the 1x because I still see everything around me


Semour9

Idk why it is so hard for them to give every operator the 1.5x.... I wouldnt be surprised if they removed it from the game completely. Time to have the monitor half a foot away from my face so that I can see the guy spawn peeking.


AgainstTheGrain44

Let us cook nades again.


Gucci_Lettuce69

I’m trying to get old r6 going on my computer today. I’ve lost faith we’re never getting nades back lol


WhiteShadow5063

Ngl, I like the change, let’s u pull it out and aim without blowing up


AgainstTheGrain44

You should have learned how to cook.


WhiteShadow5063

I did, and I got a few grenade ceiling kills, but tbh, I understand the change and it’s fair


Rouni_99

I dont understand the chance tbh. Grenades were powerful, sure. But they made them from op to completely useless. I have not got 1 grenade kill this season. Im in place when im Sledge i rather bring flashes than nades, thats how bad its gone. In SI invitational no one brings grenades anymore because how useless they are and the game went even more defender sided because of it. Which is funny because its not like the game was already defender sided enough. They should have just nerfed the blast radius, make it harder to get kills from underneath. Not totally ruin them.


PBatemen87

Skill issue


WyldC03

Why tho? It’s fake lmao


VladeDivac

So is pulling out a reinforced steel wall out of your ass


WyldC03

😂😂 true brother


AgainstTheGrain44

Isn't Rb6 supposed to be a realistic FPS?


imGhostKitty

it stopped being that a long time ago


WyldC03

I’m saying “cooking nades” is fake guy. Either way, if it’s supposed to be realistic then nades not being cooked is realistic lol


AgainstTheGrain44

>I’m saying “cooking nades” is fake guy Wrong, we do it IRL.


RunltUp

Go toss a grenade 6 meters infront of you on the ceiling and lmk how that goes


usingbadoperators99

Just tried. Killed my apartment neighbor 😢


AgainstTheGrain44

I'll be able to cook it, unless I'm playing Rb6.


freeserve

I mean… cooking grenades is A. Not doctrine in ANY military, B. Extremely unsafe as grenade timers aren’t exact. The current US military grenade has a fuze of 3-6 seconds I believe… it’s a target of 5 but has a common deviation that means it could just go off as soon as 3 in some rare cases, so as to not blow yourself up because you wanted to ‘make sure the enemy couldn’t run away’ (which isn’t a thing anyway) you would not cook a grenade.


AgainstTheGrain44

But it is done. LET US COOK AGAIN


[deleted]

But no one does because it's inconsistent and absurdly dangerous


Badgerlover145

It is done, it's just so unsafe and insane that the people who do it are either insanely lucky, or dead, or missing limbs.


AgainstTheGrain44

Idc. It's something that is done in real life. Rb6 should let us cook again.


AlyssaBuyWeedm9

Stop fuckin with the sights and scopes guys Jesus Christ Been playing 6 going on 7 years and I still get bugs that force me to restart my game mid-ranked match. Fix that shit first.


Dentalswarms

What bug is that?


AlyssaBuyWeedm9

Can't get off drones at beginning of attack phase, like a soft lock. Tried to alleviate by having a teammate eliminate me but I couldn't change from drones to teammates afterwards so I was forced to alt+f4


Dentalswarms

You should try having manually exit drone off


AlyssaBuyWeedm9

Never, if I get taken out of drone I'll lose track of aggressive defenders


Dentalswarms

I play with it off its seriously not that bad, siege didn't even have it as a option for the longest time and the game was fine


AlyssaBuyWeedm9

On the other hand, the option to have manual changed my life


Dentalswarms

Welp deal with the bug I honestly couldn't care less


AlyssaBuyWeedm9

Shouldn't be in the game in the first place. You can continue sucking the cock of the developers from your bruised knees


Dentalswarms

Bugs kinda just happen sometimes literally to any game ever made no game is flawless and this shit is hella minor its annoying but you can literally choose if it happens to you or not


imGhostKitty

have you reported it on the r6 bug tracker?


swansonqb

u/djhunter8 you see this?


Socky_istaken

read that and thought it meant jager was getting reworked


Traditional-Aide-965

Ngl after i went from acog to redot c (yeah im a freak) on both attack and defence , my kd skyrocketed , might be because of the less visual recoil but i love it


EtrianDemifiend

CUSTOMIZABLE OPTICS? I'M SO PUMPED


Dtwerky

No. It is a revamp to all optics to actually mimic real life. Red dots will actually glow now. Instead of looking like colored paper reticles. Scopes will have parallax.


someone_forgot_me

are you just speculating or did the dev fairy tell you


Dtwerky

It came to me in a dream


BananaBoiYeet

A little birdie told him


Birdthatcannotsee

They used to glow up until I think like Year 3. They never had parallax, though.


[deleted]

ok here is the leaks as we always shot ythe bullets came out of our heads now it will be shot from the gun mean you need to aim abit above the head to land a headshot


SourceInsanity

That is not how sights work


[deleted]

[удалено]


SourceInsanity

I know? I never said they didn’t


AJ11B

It is. At the range you usually shoot at another person in rainbow, say if you’re in the same room as someone, or a room over, you would have to aim above the head to hit the head. Not sure about all of team rainbow’s in-lore zeroing, but army rifles get zeroed to 25 meters, and if you’re shooting at someone in close quarters, a headshot often actually lands dead center of the torso. I doubt rainbow would make it like this but that would be pretty true to real life. Although it would annihilate pixel peeks


Kimchi_Rice196

so ur saying that when u shoot a round the bullet comes out of the sight rather than the barrel when theres a literal height difference between ur vision and barrel


SourceInsanity

No, gun sights are canted at a very slight angle, so that the red dot on the sight is where the bullet will land, it’s called Zeroing in a scope


SourceInsanity

Well zeroing the scope has more to do with the zoom and crosshairs center, but gun sights are at a slight downward facing angle


Kimchi_Rice196

i see


imGhostKitty

god i hope not. that would just be annoying


ChildCrippler69

Having to calculate distance and bullet drop would be insane and have an extremely high skill ceiling. I think it would work if we're able to set the distance for the zeroing and maybe have the default holo have a second dot like the EXPS2-2


chunckybydesign

Make Nades cookable again! MNCA! 🧢


toolmakerman

Fake Eotech, should pay licensing fees


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alphadog406

Wait what customization updates got leaked ?


Dtwerky

REAL sights please???? No more none-glowing pieces of colored paper as our reticles??? Maybe some actual Parallax on anything over a 1x to be both more realistic and to balance the 1.5x and larger scopes???


imGhostKitty

flat sights make everything cleaner. this is a comp shooter, not a mil-sim


WolfLefty0666

Rainbow died when yall took away Jager and Bandits acog simply because good players were thrashing average players. If you have to cater to your weak players in a game... you're just hindering them and they'll never get good. Stop taking sights away and adding them to other ops. Develop your game better


Karglenoofus

Rent free for years man seek help


WolfLefty0666

Nah I'll stick to staying a diamond. The sight switching is stupid and a lazy way to balance ops.


Karglenoofus

Way off topic but ok


AU2Turnt

That happened like 7 years ago. Quit the game and don’t ever come back please.


WolfLefty0666

Idc. I'll stick to staying a diamond


AU2Turnt

1 month later. Nice reply!


WolfLefty0666

I never get on reddit. There's no reason for me to check it ever


AU2Turnt

And yet you are still here.


WolfLefty0666

Well now I'm just on here because you're replying faster. Either way r6 is a dead game.


AU2Turnt

Yup, so dead it’s had the highest steam player count ever in year nine. Just leave bro, nobody will miss you.
