Rainbow Six Siege Burnt Horizon Patch Arriving Tomorrow

Published

on

Ubisoft has detailed the upcoming what’s in store for the forthcoming Rainbow Six Siege Burnt Horizon update due out tomorrow.

The official blog outlined the patch notes:

GAMEPLAY

LEAN SPAM CAMERA PLACEMENT

  • Previous camera placement at a full lean allowed players to fire without being completely exposed. As part of our fix to counteract lean spamming, we are shifting the camera to the center of the head instead of the far side of the head, even when at a “full lean”.

BALANCING

CAPITAO

  • Back to Wind Bastion version.

We’re reverting Capitao back to his Wind Bastion version while we take a look at and evaluate the data and feedback we’ve gathered.

DOKKAEBI

  • Auto – hangup timer of Dokkaebi calls reduced to 12 seconds (down from 18).

We’re cutting down the amount of time it takes to auto–hangup a call based on feedback, so mom will go to voicemail faster now.

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed – When prone, moving/turning the camera even slightly will cause the Operator to make noise.This problem is tied to the shield operator rotation fix for Y4S1, so we’re reverting back to the old rotation system for the time being.What that means for the Shield Rotation Desync fix: While we have reverted the new rotation system for now to address the rotational noise issues, we’re going to work on improvements to the rotation system and the shield desync fix so neither is an issue. Unfortunately, this means that the shield rotation desync issue will be present again for the time being. We are still targeting some time during Y4S1 for the shield rotation fix to be implemented, and will update players when we have more info.
  • Fixed – Incorrect kill feed Death Icon.
  • Fixed – Attacker’s still receive electric damage even after leaving electrified reinforced walls.
  • Fixed – Defenders are not being affected by Mute’s Jammer when prone (players not registered as being within the AOE buff, blue indicator missing, cleanse not in effect).
  • Fixed – Attackers can control a drone if they deploy a drone while being injured at the same time.
  • Fixed – Transition animation from prone to sprint is almost instantaneous (the worm).
  • Fixed – Moving while prone and leaning produces no sound.

  • Fixed – Gridlock’s F90 reload animation restarts if the reload animation is interrupted.
MOZZIE
  • Fixed – Pest is unusable if deployed on Mute’s Jammer.
  • Fixed – Pest can hack drones through single bullet holes on single layered destroyable surfaces.
ALIBI
  • Fixed – Alibi’s hologram still appears even when an Attacking Operator is moving through/on top of the gadget while in prone.
BUCK/BLACKBEARD
  • Fixed – Fire rate of Buck and Blackbeard’s DMR in PVE are too low.
CAVEIRA
  • Fixed – Fire rate on Caveira’s Luison is lower than intended.
KAID
  • Fixed – Barbed wire is being electrified when vertically outside of the active radius of Kaid’s Rtila.
YING
  • Fixed – Ying’s Burnt Horizon headgear model collapses her character model.
IQ
  • Fixed – When sprinting, IQ keeps her gadget up to her face.
  • Fixed – Popping animation when IQ is prone and leaning with her gadget.
  • Fixed – Leaning with IQ’s gadget while rappelling is not replicated from a third person POV on her model.

USER EXPERIENCE

OPERATOR MOVEMENT AND RUNNING ANIMATIONS.

  • With Y4S1, we have cleaned up the animations in the back end, and streamlined them. This will allow us more freedom to implement new features and unique aspects of the game in the future, as the overall animation development pipeline has been streamlined. We have also updated the new running animations based on the player feedback we received so that the head lean is less aggressive to make the sprint animation look more natural.
[2019-03-04] BH PN Addendum running
  • Minimum Clearance Level for Ranked Playlist increased from 20 to 30.
  • Reduction in HP after being revived from a DBNO state: PvP = 20 (down from 50), THunt = 15.

Overwatch 2

Blizzard is leveling up their efforts to thwart cheaters and misconduct within Overwatch 2, as the company aims to penalize players who are friends with cheaters and will amp up their monitoring of voice communications.

The company detailed this in the brand new update for its Defense Matrix Initiative, which is focused on curbing “gameplay sabotage, abusive chat, and cheating” stating their plan to come down on players who team up with cheaters, and more.

Blizzard admitted that cheating in Overwatch 2 is a problem and has “actioned over 50,000 accounts” since the game launched and starting in Season 3 they will be actively identifying players that purposely team up with players who are regularly flagged as cheaters, and will also face potential discipline.

Overwatch 2 will also have improved protection for streamers, as the issue of Stream sniping continues to be a problem, and in Season 3 they will be “introducing new streaming protection features that should be a huge step toward enabling content creators to share Overwatch 2 with their fans safely.”

Blizzard is encouraging players to report any disruptive or problematic behaviour in their matches.
