The patch notes state that the team wanted to lean into his “master of destruction” role and give him a hard breach.
The most personal change for me is the fact that Buck continues to be made into something he isn’t with the removal of his claymore, instead getting one of the new utility hard breaches. No word on whether the controversy in the eSports realm was the catalyst for this removal, but the timing is rather suspect. This ability was at the center of heated debate over the past week after it was utilized in a pro EU match in the lead-up to the Six Invitational. Previously Zofia could get up on her own after being downed without the assistance of any other teammates – an ability unique to her without using any gadgets.
The Year 5 Season 4.3 patch rework falls in the latter category, albeit with some positives.įirst and foremost, the biggest change (and possibly the most controversial) is the removal of Zofia’s Withstand ability. Some like the Chalet rework have been good, while others have been a bit of a mystery. Ever since Ubisoft announced that there would only be one operator released per season of Rainbow Six Siege, the team has been diligently reworking and re-balancing some of the more requested changes to the aging tactical shooter.
