It can be performed on any operator with a breach charge, however it’s unlikely that players will see it being exploited on standard operators that still benefit from aiming down sight in a greater fashion. Other shield operators are similarly effective with the added protection, however the animation of throwing a grenade breaks the glitch and forces the abuser to restart the process.

This has been particularly prevalent with shield operators, giving players almost as much accuracy as aiming down sights but without the need to remove the protective shield from their front. Lately, there has been something a lot more game breaking, however, as breach charge users can conduct a series of events to significantly increase the accuracy of their hipfire. Other platforms might still experience the bug, but given that this is a big priority for Ubisoft, it’s doubtful that it will be present for much longer.Įxploits are nothing new in the world of Rainbow Six Siege, especially since the ability to place a shield next to a window to prevent vaulting through a window has been in the game pretty much since launch. – Deploy Y3S1.1.0.2 – Hip-fire bug fix /9pptzEjMHt Perhaps the most important part for the majority of players, however, was the addition of the hipfire bug fix on PC, stopping players from conducting a series of events that concentrated hipfire shots into an almost aim-down-sights-like fashion.Īt 11:30am EDT / 15:30 UTC, we will be deploying an Emergency PC Maintenance for 15 minutes.
