For instance, the loadout of Nokk might see some improvement. There is a possibility that the two operators will be buffed. Aside from assault rifles, Blackbeard is known for his TARS or transparent armored rifle-shields.Īpart from nerfing Blackbeard, designers are also monitoring new operators, Kaid and Nokk. Blackbeard is known for his discipline and doggedness. Instead, at the age of 12, he started his training and enlisted when he reached 18 years of age. He could have pursued the path of least resistance, go to an Ivy League school, and become the CEO of some company. However, his ambition speaks volumes about his character. He just decided one day to join the Navy SEALS. He also didn’t have a military background. He grew up in a comfortable life with his upper-middle-class upbringing. The patch notes revealed that designers are continually monitoring Blackbeard to know if he needs tweaking.īlackbeard’s background is not what you would expect from an operator. The developers didn’t expect to see such a jump in the win delta, but they are pursuing a few leads. The power of the operator is “currently on the rise.” According to the patch notes, the operator seems to be too powerful based on his win delta. Ubisoft released the Y4S3.3 update for Rainbow Six Siege, which added some tweaks and changes. Without frags to rely on she may have to change roles from a speedy entry fragger to a slower, intel based operator, using her gadget to remove utility from the defending side, which seems more in line with her original role within a team.Craig Benson, aka Blackbeard, might be getting too good, and Rainbow Six developers are closely monitoring his progress. IQ’s main utility comes from her solid guns, frag grenades and high speed rather than from her situational gadget. IQ is losing her frag grenades in favour of a claymore, and the range on her scanner is being decreased from 20 metres to 15. IQ and Blackbeard, meanwhile, are nerfed. While this change will certainly up her pickrate, further buffing one of the strongest operators in the game doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. As of last season, Finka was one of the most effective operators in the game, but her pick rate at high level was still lacking. Operators under the effects of one of Finka’s nano boosts now only take 50% more damage from Smoke’s canisters, rather than double damage. One of Siege’s strongest operators, Finka, is buffed further on the test server, with her inconsistent flashbang grenades being swapped out for the more powerful frag grenades, and she’s now less vulnerable to one of her biggest counters-Smoke.
