Ubisoft just announced the next arcade game mode for Rainbow Six Siege, which will be titled “Headshot”.

This limited-time arcade event will only last for this weekend, and it will “test your aim like never before!”, stated Ubisoft.

In this special Rainbow Six game mode, body shots will not deal any damage to enemies. So, players will have to aim for the head to defeat their opponents. 

According to Ubisoft, Siege’s new Headshot arcade mode will take place in a limited map pool of Kafe Dostoyevsky, House, Border, and Favela. Here two teams will face-off with Chrome bodies and switched gadgets to take the win. Attackers are team Silver, with Stun Grenades and Breach Charges at their disposal, while team Gold on Defense has access to Barbed Wire and Bulletproof Cameras.

With no preparation phase or reinforcements available, this new game mode is set to be full of fast-paced action and fun. However, landing that important headshot will require skill, so practice your crosshair placement, peeking, recoil control, and everything that helps you win those 1v1s.

This new limited-time game mode is now live and will stay until July 19th. So go and try out this new playlist for yourself, before it’s too late.
