Tom Clancy’sRainbow SixSiege’s first season of Year 9 has commenced and brings a plethora of changes along, to shake the meta yet again. The highlight of the patch is that ACOGs are back but players will bid farewell to the 1.5x scope as it’s been ditched completely.
Several operators like Azami and Finka while weapons like LMG-E, 6P41, and more have been balanced to bring a new dynamic to Year 9 Seasons 1’s gameplay. Some weapon attachments like Grips and Underbarrels are also tweaked which sheds the old bonuses, bringing something new to the table.
