Containmentイベントは楽しい体験でした。パラサイトが周囲のすべてを汚染し、「レインボーシックス」オペレーターの姿に擬態したのです。REACTチームは各部屋を進み、ネストを破壊していきました。激しい戦いが繰り広げられました。

あれから数年が経ち、プロティアンが再び現れました。舞台はアビジャン、夜の領事館です。そして今回は陣営を選択できます。REACTオペレーター（攻撃側）としてプレイする場合は、エリアに潜入し、ネストを見つけて無力化することが任務となり、汚染されたプロティアン（防御側）としてプレイする場合は、ネストを守り、REACTチームを倒さなければなりません。

恐怖、不安、戦慄の時を再び味わいましょう。これは滅多にない機会です。

これまでプレイ可能だった22名のオペレーターに加え、今回はREACTチームにZofiaとHibana、プロティアン側に汚染されたBanditとMozzieが加わります。プロティアンは近接攻撃しか使えませんが、ダメージ耐性が強化されており、マップを素早く移動できる特殊能力も持っています。

新しいContainmentコレクションをチェックし、Hibana、Mozzie、Zofia、Bandit用の期間限定ユニフォーム、ヘッドギア、武器コスメティックなどを手に入れましょう。新たにContainmentシグネチャーパックも登場し、全オペレーターが利用できる限定のドローンスキン、チャーム、オールラウンドウェポンスキンが手に入ります！


加えて、2021 Containmentコレクションからセットが復活し、再び手に入るようになります。以前に、人気のAruniラベージセットを見逃してしまった方は、今こそ入手するチャンスです！


また、イベント期間中にゲームに接続し、無料のコレクションパックを忘れずに手に入れて、レジェンダリースキンを獲得するチャンスを掴みましょう！

あなたは恐ろしいキメラパラサイトを止められるのか… それとも拡散を許してしまうのでしょうか？

「レインボーシックス シージ」待望のYear 9シーズン1が、胸躍るアップデートや新機能を引っ提げてついに登場。

シリーズ史上初となるヴィランオペレーター「Deimos」が加入します。Deimosの「DeathMARK」で敵を追い詰めましょう。DeathMARKは指定したターゲットとDeimosの位置を一定時間もしくはどちらかが排除されるまで露わにする飛行型の探査機です。

それだけではありません。すべてのプレイヤーに公平かつ、やりがいのあるゲーム体験を保証するために、プレイヤーの保護にフォーカスしたチート対策の強化とランクの制限を導入しました。

アタッチメントとADS（エイム）が、タクティカルなゲームプレイが促進されるようにアップグレードされました。サイトは、アイアンサイト、（x1）、（x2.5）、（x3.5）の4つのカテゴリーに再編成され、アイアンサイトと（x1）のサイトにはADSボーナスが付与されます。他のアタッチメントも大幅にアップデートされていますので、射撃練習場で存分にお試しください！

シールドは、よりバランスの取れた没入感を実現するため、完全に刷新されます。シールド使用中は腰撃ちができなくなる代わりに、耐久力フル状態のバリケードを突破、近接で相手を押しのけ、ダッシュ、リロード、ガジェットの起動、フリールックが可能になりました。

待望のインベントリ管理メニューがついに導入されます！このメニューを利用すれば、コスメティックのコレクションの確認や、オペレーターのカスタマイズがより便利かつ効率的になります。コスメティックから装備まで、かつてないほどシームレスなギアの管理が可能になりました。

さらに、Year 9シーズン1では、訓練やレベルアップのためのツールがさらに充実します。VS AIモードにはマップが5つ、オペレーターが6名追加され、AIもアップデート。訓練プレイリストにもマップが4つ追加されます。

ゲームのベテランであろうとニューカマーであろうと、今シーズンはすべてのプレイヤーに向けたアクションが満載です。

今シーズンもプレミアムバトルパスで入手可能な限定リワードを用意していますので忘れずにチェックしましょう！Deimosの即時解除、18個のブラボーパック、600 R6クレジット還元、ストアでの10%割引などを含む6,000 R6クレジット相当のコンテンツをお楽しみください！

YEAR 9シーズン1「Operation Deadly Omen」とともに「レインボーシックス シージ」の歴史に新たな1ページを刻みましょう。

In this latest edition of Designer's Notes, we'll go into detail about the balancing changes that'll come with the Y8S4.2 Update and give you some insight into the reasons behind them.

