For the subsequent two weeks, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is swapping out hostages and bombs for safeboxes filled with… nicely it doesn’t really say what they’re filled with. I think about it’s cash, or gold, or one thing that old-timey English gangsters like, as a result of it’s all a part of the Grand Larceny occasion, impressed by 1920s British mobs.
Ubisoft have reimagined the previous Hereford map to create a mobster hideout for a model new game mode, The Stolen Goods. In it, gamers might want to defend their fortunes towards attackers who know precisely the place to look to nab that loot.
That’s not the one twist to this new mode. Operators gained’t be going into these fights with their regular loadouts, as an alternative they’ll have nowt however a trusty shotgun to get the job performed. The builders have performed away with the preparation section, too – no drones within the 1920s I’m afraid.
Oh additionally, you know the way while you blow up the ground or ceiling, there are all the time metallic beams beneath holding every thing collectively? Well, seeing as this can be a hundred year-old constructing you’ll be battling in, these metallic bars aren’t there anymore. Will you be a sneaky attacker and shoot at your enemies from beneath? Or a mischievous defender and depart just a few pitfall traps on your assailants? You resolve!
Other than that, matches are pretty normal guidelines: 5v5, defenders win by murdering attackers, attackers win by murdering defenders or finishing the target (which on this case is opening a sure quantity safeboxes).
Almost all of the operators are unlocked for this occasion, bar just a few like Twitch, IQ, and others that don’t fairly slot in with the game mode. Ubisoft don’t give a purpose for this, however it looks like loads of operators that use notably hi-tech tools have been omitted.
Most of the characters which are concerned, nonetheless, are getting some pretty art-deco type cosmetics. You’ll have the ability to seize these by means of Grand Larceny packs which will be earned by doing occasion challenges, or you should purchase them for 300 R6 Credits (the game’s premium foreign money) or 12,500 Renown.
The Grand Larceny occasion runs from in the present day till May 19th, and you may try the event page for more information.
