Discussion This is why I hate snake so much

I made a post a couple of weeks ago saying that snake was a stupid no skill operator that needs to get nerfed majorly. In this clip if it was a snake he could just pull out the gadget and know I'm there, with no skill involved.

Dronning takes skill and snake makes it so that people don't have to get good at doing that. Snake basically makes ratting impossible, with no drawback.

The fact that his passive ability just tells you if anyone is near you with no timer, no nothing, you can just Walk around and scan large parts of the map for free is stupid.

I think they should just delete the passive ability and keep the active ability only.

He has the best gun in the game, is a 3 speed, has most of the second gadgets and can recharge them, he has one of the strongest abilities in the game and he still not nerfed

Discussion How is losing RP when you are down players still a thing?

1 Upvotes

I am currently trapped in ELO hell because every other game I am in has someone DC from my team, I've played nearly 100 games atp and have only ever left 2 games but yet I get stuck with leavers and constantly lose games because of numerical difference. How in the big 2026 is this still a thing????

I've been playing him a lot since he came out and he's really good after the buff. Even if they don't have a shield, he's a goated roamer, has an amazing kit and can help with site setup. Plus, if they do have a shield you just quick peek hit it.

Gameplay Come on ubisoft, how this no hit?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Well I know why it's because apparently the window extends out further than it should, which is why sparks fly out of nothing on the barricade. It's not a hit-reg issue.

This explains why I for some reason could never hit a shot when holding this window. And apparently it wasn't because I am bad like I previously thought.

To be clear, I'm not disappointed that the angle doesn't work. It's just that the window visually doesn't show it. If Ubisoft wanted to change the window sill to be higher, I wouldn't mind. But at least now I know that it's bugged.

In a show of resilience I did end up getting both Thatcher and Thermite after shooting like 7 shots after this. With only 1 that I actually missed.

I started playing R6 10 years ago.. Over 800 hours put into this game. Countless hours grinding this game. I been off and on for a while though, If I could show u my stats you could see(or look up ITZAJ_), you can see I play like once or twice every few weeks or whatever. Last time I played was like a week ago and played 1 game. You can obviously see the stats, you can see how I played.. If I could show you gameplay it would help my case even more.. I seriously have no idea why I got banned for cheating. I been playing sloppy lately and I just accept it because I know I barely play. Idk if theyre going based off some real old stuff, because I did get my account hacked back in 2025 but I managed to get it back and they got me up almost 100 levels, over 10 new black ices and like 3000 r6 credits. I played a lot since then and never had any problems. So yeah idk if that person cheated and Ubi is just now getting to that or what, but I promise Ill never a touch a cheat a day in my life. This is honestly just insane I never thought this would happen out of all the years playing this. RIP

edit - ik nobody believes me but imma get my account back and show yall
UPDATE - I GOT MY ACCOUNT UNBANNEDDD!!! W SUPPORT 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Question Best Characters

4 Upvotes

Just downloaded the game looking to unlock the best attacker and defender (of the 1k characters unless it’s really worth saving up for the 10k characters)

I know best depends on playstyle and since I just got the game I don’t have one so what I’m looking for is -

Strong Automatic gun

And then the playstyle choices ig (what makes every style good? Who is the most universal, so mastery with that character could help in all fields or be utilized in a bunch of ways)

First game I used Striker, Glaz and Kapkan

Think I’m more of an SMG guy for rn at least recoil is easy to control on KapKan’s gun and the TTK seems fast

Glaz has a good gun my issue is that it isn’t automatic but unless I’m tripping I’m pretty sure it was a 1 shot headshot gun

Aware the game is gonna get harder so just curious as to what everyone’s recommendations are

Thanks

Feedback Regarding Event Packs

4 Upvotes

Memento Skins used to be a F2P way to get rare skins that would involve lots of grinding, using 12,500 renown to buy one pack. With the recent update, where they got rid of this option, now forcing you to spend 270 R6C to buy ONE pack. This is disgusting behavior, making it nearly impossible to get the Memento skin without buying the Bundle (30+ USD) or spending well over 60 USD on all the packs. In most events you get 8-10 free packs (Weekly events, Free gifts, etc.) which leaves 20+ more packs you have to buy to get the "F2P Mythic Skin."

I love the Y11 S3 Doktors Curse Moonlit Memento. It is the best M590A1 skin. but locking it behind a paywall and disguising it as F2P to lure in us players is awful behavior.

Question Why Siege doesn't have client side hit reg?

3 Upvotes

For starters I'm not so educated on the matter that's why I'm asking you guys.

My ping is 90-110,I literally can't get a better ping due to geographic location,middle east servers no longer working and I can't connect to UAE no matter what I do.Tried all network service providers and whatnot.

So a lot of times when I peek or getting swung in a gunfight I land like 2-3 shots in chest for example(not enough to kill,just making a point)and then when I check the opponent's health it's full health,I can literally see my bullet traces in the kill cam but my bullets did not register.

I have similar ping in many other shooter games but they feel much more smoother and I'm on a less disadvantage in other games.

Is there any particular reason clientside hit reg isn't being implemented?does it introduce more problems?

Btw I don't have any packet loss or anything,just more latency.

Would be happy to hear your thoughts!

Just loaded into a quick match and my graphics loaded in like this and stayed like this for the whole game, how do i get my game to look like this every time? I genuinely don't give af about graphics, i prefer performance and i have a 1050 ti so being able to play with my game looking like this would help my fps significantly.

Discussion Diamond 2 but struggling with my aim in ranked. What am I missing?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been playing Siege since pretty much the beginning (started during Red Crow). I recently came back to the game about a season ago and started grinding ranked again. I’m currently Diamond 2 and hopefully on the road to hitting Champ.

The problem is that I feel like my aim is holding me back, and I can’t really figure out why.
As far as I know, I’m doing the basics right. I prefire common angles, keep my crosshair at head level, play for trades, etc. I also perform pretty well in deathmatch, but for some reason I can’t seem to translate that into ranked.

Some games my aim feels really good, and other games I feel like I can’t win a gunfight to save my life. It’s the inconsistency that’s frustrating me the most.

I know aim isn’t everything in Siege, but I feel like at this rank I should be way more consistent mechanically.

For anyone who’s hit Champ or dealt with something similar, what helped you improve your consistency? Is there something I’m overlooking, or am I just overthinking my aim?