Please note that we are using presence to gauge the popularity of an Operator. This notion had to be introduced to reflect the implementation of the pick & ban.

Presence definition: pick rate of an Operator when not banned. Win Delta: The Win Delta is aggregated from Operator's Win Deltas per Bomb Site.


KIBA BARRIER

• Barriers have 999hp.
  
• Barriers are vulnerable to bullet damage.
  
• The damage dealt to the barriers depends on the weapons' caliber or destruction output.

Azami has reinvented the way to defend some sites and have made others viable or at least more comfortable for defenders. Her ability to reshape the map is something that has changed Siege forever. But in a lot of situations, her ability requires too much from attackers or creates unfair situations.

They can be placed in locations that are impossible to reach with melees or extremely risky to approach. Additionally, explosives as the only reliable way to counter them makes her very taxing for Attackers and limits their flexibility to pick operators with non-explosive utility. Repeatedly destroying placed barriers is tedious and frustrating for attackers, even more so if you have used explosives to deal with them.

To try and solve those problems, we tested several options that were later discarded:

- Soft: The idea was to allow bullets to go through the barrier. This turned the barriers into an indestructible soft wall, which was interesting, and fixed some nasty pixel peeks that are unchallengeable for attackers. It also mitigated the urgency to destroy them, therefore the resources required, as you could pre-fire through them to inhibit the defender from using them. But we considered that this took away too much of the Kiba Barrier's identity.

- Lifespan: In this prototype, the barriers would only last for a specific time and then they would auto-destroy. The main problem with this version was that Attackers didn't have any authority or a new way to deal with them besides waiting, and it wasn't a fun interaction.

Finally, we decided that adding a new way to destroy them from a distance was the best approach, so the barriers keep their essence, and Attackers have more options. Kiba Barriers will now be vulnerable to bullets. They will take damage and get destroyed when their life is down to 0. As they are similar to walls, the damage received will be affected by the weapon caliber, so high caliber weapons, such as DMRs or LMGs, will destroy the barriers faster, while lower caliber weapons, such as Handguns or SMGs, will require more bullets.

All the other ways to destroy the barriers will remain the same, so a single explosion or 3 melee hits will also do the job. However, you can combine them, so hitting them twice and then shooting at them from a safer location is possible.

FINKA
ADRENAL SURGE
Weapon reload speed increase bonus removed.
Clears the shields' Suppressive Fire debuff. Reduces its effect by 50% if applied while affected by Adrenal Surge.
We have removed the weapon reload bonus from the Adrenal Surge to make the bonus on the new Angled Grip more appealing. Without speeding-up the animations and with the possibility of both effects stacking, the new attachment wasn't as impactful as we wanted.

GENERAL

• New classes: Revolver, Sniper Rifle, Slug Shotgun.

LIGHT MACHINE GUNS

• Movement speed reduced by 10%.

ADS TRANSITION

• Normalized and simplified ADS curve transitions:
  
• Fast: Handguns, Revolvers, Shotguns.
  
• Medium: Marksman Rifles, Sniper Rifles.
  
• Slow: Machine Pistols, Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles, Light Machine Guns, Slug Shotguns.

ADS SPEED

• Reduced ADS speed from idle/walk stances:
  
• Handgun: 240ms (from 200).
  
• Revolver: 240ms (from 200).
  
• Machine Pistol: 380ms (from 280).
  
• Submachine Gun: 460ms (from 300).
  
• Assault Rifle: 520ms (from 400).
  
• Light Machine Gun: 560ms (from 450).
  
• Marksman Rifle: 520ms (from 400).
  
• Sniper Rifle: 520ms (from 400).
  
