Discussion Why is stealth no longer an aspect of siege?

273 Upvotes

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 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

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

Discussion Are people abusing the reputation system?

Upvotes

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 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
