Rainbow Six Siege UPDATE: Operators undergo BIG changes ahead of server maintenance

Rainbow Six Siege is getting a major new update on PS4, Xbox One and PC later today.

The Operation White Noise mid-season reinforcements update will make changes to various operators. 

Ela’s SMG will have a reduced magazine size, for example, as Ubisoft reduces the number of bullets from 50 to 40.

Ela will also be affected by the reduction in concussion effects, while Ash’s R4-C will deliver less damage.

In a bid to make the character more attractive, Capitao’s assault rifle will do more damage.

Ubisoft is also making changes to Twitch’s Shock Drone ammo, Bandit’s barbed wire and Lesion’s Gu Mine refill timer.

Players can also expect some offline server maintenance, as the game goes offline for 30 minutes at 2pm UK time on PC. The PS4 version goes offline at 2pm on January 24, followed by the Xbox One version at 3pm.