• Shotgun: 340ms (from 250).
  
• Slug Shotgun: 520ms (from 400).
  
• Hand Cannon: 240ms (from 200).
  
• Reduced ADS speed from sprint (same proportion).
  
• Launchers are also affected. The ADS Speed depends on their type of sight.

With the goal of increasing players' options, weapon customization, and accessibility, we have taken a look at all the weapons in the game and normalized their configuration according to their class. We have cleared all the exceptions and strange mixes, such as the Commando 9 that was a mix of AR-SMG and is now 100% an AR, so everyone will know what to expect from a weapon just by checking its class but while the classes are new the gameplay hasn't changed.

We have also taken a deeper look at the LMG class. We nerfed them significantly last year to address the LMG-meta, but now we can bring them back. Along with tweaks to specific weapons that are listed below, we are going to add a movement penalty to the whole class to compensate for their magazine capacity.

Clearing all the fundamentals has allowed us to expand on the Weapon Attachments System by adding new attachments and new types of bonuses, as you will see below.

The current speed makes peeking a corner too advantageous, entering danger should be properly judged and have risks. Therefore, we have reduced the ADS speed across all weapons. The new timings aim to reduce the strength of fast-peeking and return some advantage to holding an angle or repositioning. Additionally, we have simplified what determines the precision from hip fire to aiming down sights, leaving only 3 typologies:

-Fast: Most of the precision is gained during the initial part of the transition (antilogarithmic). You can shoot with relatively good precision during the aiming animation.
-Medium: The precision is increased at a constant pace (linear).
-Slow: Most of the precision is gained during the final part of the transition (logarithmic). During the animation, it is more likely to still miss some shots on the target because it takes longer to transition from hip fire accuracy to ADS

Category: No sight.

• Magnification: 1.0x.
  
• Added +10% ADS speed bonus.

Category: Non-magnifying.

• Magnification: 1.0x.
  
• Added +5% ADS speed bonus.

Category: Magnifying.

• Magnification: ~2.5x.
  
• Attackers' distribution:
  
• Available on every weapon.
  
• Defenders' distribution:
  
• 9mm C1: Frost.
  
• P10 Roni: Mozzie.
  
• 9x19SVN: Tachanka.
  
• ACS12: Alibi, Maestro, Azami.
  
• AR-15.50: Tubarao.
  
• BOSG.12.2: Vigil.
  
• Mk 14 ERB: Aruni.
  
• MP5K: Wamai.
  
• MP5: Doc, Melusi, Rook.
  
• P90: Doc, Rook.
  
• TCSG12: Goyo, Kaid.
  
• UMP45: Castle.
  
• UZK50GI: Thorn.
  
• Vector .45 ACP: Goyo.

Category: Magnifying.

• Magnification: ~3.5x.
  
• Available only on Attacking DMRs.

• Increased middle dot size:
  
• Holo A.
  
• Holo C.
  
• Red Dot C.
  
• Magnified A.
  
• Reduced middle dot size:
  
• Holo B.
  
• Magnified C.

A few years ago, using the sight with the highest magnification was the way to go, now the 1.5x is the default. We want sight selection to be an important decision based on your strategy for the round. So, we have reworked the entire attachment category.

First off, we have made an existing option more meaningful. The "None" sight option is now Iron Sight and has a category, No Sight. You will aim faster if you choose Iron Sights, its shape will depend on the weapon, so there is a wide variety of options to explore and test if they fit your play style.

Secondly, we have the Non-Magnifying category, which includes all the attachable sights without magnification. This is a category you already know and is where you can find the Red Dot, Holographic, and Reflex sights. This category will also have an ability, and similarly No Sight, they will increase your ADS speed but with a lower percentage as they are generally more comfortable to use. We have also detected a couple of reticles that were slightly better than the rest, so we have re-balanced them.

Finally, we have reorganized all the Magnifying scopes. There are fewer magnifications, making the choice and differences between each one more meaningful. We have kept only two, now called Magnified and Telescopic. For each scope type, you will have a few options to choose depending on which one is more comfortable for you. We have also tweaked the Magnified A and C reticles, so the options are balanced.

