Ubisoft has shared details on what’s going to be different for existing Rainbow Six Siege operators in Burnt Horizon, and some of those changes are substantial. Biggest of all is an Ash nerf, which will remove the ACOG scope from the R4-C, but there’s plenty more – including the fact that we’ll get more info on the Lion rework at the Six Invitational.

“Within the balancing team,” Ubisoft says on the official site, “we are challenging whether or not all Attackers have ACOGs by default, and feel as if Ash is a great place to learn what impact the removal of Attacking ACOGs will have. Also, her R4-C is currently picked 99% of the time, and this should help balance her weapon pick rate a bit more.”

Dokkaebi’s getting nerfed too, as her phone calls will now automatically hang up after 18 seconds. Mute jammers will prevent the calls, and walking into range of those jammers will similarly hang up a call mid-ring. Meanwhile, Maverick’s getting increased swap time between the torch and his weapons, and while Capitao’s area of effect size on asphyxiating bolts is getting increased, it’s dropping from 19 damage per tick to 12.
