Ubisoft is rolling out its latest update for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, delivering a second mid-season patch host to bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. Patch 4.2 places a focus on re-enabling Clash, following her removal from public multiplayer matches, amid a game-breaking exploit following the release ofOperation Shifting Tides. Ubisoft also accompanies the remedy with further changes, eliminating prevalent issues around Operators and level design.
The return of Clash follows overone month of quarantine for the holiday season, as Ubisoft wrangled a nasty unexpected bug impacting her high-voltage CCE Shield. Performing certain button combinations would allow players to shoot with her shield appearing raised, with significant implications on the state of competitive play. To avoid widespread impact, Ubisoft disabled the defender until developing a fix. The full patch notes also highlight fixes primarily targeting Goyo and Mira, among other quality-of-life improvements.
