R6S content creator Pengu recently shared that the silent vault bug has been present in Rainbow Six Siege for some time now, and multiple players have reportedly abused this bug in the Six Invitationals this year. But after Pengu brought this issue to the entire Siege community, the devs have quickly pushed a fix with this Y6S2.1 patch.
It has now come to my attention that multiple players abused the silent vault bug at invitationals & have known about various bugs for up to a YEAR and they not only abuse it, they also keep it as secret as possible to make it exist for longer.
