With Rainbow Six Siege update 2.1.3 today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, Ubisoft has tweaked Glaz’s scope to make it easier to know when a shot lands or misses, increased Montagne’s LFP586 hip fire spread, fixed several bugs, and more.
For Glaz’s scope, Ubisoft noticed that the blood splatter visual effects were not working properly, making it difficult to know if shots were hitting. To help remedy this, they’ve reduced the noise created by the thermal lens, lowered the contrast of the teal tint of the lens, lowered the contrast of the yellow highlight on opponents, and fixed the blood splatters effect not appearing on successful shots.
As for Montagne’s LFP586, Ubisoft says, “We felt like Montagne paired with the LFP586 + laser sight was overall too strong at medium and longer range encounters, so we have increased the hip fire spread of the gun. Montagne won’t be able to quickly shut down his opponent without having to expose himself anymore, given that there is a decent distance between the two.”
Here’s the rest of the patch notes for today’s Rainbow Six Siege update:
Echo’s Yokai Drone disorients a player if it hits any body part
- Echo’s Yokai drone’s sonic burst now registers all body parts as a valid hit surface to trigger the disorientation effect on the opponent. We felt like it was really hard to hit the head (even more so on consoles), so we’re giving Echo players a lot more room for imprecision to trigger the effect.

- FIXED – Hipfiring with the OTS-03 results in a perfectly circular shot pattern, as opposed to shots landing at the point of aim.
Level Design
Bartlett University
- FIXED – Placing the Black Mirror on non-reinforced walls with paintings on the other side will not destroy the props and will obscure vision.
- FIXED – Invisible collision causes drones to appear as if they are floating in the Library.
Chalet
- FIXED – Players cannot vault over a Deployable Shield if placed at 2F Library Hallway doorway.
- FIXED – Yokai can destroy and stick to shelves that are midway up the wall.

User Experience
- FIXED – Players do not receive any points when killing an enemy with a gadget after the player has died.

- FIXED – When shooting at least two times before detonating, X-KAIROS pellets do not produce any sound in third person.
- FIXED – IQ has the wrong nail polish color in 3rd person view. She was very excited to show off her latest manicure.

- FIXED – DBNO audio remains present after reviving the DBNO Operator.
- FIXED – Any equipped gadget is invisible if held for more than 9 seconds with one hit key (advanced deployment option) in hand in the End of Round replay or any replay.
Ubisoft has been investigating Hibana’s gadget randomly not detonating, and discovered that the fix is more complex than they expected. “After significant testing and tweaking, we decided that the only way to resolve the issue was to rebuild the backend design of Hibana’s gadget,” they said. “This is not an easy task, but we have targeted this to be completed within [Year Two, Season Two].”
