Ubisoft's shooter Rainbow Six: Siege is receiving a mid-season patch today, and the patch notes have been detailed over on the game's website, revealing some big changes.
Firstly, operator Glaz is getting changed, or more specifically, his flip sight is. "The biggest change to Glaz's Flip Sight is the addition of a thermal visual feedback when ADS'ing through the scope," Ubisoft explains. "This will make defenders really pop when they come into view. It should be noted that this will not work through walls; the visual feedback will only appear when your opponent comes into view. However, the scope will outline your opponents even through smoke grenades, Capitão's micro smoke grenades, and Smoke's gas canisters. This should make things more interesting for Glaz in close quarters."
Another big addition is Technical Test Servers, which "is one of the first systems we're deploying to raise the quality of health in Rainbow Six Siege. Deploying in the weeks following the Mid-Season Reinforcements Patch, this test environment will focus on specific technical systems we want to introduce to the game. The first of these is the One-Step Matchmaking, which was mentioned at the Six Invitational and is a new approach to our matchmaking to make it more stable. More information on the Technical Test Server, and One-Step Matchmaking will be provided in the upcoming weeks."
Also, new Elite Skins will be added alongside this update, like Twitch's Maquis set, altering the design of offensive drones, along with other packages for Twitch that "explore unique facets of history."
All the changes, including minor tweaks, can be viewed over on the website in full. Do the changes to Glaz sound reasonable?
