In a massive surprise to everyone, Ubisoft has decided to bring back Rainbow Six Siege‘s Showdown event, which is regarded as one of the best limited-time events in Siege history.

Yes, you’ve heard it right, The Graveltop Gang are fresh from a prison break and are ready for a new quest. However, squad members of The Law are here to stop them once again from escaping with other people’s stash. Check out the event trailer below:

‘Showdown’ limited-time event

From September 21st to 28th, Siege players will be able to go back to the West with the return of Showdown at the Fort Truth map. The Showdown limited-time event features a 3v3 game mode with short 90 second rounds. There’s a secure-area like objective, which the defenders have to protect. Instead of Siege’s usual weapon arsenal, in this game mode players will only have access to the double-barreled BOSG.12.2 and the LFP586 revolver, without any scopes.

Get reacquainted with the infamous team of sleazy criminals, the Graveltop Gang. The baddest of the bad, the ugliest of the ugly. Their guns answer to only them.

  • Aria “Alibi” de Luca,
  • Jalal “Kaid” El Fassi,
  • Taina “Caveira” Pereira,
  • Adriano “Maestro” Martello,
  • Julien “Rook” Nizan

But a team of vigilante sheriffs have been protecting Fort Truth for more than a fortnight and they’re not ready to hang up their stars just yet. The Law never rests.

  • Erik “Maverick” Thorn
  • Eliza “Ash” Cohen
  • Emmanuelle “Twitch” Pichon
  • Vicente “Capitão” Souza
  • Timur “Glaz” Glazkov

Showdown Collection Alpha Packs

The Showdown Collection includes 31 items, returning and new. Players will be able to get a free pack by logging into the game during this limited-time event.

You don’t need mountains of gold to receive the personalized uniforms, headgears, and weapon skins of the collection. Obtain any of its 10 Operator Bundles for 1680 R6 Credits or grab an Alpha Pack for a quick fix with 300 R6 Credits or 12,500 Renown.

The Showdown event will only last until September 28th, which Siege fans surely would want to be extended. Make sure to jump back into the exclusive Fort Truth map, and enjoy some wild action with your friends.
