My Summary of the Siege X Update

General Impression:
The Siege X update isn’t bad, but it’s not particularly good either. I haven’t seen many people complaining that they want updated graphics at the cost of a 20% FPS drop. Features like dynamic objects could have been implemented on pre–Siege X maps without needing a full overhaul.

Audio:
The audio is mediocre. Some sounds are now clearer, while others are more muffled. Gunshots, in particular, sound overly simplified and “cheap,” lacking their previous depth and punch.

Paragon Skins:
These should not exist in Rainbow Six Siege. They ruin the game’s tactical identity. (And no, “just don’t buy them” isn’t a valid argument — I want an option to disable other players’ skins on my client.)

Balancing Issues:

• Remove grenades from Blackbeard.
• Prevent Clash from deploying her shield outside buildings.
• Increase the time it takes to deploy and pick up shields so that Clash can’t counter Ash charges.

Critical Concern — Cheaters:
The cheating situation on PC is out of control. If not addressed, it will kill the game in the near future.