The Magnifying scopes' distribution has also changed. We believe that now every sight has its pros and cons, so we can be less restrictive with their distribution:

- The Magnified will be available on every Assault Rifle, Submachine Gun, Light Machine Gun, Marksman Rifle, and Slug Shotgun in Attack.
- The Magnified will be available on every Slug Shotgun, Marksman Rifle, and in some designated Submachine Gun in Defense (listed above).
- The Telescopic will be available on every Marksman Rifle in Attack.
All the changes listed here, will create a lot of possibilities and many new scenarios. This is a new beginning for the weapon attachments system. We are happy with the current proposal, but we will monitor everything closely and continue making adjustments if needed in future patches.

• Removed Hip Fire bonus.
  
• Added +10% ADS speed bonus.
  
• The Laser bonus has changed to ADS speed.

Now that we are tweaking the ADS speed across all the weapons, we didn't want to have this bonus limited to only those with access to grips. The laser has been available on almost every weapon since Y6S3.0, so everyone can use it and benefit from its ability.

Additionally, the Laser has the downside of revealing your presence, so it made sense to pair it with one of the most aggressive bonuses.

• Removed ADS speed bonus.
  
• Added +20% weapon reload speed.

• The "None" option is now called "Horizontal Grip".
  
• Added +5% movement speed bonus.

• Bonus reduced to +20% vertical recoil control (from +25%).

We have added a new option, the Horizontal Grip. Just as with the Iron Sight, it is a rework of the "None" grip option into a viable and meaningful choice. It will grant you extra mobility. Bear in mind that we are not making any operator move faster than they currently can, this attachment only allows you to move at the "handgun" speed but with your primary weapon, at the cost of sacrificing the other grip bonuses.

The Angled Grip has also been reworked, and now grants Weapon Reload speed, an exciting bonus for those weapons that need to reload often or have long animations.

Silencers and Extended Barrels have been more popular since their respective reworks, so we have also reduced the recoil control bonus of the Vertical Grip, making equipping them a tougher decision.

Only weapons with access to the Grips section can make use of these options. By default, they are unavailable, and you must equip the attachment to get the ability. As an example, the MP5K doesn't have the Vertical Grip bonus, and the F2 doesn't have the Horizontal Grip bonus.


Movement:

• Every operator equipped with a Ballistic Shield will keep it in front while sprinting.
  
• An operator equipped with a Ballistic Shield can push through a barricade without having to hit them twice. Does not work from rappel.

Weapon handling:

• The ability to hip fire has been removed.
  
• Reduced accuracy during the shield unequip animation.
  
• During the ADS animation with a shield, the weapon will not shoot until it is pointing forward.
  
• Reduced ADS time to 0.5 seconds walking and 0.55 seconds sprinting (from 0.6 both).
  
• The reload animation is performed behind the shield.
  
• The reload will now be triggered automatically when the weapon runs out of bullets.

Melee:

• New defensive melee animation.
  
• The melee now deals pushback and 65hp damage (from 100% DBNO).
  
• New gadget throw animation from behind the shield (the animation will arrive in a later update).
  
• New gadget trigger animation from behind the shield.
  
• The Ballistic Shield remains equipped while escorting the Hostage.
  
• Touching fire will trigger the guard break with 40% intensity (same as electricity).

*Please note: The "Freelook Throw" animation has been disabled temporarily and will be fixed in a later update. *

• Can hold the FREE LOOK button to check your surroundings while keeping the Ballistic Shield aiming forward.
  
• Can throw gadgets towards the direction you are looking.

• The operator will be suppressed if the Ballistic Shield receives too many bullet impacts.
  
• Trigger: 10 bullets.
  
• Maximum intensity: 40 bullets.
  
• Fall off: 7 seconds.
  
• While suppressed, the operator cannot sprint.
  
• While suppressed, the visibility is reduced according to the effect's intensity.

