Rainbow Six Siege Y11S3.2 Balancing Update Released on October 15 as Update 3.51 | 1.000.157
Ubisoft is back with another game update for Rainbow Six Siege, and this is the mid-season patch for the multiplayer game.
Called the Y11S3.2 patch, console gamers will see this as R6 Siege update 3.51 | 1.000.157. This brings major changes to operators and is considered a balance patch.
There is a lot of stuff to dissect, and I suspect not all of it will sit well with R6 Siege players.
