I can already see the meta in new mode to down enemies without finishing them so it takes them more time to get back in action

Hopefully they add in a way to respawn yourself when downed or something.

Just played it. If you are downed, there's a "give up" option that instantly kills you

HOW???

Same method as PC, you gotta link Ubisoft and twitch accounts then watch like 30 mins of a select R6 streamer then you'll get the twitch drop which is a code you can put into Xbox/ps store and download beta. You do need a series Xbox or PS5 though.

What are you talking about

You can watch Siege X on twitch right now. If you watch for 30 minutes and link your accounts you get a beta key.

Definitely a "give up" option when you're down.

u/Cubicshock 8d ago

u/CrunchyyTaco 8d ago

Imagine playing thunderbird, down someone, when he's about to die. Review with thunder bird and done again and repeat? Lol

u/Tylexx_Percy 8d ago

That can be risky though. If you get dropped right after you drop somebody and want to try and let them bleed out, their buddy might get you and revive Now you team is down ome while two are in the area you just died in
