Rainbow Six Siege`s latest DLC, Operation Chimera, is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on March 6, and with it now live on the Technical Test Server, Ubisoft has released its patch notes. In addition to adding the two new Operators, Finka and Lion, and the new co-op Outbreak event, the update introduces some gameplay tweaks and changes a bunch of Operators.Ela has been a popular pick since her release, but she`s to be nerfed in the new update, as Ubisoft believes she is still `picked way too often.` Her SMG will suffer from increased recoil and deal less damage than before, and her impact grenades have been replaced by a deployable shield. `She was too good at doing all the roaming work by herself,` the developer said, `preparing rotations, being warned by Concussion mines, and of course killing with her SMG. This loadout change will force her to rely on teammates for rotation holes, or to pick the shotgun if she wants to do them herself.`Kapkan is also exchanging his barbed wire for impact grenades, as he apparently had too many tasks during the preparation phase as it was. `Having impact grenades for faster rotations is a better fit for his playstyle,` Ubisoft states.The final Operator tweak pertains to Blitz, who has been made a 2 speed / 2 armor Operator, having previously been 1 speed / 3 armor. The reasoning for this is that `making Blitz faster is the next logical step to making him a more attractive choice and help him close the gap, as he really shines when he manages to get in close quarter with isolated defenders.`Ubisoft has also changed a few things regarding reloads. After the coming patch, you`ll be able to interrupt a reload animation by aiming down a weapon`s sights. If you do interrupt a reload (by any method) and then reload again shortly afterward, you`ll be able to resume it after some key moment--after throwing away an old magazine, for example--rather than having to undergo the entire animation again.Patch 3.1`s final big tweaks are the rem ...
