Rainbow Six Siege players can today download a brand new update for the hit Ubisoft shooter.
An update has been released to address FPS issues that hit Rainbow Six Siege players following the release of patch 4.2.
News of the latest Rainbow Six Siege patch was revealed on the game’s official Twitter page.
Earlier today the account posted: “We just deployed an update on PC to address the FPS issues that occurred after 4.2. Please restart your clients!
“We will be performing a maintenance on the PS4 servers in 5 minutes.
“Estimated downtime: 20 minutes. No player facing changes.”
The latest Rainbow Six Siege download follows hot on the heels of the Operation Burnt Horizon reveal.
Operation Burnt Horizon marks the start of year four season one of Rainbow Six Siege.
The release will bring with it two brand new operators from the SASR.
In a post online, the Rainbow Six Siege team said: “Year Four Season One is all set to go, featuring two new operators from the SASR.
“One’s a stoic Attacker who’s just there to get the job done, and the other is a quick-witted Defender who’s in it for the guts and glory.
“Two old mates from way back, they’ve signed up with Rainbow to bring a little Aussie know-how to the other side of the world.
“This includes a new device that’ll keep roaming Defenders on their toes, and one that’ll leave Attackers at a bit of a loss.
“That doesn’t mean they’ve left the sunburnt country completely behind them, though – there’s a slice of the red desert coming with them.
“A high-stakes chase has ended in a standoff at a service station halfway between here and nowhere, resulting in a map that’s packed with twists, turns, and Australiana.
“Try not to get distracted in the gift shop or dream of sampling the national specialties available at the fast food counter.
“Your teammates will thank you.”
Operation Burnt Horizon will get a full reveal on February 17 via the official Rainbow Six Twitch Channel.
The latest season will also bring with it the brand new Outback map.
Alongside a teaser trailer, the Rainbow Six Siege Twitter posted: “A homage to all the dusty service stations that populate the forgotten highways of Australia.
“Outback is the 21st map created for Rainbow Six Siege. Take a closer look!”
A post online went into further details about what fans can expect from the upcoming new Outback map.
In the post, Assistant Level Design Director Jacques Wong said: “We divided the map into three distinct sections – the Garage, the Motel, and the Restaurant – and put a lot of effort into making sure each section is recognisable, even from far away.
“There are specific colours for each section, and we used lighting and geometry to direct the player’s gaze to where they need to go.”
