The Rainbow Six Siege 1.67 update is now live on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. The new Year 4, Season 2 update is undoubtedly one of the more significant ones in recent weeks, with Operation Phantom Sight dropping, the appearance of new Operators, and your usual amount of fine-tuning and tweaking. It all makes for a considerable (and considerably interesting update). If you want to know more, take a look at our whistlestop tour of the highlights below before diving into the full changelog that makes up the Rainbow Six Siege 1.67 update patch notes.
Rainbow Six Siege 1.67 Update
Two new Operators
Nokk and Warden are both being introduced for Operation Phantom Sight owners. Nokk is far more offensive, relying on her ability to skulk through maps relatively undetected, while Warden is definitely one for more defensive-minded players, especially with the Glance ability, which allows the new Operator to see through smoke. That’s an infinitely useful ability if ever I’ve seen one.
For more extensive looks at the new Operators, check out our Nokk guide and Warden guide respectively.
Kafe Dostoyevsky map rework
But it’s not just new additions we should be paying attention to. No, the Rainbow Six Siege 1.67 update is also reworking a map. The interior components of Kafe Dostoyevsky have been tweaked, with the first floor now looking a lot classier; the second floor, meanwhile, has new Bomb positions.
Reverse Friendly Fire
Reverse Friendly Fire, the novel solution to griefers which sees users getting some blowback for team-killing etc, is being tweaked. Now, the likes of smoke and ash do not affect players who threw them down as part of the Reverse Friendly Fire features. This makes far more sense, as hectic situations shouldn’t automatically mean players are being punished because they’ve made a wrong decision. The dev team promises future updates to help further scale this up or down accordingly.
