Operation System Override took Rainbow Six Siege by storm when it launched on June 2, bringing a major Dokkaebi rework, the new-yet-familiar Calypso Casino map, and a competitive overhaul with Ranked 3.0. Now, halfway through the season, the development team is implementing additional Operator balancing, mouse and keyboard support for consoles, a limited-time event, a Ranked map rotation, and rotating Operator trials.
1v1 Arcade Returns Today
The fan-favorite limited-time event is back, bringing Siege’s intense tactical gameplay into a fast-paced, 1v1 duel environment. A pure test of your skill, the 1v1 arcade is filled with short, high-intensity matches that focus on gunplay, movement, and gadget skill. Gameplay was designed based on community feedback, and features shorter matches, less downtime, and more variety. Some changes from the last iteration include:
Updated map pool: House has been removed, with Coastline, Consulate, and Outback added. There are 5 total maps (up from 3)
The 1v1 arcade is out now and runs for two weeks, so don’t miss a moment of the action!
