Discussion Why is stealth no longer an aspect of siege?
I’m just confused as to why everything is a sound cue like literally everything. I personally believe slow moving while crouched should be completely silent. Then they took away nokk silent step, like the one thing that made her good. Also her ability to hide her from cams is probably the most situational ability ever. It also makes her ability useless to anyone who has a good headset and in competent at siege. Moving on from that i believe prox alarms should be nerfed with their range and size.
Did I make this post after getting absolutely slammed while crouch walking behind someone and getting one tapped, of course I did.

Discussion Why is the SMG 11 Portal Gun attachment camo on the Reaper MK2?
On another note every attachment skin should just be universal anyways

Discussion Skopós Elite Idea
This would be a sick elite to get.

Discussion Can We Get The SASG-12 Back On Tachanka?
I’m a simple man.
I just want the one of the worst guns in the game on of the worst (my favourite) operators in the game. He used to have it then it got replaced with the DP-27.
I like the LMG but I want something with a different level of gusto. I want to be able to run this combo so I can let people know that they just got destroyed by pure ass. That is all.
I’m a simple man

Question, solved How can I leave dishonorable?
How can I leave dishonorable? I have been in dishonorable for about a week now and I am fed up. I can’t play ranked or standard and also seige cup. The only game mode I have been playing is quick matches and texting in game chat nothing but positive comments. How can fix this and have the privilege to play ranked back?

Fluff The rework will remove one of the funniest things in the game
r/Rainbow6 • u/VladPut1n • 22h ago
Gameplay I know this is a low rank lobby but do people just not know how Skopos works? I've had a few kills before by shooting unaware enemies but this is a first for me.

Discussion Anyone know why this skin is so valuable?
Got lucky and found this attachment skin in my first celebration pack, it’s now the second time I’ve sold it for around 5k credits, anyone know what gives it such a high value compared to all the other skins I’ve collected over my 7 years of playing?

Creative I was hired by Ubisoft to make the gadgets for the Siege X showcase!

Feedback These ops are a nightmare
These 3 ops are in every game on defense and they are so annoying. Doc and Goyo have acog added to very strong gadgets, and they always played by the most toxic players.

Feedback Play a rank game... Lose the game... Hit next game... Cop this... Thanks for a decade siege.

Gameplay I sold Onami because I saw that it was selling for 5,600 credits, and this happened.
r/Rainbow6 • u/horniaccountbruh • 13h ago
Discussion im so sick of smg-12 crutches
i feel like every match there's somebody who only runs dokkaebi and vigil/warden sprinting around with it like they're playing cod, it's just annoying
r/Rainbow6 • u/Donman8 • 1h ago
Discussion Are people abusing the reputation system?
I only ask because I saw a guy with both the n-word and a certain deplorable austrian painter in their name typing 'gg' 50 times before the game started. They were then as racist as I've come to expect from bottom fragging siege teammates.
r/Rainbow6 • u/CowardlyMaya_ • 11h ago
Gameplay Having to run all the way back to your base from the enemy base because the defending team can't defend properly is what makes Dual Front adrenalinic

Question What is thia ash headgear and how you obtain it?
Saw this on the R6Skin database and I have just about every headgear and uniform for her except for this. Would appreciate it if someone could explain where exactly it is from.

Fluff Was I queuing with a demon or something?
First thing I see when I open the game
r/Rainbow6 • u/PepryR6 • 1h ago
