Perestroika posted:So I've recently started playing ranked a bit more (Silver represent It's like that and it decreases with how many matches you play, since the more you play, the more the game assumes you're at "your optimal rank". At the end of the season those 100 rank points turn into a measly 40 per game, up or down. It does give you a bit more if you win against high skilled opponents, but I've surfed the whole Gold rank more then once now, and it's hard to hit someone outside of Gold there. I guess that it just has the most players.

Also, OP,  PUT SOME SIRENS AROUND THAT PART OF THE OP ABOUT THE STARTER EDITION Also that part about everything being buyable with Renown is a lie - there are some skins that are locked behind R6 credits in the shop and can't be bought otherwise. But those are just some silly weapon skins, not operator hats.Have some art for your trouble:

Perestroika posted:It depends on the map. On some maps there are ways to circle around and shoot the attackers in the side or back while they're queued up around the windows. A prime example for that is Clubhouse, where both of the upper-story objective locations give you a prime field of fire on the outside windows of the other, particularly if you have some explosives to open up a wall: https://www.r6maps.com/#club/2/all. On Skyscraper or Border you may be able to hop out onto the balconies and take them in the flank, too, though that can be quite risky if they're attentive. Some objective locations also simply just don't suit themselves all too well for roaming, precisely because there aren't many good flanking options available. In those cases, your best bet might be to just sit just a little ways away from the objective room and open up a new line of fire from an unexpected angle once the attackers make their move. And then you get Theme Park, where your teammates can't hold the 2 windows leading into drug lab (and bathroom) while you roam in trains and suddenly it's a 1v5 and they're capping  I hate that map and it should have left the ranked map pool when Tower was released.

Jack Trades posted:Can someone who plays Starter Edition tell me if they have an option to unlock original operators via a bundle R6 coins/real money, the same way you have a bundle to unlock all Year1/Year2 operators? No, there is no such bundle, but you can buy operators separately for 300 R6 Credits per operator, and you get 600 for buying the starter. There will never be a bundle/upgrade pack/hotfix for the Starter Edition and it's a deliberate decision made by Ubisoft. Basically DON'T EVER BUY THE STARTER EDITION To drive this point a bit into the ground, when you buy the Starter, you get to unlock up to 4 operators, but every other operator costs 12 500 Renown or 25 000 Renown each. If you fork up the cash for the Standard edition, you don't get any operators at the start, but you can unlock all the basic operators with only 25 000 Renown (gradually unlocking them one by one), however the DLC ops are still 25 000 each. As a side note, on any version if you are new to the game you should go into the "Play" tab, click the Tutorials and watch every video - it gives you 200 renown per video, and provides some very basic info on how tyo do stuff. You should also launch the uPlay overlay (Shift + F2), go into "Club Rewards" and find two things - EDIT: Additional info - if you played during the free weekend and got to unlock some operators, that progress WILL NOT BE SAVED ON THE STARTER EDITION, but will be on the Standard Edition.

Abisteen posted:I bought this game a while back during either a steam sale or a night drinking but never really gave it a shot. The thread title made me laugh, however, and made me want to give the game a try. Good starter operators to buy: Ash, Sledge, Thermite on attack, Rook, Mute, Smoke on defense and Kapkan if you learn the maps a bit. The DLC operators (those that cost 25000 renown) require a bit more map/game knowledge, but it'll be a while till you grind one. When buying ops don't forget to buy scopes for their weapons! There's no need to wait before playing with goons, just say you're new.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Reminder that callouts of any kind used to be heard by both sides. IQ finding it if it runs on batteries being one of the most infamous ones actually. It still happens, I've heard enemy operators talk about reloading more the once over my time of playing Siege. Deltasquid posted:It depends on distance, I think. So e.g. if you are right next to Sledge when he breaks a window, you'll hear him whisper, but a teammate on the opposite end of the map will hear him shout. I don't think it depends on distance when you say them IQ alternates between whispers and extreme yelling in first person, now that's hillarous.

Jack Trades posted:Lootboxes suck rear end but...it's just cosmetics, who gives a poo poo. Given how much of this game is peek combat, relying on intel and spotting people... everyone? This is not a game like Rocket League where everyone has a bright neon over their head so you know where they are at all time. This is a violent game of hide and seek and visibility and being able to identify what's and enemy and what's map-junk is a huge gameplay mechanic. You gently caress with that, you are loving with the gameplay. How many people threw themselves on the black uniforms when they came out, cause they gave you a bit of an advantage on characters like Frost or IQ? Cause I am seeing a lot more black uniforms then before. My point is - in Siege, visibility = gameplay, so the cosmetics gently caress with gameplay just a little bit.

https://rainbow6.ubisoft.com/siege/en-gb/news/detail.aspx WELCOME CHIMERA (it's a sneak peek). quote:Biological and chemical attacks are growing threats to Operators. Six created the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Threat Unit. CBRN is its own distinct CTU. The following two experts know what they’re doing and they’ll never turn their backs on a hotzone. These two new operators are joining the multiplayer roster and will also be playable in the limited time Outbreak event, along with other legacy operators. So it's a new fake CTU, with two ops from France and Russia, and traditionally, one is female: https://www.instagram.com/p/BelNORennL5/ My guess it's another defender drone, maybe automatic, and the other one gets dissolvable floors.

Eh. Going into the hard sci-fi direction with HEALING NANOBOTS isn't something I'd expect this season, I was kinda hoping that the Outbreak event will contain all the bullshit and we're back to realism with the operators, with tripwires or something like that. The Spear does look like if the XM-8 Fishgun was a bullpup which is a weird-rear end design, while I can't say no to a Drum Mag Vector.

Tumble posted:Clearly the Australian defender would just put spiders all over the loving place. Or could use a spider-suit to stick to walls and cealings. I mean if magnet boots were on the next attacker, I'd be cool with that. Limited use, but only drains if you walk, meaning you can't go to extremely high places like main lobby ceiling in Bank, but you can pretend to be Batman in other places forever. Fall damage still applies, unless you land exactly on someone, then he gets full damage and you get half.

Thief posted:giving ash a trajectory to calculate but making her grenades explode on impact would be just as good as when kapkans tripmines were reduced damage but had their lasers removed. in a way its a nerf but it adds to the character in a way that makes playing them more interesting. the slight dig-delay on the current one has saved many defender lives I actually prefer the dig delay on Ash's launcher cause it means I get a while after shooting to switch to my main gun. With Zofia I always feel so exposed when I blast a wall, cause if I don't kill whatever's behind it, I'm stuck holding my gadget and not my gun, most likely meaning I'm dead.

So there are two things that appear to be unmentioned but they are present on the TTS. First is that all operator icons had a visual overhaul, making them higher contrast. A good change and it makes the CTUs more distinct from one another.  The second is that now when opening skins, the recruit icon is there as well, so maybe recruits are getting attachments this year.

Well after Outbreak drops, when you buy an operator you'll get all the weapon sights, grips and underbarrel stuff for free, and there's no word confirming that there'll be refunds for people who bought any of that stuff prior to the update. So there's one incentive to wait.

Guys, in case you're even playing outbreak, but have trouble with the big loving rushing Tank thing, fret no more - if you manage to fool him into rushing in a wall, you can run up to his back and smack his poo poo with melee. Now you probably knew this - but, if like me and every single one of my friends had trouble doing so, the reason might be simple - you CANNOT use any other button than "v" to hit the Smasher with your knife. So if you remapped that to say, any of your mouse thumb buttons and got 200 hours of muscle memory that melee is "mouse 4", you might be having some problems. Especially since the prompt will show your mapped melee button, but the game won't accept anything other then "v"
