The new Rainbow Six Siege Y7S3.1 Patch Notes is dropping tonight on all platforms, and it will address some of the bugs introduced with the new season of Operation Brutal Swarm.

Rainbow Six Siege’s Y7S3 Operation Brutal Swarm brought the newest operator Grim, and alongside him came a bunch of issues, some of which are more frustrating than others.

The latest Y7S3.1 Patch will address some of these bugs, such as the operator texture being stretched, which usually happens in the main lobby. From the patch notes, we learned that Vigil getting pinged by Grim’s bees is indeed a bug, which will now be altered to its intended behaviour. Other bug fixes include Crosshair not blinking when cooking a Frag grenade or completely disappearing for some guns, various sound issues, and more.

Ubisoft has also confirmed that a fix for the game freezing or FPS dropping is still under work, and they will release another update soon.

The Y7S3.1 Patch will be deployed at 13:00 UTC for PC, which includes Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Stadia, and Amazon Luna. For Xbox and Playstation users, the update will drop at 14:00 and 15:00 UTC, respectively. The servers will go down for an hour for the patch to be deployed.