• Blitz
  
• Fuze
  
• Montagne
  
• Clash (only suppressive fire)

We have reimagined the mechanics around the ballistic shields in the game. Focusing on the shield being safer to use and support orientated at range as well as more threatening in close quarters. This will allow shield ops to take ground, provide more intel and control combat engagements with greater efficiency.

This update also helps realign our ballistic shields to follow two core Siege design principles:

1. To be lethal with a gun, you need to be vulnerable.
   
2. Actions from Player's direct input are not to be randomized. They are to be deliberate, consistent and reliable.

Removing the hip fire feature from the ballistic shields serves these principles.

Like all other weapons and equipment, it is our goal to make sure every item in our operator's armories has a role and is viable when deployed with creative strategies and teamplay. We will be monitoring these changes and bringing more updates to our shields in the future.

• Reduced vertical recoil.
  
• The recoil will remain stable for longer during a sustained fire burst.

The LMG-E's recoil is one of the hardest to control in R6, especially if the player tries to empty its magazine without releasing the trigger. We've seen how this weapon's popularity and performance has decreased during the last few seasons, and that is why we want to make the recoil less challenging for players. The new Movement Speed Reduction for the LMG Class allows us to employ meaningful changes. That said, due to its huge magazine and high rate of fire, the LMG-E recoil will still be one of the hardest to control within the LMG Class.

PC & Console

• Reduced first kick.
  
• Reduced vertical recoil.
  
• Reduced lateral recoil.
  
• The recoil will remain stable for longer during a sustained fire burst.

Today, we'll share what our Player Protection team is doing to reinforce our anti-cheat and security systems, in order to protect the player experience.

We recently acknowledged [x.com]the increased frustration that players have felt lately regarding cheating. It is clear that the landscape of cheating in Siege is evolving. For example, the QB System on PC is directly impacting cheat creation by making new cheats more difficult to create. It has been extremely successful in shaking up the cheating ecosystem with some cheat providers leaving or shutting down. However, new solutions and additional security measures can often act as double-edged swords; we deter less experienced cheat makers, but those that are well implanted will work harder to release new functional and undetectable cheats. This is why fighting cheats is a continuous endeavor.

We've now made a concentrated push to guarantee the necessary resources that Siege needs, and as part of this, we have created a special task force. We call this task force our Strike Team, supporting Player Protection with anti-cheat and security in Siege. This strike team has brought experts from multiple fields together in order to accelerate our ability to fine tune our anti-cheat solutions and target the most prolific cheats head-on.

We know that there are undetected cheats and gameplay exploits currently live in the game which are leading to a deteriorated gameplay experience. This is why we've implemented a strike team to tackle some of the most problematic cheats and exploits currently working in the game. It's crucial however that we not only react to cheats but also work to make cheat creation more difficult, and to this end our strike team has also been working on adding further encryptions throughout the game.

We've addressed a number of cheats over the recent months with updates going live with Y8S4.3.

ADDRESSED CHEATS & EXPLOITS

• Various navigation cheats.
  
• Various shooting-related cheats.
  
• Various griefing cheats.
  
• Various drone-related cheats.

As well as this, we've identified a prevalent cheat provider which led to a large ban wave and contributed to over 9,000 cheaters banned in January 2024, and 10,000 bans within a rolling 30-day period.

Let's take a look at some of our anti-cheat and security systems, how they're working for us now, and what we're doing moving forward.

To start with, we want to assure you that our anti-cheat solutions are always active and are only ever temporarily disabled to resolve issues which could affect our ability to protect legitimate players. Once resolved the affected system is then reactivated.

We do not deactivate our security or anti-cheat measures such as the QB System or MouseTrap for any prolonged amount of time, with BattlEye always remaining active.

WORKAROUNDS
In Year 8, we fixed a number of workarounds that were enabling spoofers to avoid or reduce their chances of detection, though we are aware that some players are still able to avoid the full effects of our system. We are working hard to counter these remaining workarounds and we are confident that you'll see further reductions in spoofing soon.

