For Solis I honestly think reducing the range of her gadget and deactivating it during prep would be enough.

They are way over nerfing her

[@Angelfyre.]

Absolutely, and they didn’t even have the courtesy to give her a secondary shotgun to make rotates. It’s either take the primary shotgun or take the P90 & never make rotates. It’s like these devs don’t even play the game. I’ve always played her with a P90 and I wouldn’t mind giving up the smg11 for a secondary shotgun.

[@andrewbrown4386]

Wish they brought back the old recruit where you could pick the Counter-terrorist organization they were from, where each had unique loadouts relevant to the organization. We got shitty mobile suits, no more 5 recruits, no shield recruit, monthly subscription, nerfs packaged like a seasonal change, and slight changes to stadium bravo. Here's hoping that the anti-cheat update actually does something, but knowing Ubisoft, won't do shit.

[@anso3886]

Yea they should have brought those back and apply the "new" recruits abilities (able to customize weapons, able to be played in standard/ranked, that gaget box thinge) to them instead. That would have been a near perfect remaster as they would had actually remaster the original Idea they had for recruit (which is to introduce people to the basic gagets and guns of the game before "exposing" them to more complex gagets)

[@khub5660]

Community: we want balanced nerfs Goofysoft: Neuters operators entirely instead of making small adjustments The amount of laziness from this dev team is absolutely insane. They removed features just to reimplement them with a different polish and call it new. That is a huge insult to the playerbase but sadly I know the vast majority of us are gullible and/or new enough to believe that the features being reintroduced are new to the game.

If it isn't obvious already, then there is no hope for anyone who doesn't know the economics of what it takes to host a stream of such a lavish scale. Let's just say it costs a LOT of money to host those damn things. And unless their basic nobody crowds that sometimes show up are paying to watch personally, they gain basically nothing from these. The price for hosting this for like an hour likely costs them a thousand+ dollars or so on just the electricity bill alone. You certainly will never get anything of such value in the game... even when they likely cause the price for it to climb to such a similar price point. They could charge $100,000 for a single skin or something, and it'd look like a $1 piece of garbage.

They only know how to remove fun from the game. They'll probably go back and double down on their "no passives" mentality and remove Smoke's immunity to his gas again, or maybe remove Aruni's unique punch from the game. Then they'll go on to say: "We've decided to make changes to Caveira, as her loadout is comprised of four components. For one, she can interrogate, which is what we recognize as her primary ability. Secondly, she has silent step, an additional ability of hers, one which allows her to muffle the sound of her steps and stealthily approach the opposition. The third unique part of her kit is the Luison, a custom variant of the PRB92 which does more damage at the cost of a smaller magazine. Caveira's last ability is that she is able to adjust the lethality of her Luison using voo doo magic or some shit, allowing her to guarantee a down against anyone she would normally eliminate whilst in her "Silent step" mode. We've decided to remove her Silent step, Luison and her ability to manipulate her lethality over the concern that she has too many abilities/passives. We've decided to leave her with the ability to interrogate." - The crack heads on the balancing team at Ubisoft

They made it sound like they completely overhauled a character and their ability, say like what they did with Tachanka. But that was a rework. And these recruits being their 'first remaster' just says to me that their new standard is just a whole lot less effort and quality put into changing the operators. Watch them, as their 'remaster' for blackbeard, just give him a 3rd fucking gun shield and call it there.

[@mreverything7056]

Here's what here this season: - A cool change to barbed wire where they deal damage now. Actually cool change! - Overdue Fenrir and Solis nerfs. Solis has been a year and half, Fenrir has been a year. The changes aren't significant reworks either, it's just stat changes. - "Reworked" Recruit - You can customize the secondary gadgets you bring and you can only bring ONE PER TEAM. You can play them in ranked, with LESS OPTIONS. - Deimos gets grips on his guns. Whoop-dee-do. - No changes to Blackbeard or Sens, who have been criminally underpowered (A personal peeve, I understand if people don't think this is significant) - Replay System will still be buggy. - A FUCKING subscription service being added! Why are THESE the changes we're getting for this season? There's so much more you can do besides stat changes, and even ignoring the nonworking anticheat. Half the content for this season is stuff thats been overdue for a year. I understand why BikiniBodhi is sweating, because these next 3 months are a barren wasteland. I really hope no one buys into that stupid subscription service, Ubi cannot be allowed to get away with these minimal changes.

[@sebastianbenner977]

The reworks on Fenrir and Solis are actually huge. How can you say they're just stat changes? Those things which are not just "stat changes" on Fenrir are: Devices are now destructable, and codes are returned upon destruction. These sound reasonable. As for Solis: Gadget can no longer be used in prep phase. Gadget must be fully charged before being usable. Impacts removed. These are three huge changes, of which only the first is appropriate. F-tier op now. These are not "stat changes". Fenrir's are good for balancing. Solis is trash.

Once again still has capitao’s lmg

Addition: Personally i’m fine with no shield but if he gets a shield we get the dmr back and shield replaces the lmg, just feel like 5 man shields are gonna be…problematic at least because we want 5 man but we also want shields…both would be cool but after the changes…also how tf would itas work with a shield?

