A skin in ‘Rainbow Six Siege’ is making players incredibly hard to see

A cosmetic skin in Rainbow Six Siege is making players invisible against the game’s reinforced barricades.

The issue was noticed by TeamQueen member Miss Marie R6 who made the post on twitter, saying “Bout to spend 2550k on North Star Uniforms”.

In a follow-up tweet they helpfully highlighted the operator, who was nearly invisible against the reinforcement they were standing in front of.

NME reached out to competitive Rainbow Six Siege analyst and commentator Jess “JessGoat” Bolden who said: “I think there’s a reason every single tournament and league from tier one to tier four has uniform bans. When every single weapon has a TTK (time to kill) of under one second, taking half a second to spot a player means you’re already dead.”

Bolden also said that the creativity of the developers should not be stymied, but rather that there should be an option for operator uniforms to be disabled in casual or ranked, before saying “Is that possible? Probably not.” Bolden also acknowledged that without such a fix, this issue could “potentially be affecting tens of millions of players”.
