Ubisoft has introduced the Y7S2.2 Patch for Rainbow Six Siege, bringing some new features of the Reputation System and some crucial bug fixes.

With this new patch, some features of the Reputation System will be introduced, such as reverse-friendly fire being enabled by default for repeated offenders. These sanctions are also set to last for several matches, so players are discouraged from behaving offensively.

Additionally, the annoying gameplay bug of being unable to sprint when quickly triggering Melusi’s Banshee multiple times or stepping onto multiple of Lesion’s GU mines will finally be fixed with this latest patch. This bug has already affected a few Pro League matches, and maybe even your Ranked match.
