Patch Notes for the Rainbow Six Siege Y8S3.3 Update
Operator Balancing
Frost
- Operators who fall onto a Welcome Mat will be able to remove it from their leg by themselves or with the help of a teammate.
- Operators who fall onto a Welcome Mat are considered down. R6 allows a player to be downed only once per round; if they have been downed already, they will be eliminated if they fall onto a Welcome Mat.
- If Operators remove the trap without the help of a teammate, a debuff will be applied to them for 60 seconds with these effects:
- Move 20% slower and can’t sprint.
- Leave a trail of blood behind.
- Health is set to 20, the same health you get after standing up from being down.
