Play with a controller on console, folks...
Rainbow Six Siege Year 8 Season 1 was recently detailed by Ubisoft and includes a new Operator alongside anti-keyboard and mouse tactics on consoles.
First, the new Operator is “Brava, an invaluable new Attacker equipped with the Kludge Drone gadget,” Ubisoft said.
“This drone disrupts hostile surveillance and provides counter tactics, like repurposing the technology for her squad. An extremely adaptable Operator, Brava can gain an advantage in any environment by accessing electronic resources available to her. Brava is a three speed, one health Operator, and her loadout features a PARA-308 or a CAMRS as a primary weapon and a USP40 or a Super Shorty as a secondary weapon.”
Ubisoft will also be cracking down on those who use a keyboard and mouse on console in order to gain an advantage over those players using controllers.
Those playing with a keyboard and mouse on console will activate a penalty that gradually adds lag to their inputs.
“The goal of this penalty is to encourage fair gameplay by removing the unfair advantage that mouse and keyboard players have on consoles,” Ubisoft explained. “While active, continued use of mouse and keyboard gradually increases the lag over several matches, making it harder to aim and shoot. Completing matches with a controller will gradually reduce the lag back to normal.”
Rainbow Six Siege is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 and Amazon Luna. Expect Year 8 Season 1 on 8 March here in Australia.
