Rainbow Six Siege has today launched its December 14 update on all platforms, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch. Unlike many Rainbow Six Siege patches, introducing a host of map and operator balance changes, this update instead brings about several bug fixes alongside a single change (being a simple HUD tweak). This isn’t a bad thing though, as having the game fixed up helps to improve its health and longevity. You just shouldn’t launch the game expecting a full season update. Without further adieu, here’s everything new with Rainbow Six Siege in its December 14 update!
