- Rainbow Six Siege получила патч Y11S3.1 - несколько оперативников усилили, а десятки ошибок исправили - 23 September 2026
Rainbow Six Siege обновилась до версии Y11S3.1, которая внесла точечные изменения в баланс оперативников и исправила большое количество ошибок. Масштабной перестройки меты патч не предлагает, однако сразу несколько персонажей получили небольшие усиления. Боезапас Skeleton Key Баку увеличили с 31 до 36 патронов, а Каслу теперь требуется десять ударов для разрушения Armor Panel вместо девяти. F-NATT Dread Mine Фенрира быстрее достигает максимальной дальности действия газа — за 1,9 секунды вместо двух. Evil Eye Маэстро получил девять секунд работы батареи вместо восьми. Усилили и Термита: урон Exothermic Charge вырос с 200 до 220 единиц. Следж теперь быстрее использует Breaching Hammer — время замаха сократили с одной секунды до 0,8. Изменения также затронули дробовики: у M1014 урон увеличили с 28 до 30, а у SPAS-15 — с 24 до 26 единиц. Значительная часть патча посвящена исправлению ошибок…
- Y11S3.1 PATCH NOTES - 23 September 2026
See everything included in the Y11S3.1 update.REFINEMENT CHANGESThese are small adjustments that don’t aim to alter an Operator’s overall power level or flexibility. Instead, they focus on polishing gameplay details, improving consistency, and enhancing quality-of-life without shifting the meta. Our goal is to maintain a steady stream of these refinements alongside major updates, helping the game evolve and improve at a constant pace.BUCKThis allows Buck to maintain his presence for longer, enabling more consistent vertical play and extended utility usage throughout the round.SKELETON KEYTotal ammo increased to 36 (was 31).CASTLEThis increases the time and commitment required to clear Castle’s barricades, improving their role in slowing Attacker advances and reinforcing defensive positions.ARMOR PANELIncreased melee hits to destroy the Armor Panel increased to 10 (was 9).FENRIRWe want t…
- Создатели Rainbow Six Siege признали неизбежный отток игроков из-за GTA 6 и готовят "сюрпризы" - 22 September 2026
Ubisoft ожидает, что релиз GTA 6 в ноябре заметно повлияет на онлайн Rainbow Six Siege, однако команда игры не собирается просто пережидать этот период. По словам креативного директора Rainbow Six Siege Джошуа Миллса, игроки, которые останутся в игре, получат максимум внимания со стороны разработчиков. «Неважно, какой у вас жанр — после выхода GTA 6 вы почувствуете удар. Люди будут играть в неё, а потом вернутся. Чёрт, мы все будем играть в неё», — заявил Миллс в разговоре с The Game Business. По его словам, команде важно заранее правильно оценивать ситуацию и не паниковать из-за временного падения числа игроков. Rainbow Six Siege вышла ещё в 2015 году и за это время сформировала преданную аудиторию, однако разработчики понимают, что многие игроки наверняка захотят хотя бы на время отправиться в мир GTA 6. Ubisoft не собирается снижать активность в игре из-за конкурента. «Наше золотое п…
- Молодое поколение геймеров ломает тактическую механику Rainbow Six Siege беготней в стиле Рэмбо - 22 September 2026
Аудитория тактического шутера Rainbow Six Siege переживает масштабный демографический сдвиг, спровоцировавший серьезные изменения в геймплее и сетевом коде. Креативный директор проекта в студии Ubisoft Montreal Джошуа Миллс подтвердил, что в проект массово приходят более молодые пользователи с совершенно иными привычками. Новое поколение геймеров игнорирует позиционное планирование и пытается навязать игре темп аркадных сетевых боевиков, что вынуждает разработчиков жестко отстаивать базовые принципы тактики. Проекту исполнилось почти 11 лет, а игроки, начинавшие штурмовать здания в 18-летнем возрасте на релизе, сейчас приближаются к 30 годам. Джошуа Миллс отметил, что взрослые геймеры, включая его самого, уже не обладают прежней резкостью реакции и делают ставку на глубокое понимание локаций, гаджеты и командные маневры. Молодая же аудитория выросла на совершенно других скоростях, полаг…
