Earlier today Rainbow Six Siege community manager Ubi_Ludo revealed that the competitive multiplayer will be undergoing some changes in Year 3 Season 2. Below is the post in full, which details the updates coming to Scanning, Values, and Scoring.
In Season 2, we will be adjusting the existing scoring system for Operators and drone scanning. The goal is to balance the current system to have every Operator potentially winning a similar amount of score.
Drone Scanning:
With drones, we would like to improve behavior and encourage more team play by removing the incentive to ping just for score.
- The first scan and following scanned event are removed.
- Enemy ID is now a team score. When someone ID’s an enemy, the score is now given to the whole team, which stays at 10 points.
Operator Values
Certain Operator actions will now be adjusted to reflect this new scoring refactor process. For example, it is Bandit’s job to deploy his Shock Wire, however, destroying an enemy gadget with it is a behavior worth rewarding.
Below you can find the exact Operator scoring changes coming to Season 2 (NEW VALUE/OLD VALUE):
- MIRA

In other Year 3 Season 2 news, Operation Para Bellum is almost here. Alongside a new map called Villa, the operation will introduce two new Italian defense Operators, Maestro and Alibi. Maestro will be an expert in blocking access to key locations and will be able to see through smoke and mirrors. Alibi is a bit more of a mystery but alongside being “designed to find clever ways to exploit the attackers’ tactics,” her video displays what looks to be a decoy or lure ability.
Rainbow Six Siege Year 3 Season 2 will likely begin June 5th, but dates will be confirmed at the Pro League Finals this weekend.
