Rainbow Six: Siege has launched a Japanese-themed event.

Fans of tactical team shooting have time. To Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: The Siege new limited-time Rengoku event is comingwhich we can play May 17

You can try a new challenge in a new 5 on 5 capture the flag like mode with rebirth after death. Your task take three altars, to get them, you need to stand nearby for some time. It moves every two minutes and should be busy again. Defending them will give you favor, but if your enemy takes it, the enemy team will gain favor.

This in-game event is completely different from what we’ve seen so far in Rainbow Six: Siege.

Ubisoft wrote on the official Rainbow Six: Siege Twitter account: “It’s a wild ride for those who find the flames, capture the altars, and earn the favor of the gods to gain their freedom.“.

Everything happens on the map Skyscraperspecially adapted for this event. The card is dressed in Japanese style plus new skins.

In the Rengoku event, we will only be playing with a limited number of operators with predetermined equipment. Operators with other names in this mode will not be able to use their main abilities, they will be replaced with event ones, i.e. kunaye.

The strangest thing about this event is that all operators will be equipped shotgun and kunai with special abilities. One direct shot ensures that the enemy operator dies immediately… and if you miss, a wrong shot can take the place of several pump-action shotgun blasts.

Throwing knives will serve not only to instantly destroy the enemy, their special abilities will help you get to the key points of the map and then protect them. But knife throwing skills are nothing new, we know them from the classic game Rainbow Six: Siege, where they are widely used by operators. One type of kunaie acts as an operator ability called Nomad, simply knocking down players who would be in the kunaie’s area. Blinding and fire kunai are also confirmed to create fire at the point of impact.

You can buy new skins for the duration of the game event. they will stay however, you even after it has ended. Purchases are possible through event packages, from which one of the skins will drop. The package contains only event skins and can be purchased with in-game currency, with paid credits, or can be obtained free for completing limited battle pass missions. You will earn in-game currency as you play. If you don’t want to try your luck with packs, you can get skins directly with paid credits.