EFFECTIVENESS
MouseTrap continues to find, track, and penalize players who use mouse and keyboard on console through the use of spoofing devices and has remained active and effective throughout Year 8. The usage of spoofing devices which saw a drop on the release of MouseTrap has continued to trend at this lower rate since its release. Our data also shows that players do swap to controller if viable MouseTrap workarounds are not available, making a better experience for everyone.

MOUSETRAP UPDATES
We are currently investigating new solutions to detect more types of spoofing adapters, and we've recently pushed an update to MouseTrap to further increase its effectiveness while ramping up its effects.

In this update we have:

• Optimized our detection thresholds to identify more mouse and keyboard players on console.
  
• Fined-tuned maximum latency penalties setting for the remainder of the season.

These changes will allow MouseTrap to detect even more players who are using mouse and keyboard on console, while adding high latency sooner.

As well as this, we are currently implementing additional in-game warning feedback for detected players and are developing an additional MouseTrap feature which will help to further level out the playing field. This feature will have a further positive impact on the match-to-match experience of console players. We will share more information on this important update during the Six Invitational.

At its core, the purpose of the QB System is to make cheat creation more tedious, difficult, and costly, creating an unfavorable environment for cheat creators and sellers. QB is also beneficial when it comes to bans, having the ability to detect those who attempt to bypass it. We've already seen cheat creators giving up on Siege due to the increased effort that is now required for basic cheat development. It's made waves in the cheat market while having a great impact on Siege.

After the successful launch of the QB System however, it became clear that we did not have the right long-term support in place that was required to ensure the system's continued effectiveness. We've now changed our approach and have committed to regular updates for the QB System going forward.

We are now developing new iterations which will be coming in Year 9, and in the meantime, we continue to fine-tune and further strengthen this innovative security system. QB is a solid system for Siege, and we're making sure that it's receiving the resources needed in order to maximize its performance.

We're excited to share more information on our advancements with the QB System later this year.

BANS NUMBERS

Here we have our latest ban data, covering the last 3 months. We can see that while we had over 9,000 bans in January, the previous month of December was less successful in terms of detections and bans. This was due to new blatant cheats becoming available, most of which were not detectable during December, resulting in fewer bans and increased frustration for players. With our team focused on the cheats that are being used right now, we aim to see similar results to January in the near future.

DATA BANS
Since their introduction, Data Bans have been a great success for Siege, finding illegitimate players that weren't already being found by our systems working at the forefront. However, we fully recognize that there is room for improvement, with some high stat cheaters remaining undetected.

Our goal with Data Bans is to ensure that we can find as many cheaters as possible while continuing to protect our honest players. At the moment, we are working to refine our data models by making use of additional player data points. This process will result in a more granular player overview, allowing us to increase the precision of the underlying system and in return boost its potency. As we continue to optimize we'll be able to adjust our thresholds, casting a wider net with full confidence, and finding and banning more cheaters that may have been going undetected.

There's more to come on Data Bans. We're also currently developing a machine learning solution which will aim to broaden our ability to detect cheaters in Siege.

We'll be sharing more on this in a future update.

BATTLEYE
BattlEye is the system that makes up for most of our cheater bans. Like our other forms of anti-cheat, BattlEye is never turned off, remaining active at all times, finding and banning thousands of cheaters each month.

As some of you may have noticed, in-game mentions of BattlEye have been removed. This change is to make sure that cheaters aren't getting information on how or what they were detected by; even minor details such as the mention of a ban system can play a role in the creation of new and undetectable cheats. This small change will help in reducing the chances of our anti-cheat systems being bypassed by cheaters and cheat makers.

We know that cheaters have a big impact on Siege and everyone's enjoyment of the game, which is why we're boosting our anti-cheat resources. We already have results to show for this in January, and we have much more to come.

We are focused on strengthening our anti-cheat tools, tackling current high impact cheats, and ultimately giving players the experience that they log on for.

Make sure to watch the Six Invitational for the Year 9 Season 1 and Year 9 reveals on Saturday February 24th and Sunday February 25th, for further information on our Player Protection plans!
