Rainbow Six Siege X director says free currency gain has been ‘buffed’ after complaints: ‘The goal wasn’t to make it a harder grind for players’

Ubisoft is implementing changes to the Renown currency in Rainbow Six Siege X in response to player feedback about reduced Renown rewards, especially after match losses. This decline in rewards has raised concerns among veteran players regarding a potential shift towards monetization in the game's free-to-play model. Renown is crucial for unlocking new operators and acquiring skins without additional costs. Ubisoft's Karpazis acknowledged the community's concerns and stated that they are analyzing data to ensure XP boosters remain effective. Players can expect further adjustments as the developers listen to feedback. Siege X features a new 6v6 mode called Dual Front, which allows for respawns and combines attackers and defenders on the same team.

Rainbow Six Siege is getting its first permanent mode in 10 years, and it throws every Siege rule out the window

Dual Front is a new permanent 6v6 mode in Rainbow Six Siege, developed as part of Siege X for the game's 10th anniversary. It redefines the Bomb format by expanding lobby size, allowing respawns, and enabling attackers and defenders to collaborate on the same team. New mechanics include the "destabilization" of zones that remain uncaptured, which accelerates the capture process once fully destabilized. A secondary objective in the neutral zone requires teams to escort a hostage, enhancing collaboration. The mode will debut in Year 10 Season 2, while the classic 5v5 Bomb format will remain a key focus for Ubisoft.
