Ubisoft Montreal introduces shotgun rework for Rainbow Six Siege

Highlights

Ubisoft Montreal has introduced an update for Rainbow Six Siege that significantly buffs shotguns, improving their accuracy and destructiveness, thus increasing their versatility. The shotgun rework has the potential to impact the game’s meta, particularly for defending operators, and the M870 shotgun is expected to stand out as a powerful weapon in the updated gameplay.

The reactions to the shotgun rework are mixed, with some fans embracing the viability of shotguns for medium-range encounters, while others believe it has made Rainbow Six Siege more like Fortnite and strayed from its tactical FPS roots.

This shotgun rework is far from the only set of changes introduced in the Y8S3 patch.

The latest season also debuted a new Rainbow Six Siege operator named Ram that some players criticized as a textbook example of power creep.
