Ubisoft has announced a new patch for Rainbow Six Siege that will be deployed tonight to make several bug fixes.

Rainbow Six Siege’s Y7S2.1 patch is not the mid-season update that will be deployed later in Operation Vector Glare. While this patch might be small, it will mitigate some crucial bugs, such as the Mira ‘Black Mirror’ damage bug.

Mira’s Black Mirror bug was allowing players to kill people through the solid windows with explosives. So, by placing a nitro cell on the Black Mirror, defenders can easily eliminate attackers on the other side of the mirror, without them even suspecting a thing. So, Mira, who was temporarily disabled from all Siege esports leagues will now be available to be picked.

The Y7S2.1 Patch will be released on PC on June 27th at 09:00 EDT / 13:00 UTC. While PlayStation and Xbox users will have to wait 24 hours for the update. Find all the new changes in the patch notes below:
