Gameplay First ranked 1v5 clutch! Not the cleanest, but I take it
Yes, I was on second floor with Vigil in a 1v5, though I started falling back when it was still a 3v5. I don't usually roam, so my timings are shit, so I take criticism on that one for sure. I got lucky with the first 2, I've heard Capitao and Zofia, and the last kill was an educated guess. I felt like I had to push even though I had the defuser, since they could've collapsed on me at any time.
I'm Gold, so realistically in a higher lobby I would've been traded by that first 2, I'm aware of that too. I usually choke even in a 1v1 - 1v2 situation, I'm happy I got away with this this time.
And the cherry on top, one of them said "nice cheats" and alt+f4'd the game haha
Edit: Watching it back, I should've anticipated that the last guy will go right not left, so my crosshair placement was horrible, looking at the reinforced wall. Oh whatever.

Discussion New main menu art
In my humble opinion, the new artwork featuring Caveira is the best thing to happen to this game’s main menu in 11 years.
It looks cool, stylish, and modern. I genuinely like it, but I have to throw a bit of a wrench in the works. Ubisoft, what is going on with your design consistency? Why does the same character have completely different faces in-game, on operator cards, in CGI trailers, and in promotional art like this? This is far from the first time it’s happened. Take the latest operator, Noor—he has four entirely different looks across various pieces of art and the game itself. The same goes for a bunch of other characters (Solis, Thorn, etc.). I get that there might be differences in detail or polish between in-game models and cinematics, but here, they literally look like completely different people. Caveira has gradually shifted from a tough Brazilian woman into some generic, "cute" girl with European features. My first thought was that it was just someone cosplaying as Caveira—but nope, turns out it’s actually her! 😂
What do you guys think? Did someone mess up the prompt? 😂

Discussion Is Holo Aoverrated?
I feel like Holo A takes up too much screen space, and the reticle is unnecessarily complicated. I think sights like Reflex A/C or Red Dot A/C are better options because they have cleaner reticles and obstruct less of your vision.
I feel like Holo A is so popular mainly because it's a familiar sight that appears in a lot of other games. What do you guys think?

Useful Don't Open Doctor's Curse Packs! If You buy a bundle anyways.
SOLVED
EDIT: It has to be a glitch on my side. I slept, and i started the game again, and it has a discount now. So my only issue is that the shop doesn't show you the new price ONLY AFTER you restart your game (i didn't have to before).
I guess I'm not the only one, who thought if you obtain some Skins/Cosmetics from a bundle, it becomes cheaper in the shop.
I wanted to buy the new Bundle for Grim, but silly me opened the Packs first, cause i thought, if i get something from his bundle, it will become cheaper (as it was till this Event).
I got 2 items out of his bundle, the price stay the same.
Because of that, I won't buy the bundle, Ubi can go and fund himself.

Discussion Is there a way ti get rid of the crossplay pop up?
Every time I load up siege on Xbox, I get asked if I want to enable cross play with PC or keep my current options, I have now said I want to keep my current option well over 100 times. And when I accidentally click on enabling cross play with PC, I have to restart the game to get the option to keep current options again as it clearly doesn't save the option. Please Ubi, I beg. I know it's small, but christ it is annoying.

Discussion Legend Division is bad but not for the reason you think.
I looooveee the addition of Legend to R6. One of the best features that has ever been added to the game. But I find one flaw in it and it has nothing to with the rank itself but the requirements to play it. You have to be a plat for at least one season in the past...that's fine and you have to be a current champion in the season, which is also fine. The part that doesn't make sense to me is you don't have to be a Champ 1 to be in Legend. Champ as of rank 3.0 has 5 divisions with 1 being the highest. It makes no sense to add 4 more divisions to champion if you only need to be champ 5.
In theory, you could be champ 5, stop, playing, and when Legend comes out mid season just play that. This makes hitting champ 4-1 pointless. Devs might as well take away those ranks bringing back the way champ used to be.
I thought you needed to be Champ 1 in order to qualify for Legend, which would make sense for why the sudden addition of 4 champ ranks. But apparently, after i watched a yt video of a champ 4 playing in legend, you don't need to be a champ 1 making the top 4 ranks of champ pointless.
Legend is supposed to the best of the best players, with the exception of pro play, and adding new ranks just to not make them necessary for players to reach to play in the highest rank in the game is a bad design.
I'll take accountability if I'm wrong about this.

Discussion [PS5] Anyone Else Experiencing Extremely Long Matchmaking Times on AP South-1?
Hey everyone!
I'm playing Rainbow Six Siege on PS5 from India, and matchmaking on the AP South-1 server takes 10+ minutes for Quick Match and Standard.
I've managed to get into a few games, so matchmaking does work occasionally, but the wait is ridiculous.
I'm curious:
- Is anyone else experiencing this on AP South-1?
- Have you found a way to get matches faster?
- Does joining someone on EU or NA servers help?
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's dealt with something similar. I just want to play the game without spending half my gaming session in matchmaking!
Thanks.

Discussion I wish they'd fix the specular on the gem skins to match their thumbnails
They used to look so nice, just how they did in the thumbnail preview. But for a while now, the gem skins (Diamond, Topaz, Emerald, Ruby, Amethyst) in addition to the original Gold skin have had much higher roughness so they don't look quite as brilliant as the thumbnails. It's only a very small issue, but would be an easy and pleasant fix
