Rainbow Six Siege - Wildcards Siege Event Launches Today
The new Wildcards Siege event debuts in Rainbow Six Siege today to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game with game-changing modifiers inspired by Siege history that players vote on each round to shake things up. Running through January 5, Wildcards Siege takes place on the reworked House map during dusk, setting a nostalgic stage for the action. Four Operator bundles designed by community artists are available as part of the event collection, along with a weapon kit, signature bundle, and Memento reward for completing the collection. Players can earn free items and event packs during the event in a variety of ways, including Twitch Drops, Ubisoft Connect challenges, and simply logging in to the event and claiming one.
Wildcards Siege event matches are best-of-five Bomb mode showdowns. Each round, players are presented with a selection of modifiers to vote on; each player gets one vote, and the top two most-voted modifiers will go into effect for the next round. There is a wide range of available modifiers, including Multi-pick, which allows duplicate Operator selections (a team of 5 Kapkans?), and Tactical Realism, a throwback mode which strips away HUD elements for a more immersive experience. Modifiers can also impact available Operators (e.g. Redhammer squad members only), require all players to use a specific type of weapon, or reverse movement inputs.
