Rainbow Six Siege’s new Y8S2.2 patch is being released today, June 27th, across all platforms.
Siege’s Y8S2.2 patch is set to bring some important audio and bug fixes and tweak the Ranked matchmaking calculations that should lead to fairer matches.
A new option for Defuser Pickup has also been introduced, so players can now choose between Auto, Manual, or Both. The “Both” setting is set by default, and it most likely allows you to pick up the defuser manually by looking at it directly instead of coming near it to pick it up again.
