Operation Collision Point is jam-packed with engaging features to become acquainted with, but the main highlight is platform crossplay. This feature allows console players to unite with friends using a PC, and console players battling in Ranked will keep a PC progress rank separate from their console rank. Another important change in the update is improvements to cheater detection to support crossplay, including Mousetrap penalties, and matches with detected cheaters will automatically be canceled. Rainbow Six Siege is considered to be one of the best tactical shooters of all time, and Operation Collision Point is set to launch on December 3 and promises to retain that standard.
Rainbow Six Siege Reveals Operation Collision Point Details
Rainbow Six Siege previously welcomed a handful of changes in Operation Twin Shells, and Operation Collision Point promises to engage new and veteran players even more with this update. In addition to crossplay and more anti-cheat improvements, the Operator Blackbeard has received a remaster, adding a special new variant of the ballistic shield capable of breaching destructible walls and being wielded as a primary weapon. Additionally, ballistic shields’ bash will no longer do damage, and the suppression effect affecting shield-bearers will be easier to target. More balancing updates include lengthening Operator Ying’s Candela fuse, and Sens will be able to toggle ROU Projectors at will.
Rainbow Six Siege fans recently got treated to a crossover with the Payday franchise, the second installment of which is also considered one of the best tactical shooters in video game history. A new cosmetic bundle gave Siege operators Wamai and Zero a Payday makeover, by donning the appearance of popular characters Dallas and Chains during gameplay. The union of two popular shooters provides a lot of fan service, but Rainbow Six Siege is offering enough excitement on its own through the upcoming Operation Collision Point update.