"Frost Shotgun is not anymore insanly OP" "Blackbeards Shield get nerfed." "Jäger and Bandit lose their ACQG" "Blackbeard Shield get nerfed." "Valk will lose their cam if they are placed outside of the building" "Blackbeards Weapons doing less damage!" 5:02 its fitting for some parts of the "new" R6S Community.. just saying

[@yolyrodz33]

They’re so bad at balancing their game that they need to hype up simple balance patches because they have literally 0 new content

[@SprayInk-Kreatïv-Nouveau]

​@@yolyrodz33So the indestructible fenrir gadgets were balanced?

[@firesaint4569]

The only bad nerf was solis losing impacts

[@Godxmilkman]

Joshua Mills sittin there looking like one of the Siege AI pictures 🤣

[@KingsNerdCave]

Recruit is supposed to be a fully customizable character with no special gadget, anyone can play it, and they ruined it. The nerfs are good, but barely any balancing and few decent improvements.

[@roganhinchliffe4442]

so what happens if there are 2 players with no operators on the same team? do they both get recruit?

[@killer205568]

IIRC current recruit already does what new recruit will do except change attachments?

[@firesaint4569]

My big downside with the recruits is I feel like they should have more weapons. I don’t even think they should have them all, but the attack should get a shield option, defence I feel like should get the option for a slower but high damage gun like Kaid’s aug, wamai’s aug, or even castle and pulse’s smg. Both should also have the option to have a dmr as well. Striker can have dok’s and sentry can have blackbeards or something like that.

[@AusomeGuy232325]

Love getting exemplary then back to respectable

[@TinkerBobV8]

I miss recruit that could pick any gun and 5 stack. The best changes would have been the new operator models + new cosmetics for them and the "pick any 2 gadgets." Also, the monetization is garbage.

[@Marvin-mq9rk]

Operation health without the health.

[@Bread_Brd]

I want to put my thoughts in what they could’ve done with recruit which has been brewing in my head all of today and what I think could be better. If players could pick what speed/armor stats are. These two stats, if changed, will effect one another so you can’t just pick a 3 speed 3 armor. For both def and atk the options would be 1 spd 3armr, 2 spd 2armr, and 3 spd 1 armr. When stats are changed the loadout of the recruit would change giving you a variety of weapons to try depending on stats. And the recruit would also be given all the gadgets that it has in the new rework, however depending on the stats picked you would be limited on the gadgets you have, forcing you to pick which stat is best for your team comp and would compliment it. To me it give new players a chance to try different play styles without feeling so limited with the options the recruit has now. But I don’t know how hard that would be to make and it is just an idea I had.

[@hibikiverney4146]

All they hat to do was give recruit customization and a shield. But no, they had to fix a simple problem with a complex solution

[@lsyl17]

Add shield to Stryker. Attacker should have access all offense weapons and vice versa for defender having access to defense weapons. They better not fuck up the blackboard re work

[@bearex8922]

what happens if there are two new people with no characters on the same team do they both get recruit? Or like does it just give them a random opp if you cant bring more than 1 recruit now?

[@microsoftpain]

An operator "remaster" is Ubisoft's way of being lazy. They did this with Bandit when they said he could put more than one battery on a wall. Wow!! so unique and cool!!! I have a feeling that they're gonna give Blackbeard a third shield for his changes. All they had to do was keep the ORIGINAL 5 CTU recruits and give them scopes/attachments.

[@bigdaddyjoe4664]

With that last comment about sitting down the same way Ubisoft did, you could make a collaboration video with other R6 content creators and industry leaders in the same style as the panel where you present changes the community actually wants to see. If Ubisoft is open to hearing feedback, then give it to them. Will it actually change things? Maybe not, but there would still be a clear and direct message for Ubisoft to listen to.

[@doomham7652]

What happens if 2 or more dudes have no operators now thats theres just 1 recruit?

[@mdlsn2536]

the best memories i had on siege was Recruits, 5v 5 recruits on ranked was the best and lot of fun back then

[@KJ-je9pm]

Been playing since launch with 4000 hours and im officially out. Fuck Ubisoft.

[@aiko9728]

ey me too its hard letting go of the game but its healthy because i still played even when the game lost its atmosphere and i just played in fear because i knew the game was way better

[@AnxientFilms]

bros aura: “actshhually 🤓☝️”

[@ethankly12]

It's actually so easy to rework recruit better than they did. Give them their own operator page in the menu. Let them choose any combo of guns and 2 gadgets. In the appearance section give them a few copy pasted headgears that are different colored berets based on county of origin/associated military. Purple for Brits, orange for US, blue for French, etc, etc. Then have an option for body type/gender that barely changes anything. And finally a skin color picker that's like white, brown, black, and tan or whatever. If you wanna go real hard you let us customize the armor/speed ratio - could even throw in some extra padding based on armor level to give a visual indicator to enemies.

[@daesz]

giving him observation blocked sounds more like "he has only 1 secondary option now"

[@TheborjPL]

"We saw recruit as this meme gameplay" *proceeds to remove the thing that made recruit a meme*

[@Lightning_aus]

20:11 anyone else notice they put the 552 commando image instead of the commando 9??/ god these devs do not play their own game wtf

[@vuquangdung6024]

I see that the word "rework" is being throwed willy nilly in r6, my guess, BB rework gonna belike "shield hp+5, speed +1% with shield on"

[@mrdarkk9234]

[@mrdarkk9234]

hot takes: i do not like recruit having shields although letting them have other weapons would be nice.... (Sorry varsity)

[@mrrager13]

Varsity must be excited to get another season away from the Gonne-6 incident. However, we’ll never stop reminding him of it 😂

[@BC-SA]

This is why Evan gets sponsored by Ubisoft lol
