Below is all the detail revealed by Ubisoft about the Weapon Recoil:
NEW RECOIL SYSTEM (PC)
We overhauled the recoil system with the aim of making weapon recoil more meaningful. In this new system:
- Vertical recoil has been reviewed on all weapons and adjusted to match the weapon’s expected power level.
- Vertical and horizontal recoil intensity increases during sustained fire bursts. The longer the burst, the stronger the recoil.
- Limits on weapons with strong recoil have mostly stayed the same.
- LMGs and weapons with high-capacity magazines now have a 4th stage of recoil that’s harder to control.
- Weapons have more attachment options. This feature will be available for both Console and PC.
Rainbow Six Siege Year 7 Season 3 Changes
RECOIL CHANGES (CONSOLE)
- Recoil on console now works differently compared to PC.
- In the past, console recoil was adjusted based on PC values and modified for console. With this approach, console recoil values can be adjusted separately from the PC allowing us to focus on the needs of the console more accurately.
NEW GADGET: IMPACT EMP GRENADE
This season we’re adding the Impact EMP Grenade, a new throwable gadget that explodes on impact to deactivate nearby electronic devices for a short period of time.
MAP BAN CHANGES
We’ve changed the Map Ban Phase to now display 5 maps instead of 3. This will increase map diversity while also maintaining player agency for removing certain maps from the pool.
TACTICAL MAP CHANGES
We’ve updated the Tactical Map to provide more crucial information to Attackers and help them make more informed decisions during the Preparation Phase.
- Attackers can now see a list of available Defender objective locations.
- The floor map and objective locations will be displayed when they are discovered by the Attacking team.
GAME BALANCING
HARD BREACH CHARGE
- Reduced the activation time to 4s (was 5s)
FRAG GRENADE
- Reduced the radius at which minimum damage is taken to 3.6m (was 5m)
- Reduced the radius at which maximum damage is taken to 2m (was 2.5m)
