Rainbow Six Siege has released an update, 2.46, that includes a range of bug fixes to enhance the gameplay experience. This latest patch, Y8S1.1, is available on all platforms and its download size varies depending on the platform.
The update is designed to improve the functionality of Maestro’s Evil Eye, Valkyrie’s Black Eye, and the Bulletproof Camera by allowing them to be accessed in Online matches with the unique or secondary ability input button. Additionally, the Kludge Drone of Brava is now displaying out-of-range feedback on the HUD when failing to hack due to distance. The 6P41 reload animation has also been fixed to start from the same spot when canceled while inserting the magazine.
