Rainbow Six Siege Y11S1.1 Patch Notes: Operator Buffs and Bug Fixes

Rainbow Six Siege has released the Y11S1.1 patch, introducing a series of operator balance changes, weapon adjustments, and various bug fixes to improve gameplay.

Balancing Changes

Several operators received adjustments aimed at refining their roles and improving overall game flow:

• FLORES
  • RCE-RATERO CHARGE: Reduced delay to exit the drone after triggering the explosion to 1 second (from 2). This change allows Flores to follow up behind his drone more quickly, enhancing his pacing during pushes.
• IANA
  • GEMINI REPLICATOR: Duration increased to 18 seconds (from 15). The extended duration provides Iana with additional time to gather intel using her Gemini.
• JÄGER
  • ACTIVE DEFENSE: Cooldown reduced to 9 seconds (from 10). A shorter cooldown helps Jäger respond more consistently to staggered projectile threats.
• NØKK
  • HEL PRESENCE REDUCTION: Duration increased to 13 seconds (from 10). This longer duration grants Nøkk more freedom to take calculated risks while her ability is active.
• ROOK
  • ARMOR PACK: Additional health increased to 25 hp (from 20). The increased health boost improves the overall survivability of Rook's teammates.
• WAMAI
  • MAG-NET SYSTEM: Activation time reduced to 1.5 seconds (from 2). Reducing the activation time makes Wamai more responsive when deploying his gadgets.

Weapon Adjustments

Two weapons received damage buffs:

• M12
  • BASE STATS: Damage increased to 42 hp (from 40).
  • OPERATORS AFFECTED: Caveira
• POF-9
  • BASE STATS: Damage increased to 37 hp (from 35).
  • OPERATORS AFFECTED: Sens
