Rainbow Six Siege Y11S2.1 Patch Notes Detail Dokkaebi Nerf, Operator Buffs

Ubisoft has released the Y11S2.1 patch for Rainbow Six Siege, bringing a significant Dokkaebi nerf and several quality-of-life buffs for other operators, alongside numerous bug fixes.

Balancing Changes

Dokkaebi receives a crucial adjustment to her JEGEO PAYLOAD ability. A 7-second cooldown has been introduced to limit consecutive activations, reducing constant pressure on Defenders and creating clearer engagement windows. This change emphasizes timing and coordination for Dokkaebi players.

Refinement Changes

Several operators received minor adjustments aimed at polishing gameplay and improving consistency without altering their overall power levels.

• Sens: The R.O.U. PROJECTOR SYSTEM battery duration increased to 15 seconds (from 13 seconds), offering more flexibility.
• IQ: Her ELECTRONICS DETECTOR range increased to 22 meters (from 20 meters), providing more comfort during use.
• Ash: BREACHING ROUND explosive damage range increased to 2.2m (from 2m), making deployments less precision-dependent.
• Finka: ADRENAL SURGE cooldown reduced to 18 seconds (from 20 seconds), allowing for faster charge availability and better team coverage.
• Thatcher: E.G.S. DISRUPTOR effect radius increased to 1.85 meters (from 1.75 meters), making it easier to group multiple gadgets into a single throw without increasing overall power.
• Thorn: RAZORBLOOM SHELL limping effect duration reduced to 10 seconds (from 15 seconds), making successful escapes slightly more forgiving.
• SC3000K (Zero): Recoil has been smoothed for both M&K and Controller, improving consistency and comfort without affecting overall effectiveness.
• Bulletproof Camera: EMP Dart Explosion Range increased to 0.75m (from 0.55m), making each activation more impactful.
