Ubisoft plans to introduce a new ‘Hardcore’ playlist to Rainbow Six Siege next year that offers a “more realistic” experience, the publisher has revealed.
Discussing the new playlist on the game’s forums, Ubisoft explained that it had yet to confirm exactly how the playlist will differ to the current ‘Casual’ and ‘Ranked’ playlists, but that it was considering reducing the game’s HUD, removing teammate outlines and score indicators, and displaying mag count instead of ammo count.
The new Hardcore settings will be available to test in Custom Games via a new title update due to release in mid-December, with the intention to roll them out to dedicated servers as soon as possible in 2016.
Meanwhile, Ubisoft also intends to make the current Casual and Ranked playlists feel “as close and consistent as possible” in the hope that casual players will feel more “welcome to try a more ‘competitive’ playlist and get a rating for their performances, without having to re-learn or re-adapt to new settings”.
“Similarly, Ranked players should feel compelled to launch in Casual, either to play without ‘ladder anxiety’ or just to try out a new strategy or Operator, Ubisoft continued. “For these reasons we are re-synching HUD on Ranked and Casual.”
The changes to Casual and Ranked will be introduced via the same title update later this month.
