NEW MAP: FORTRESS
NEW MAP: FORTRESS
![[2018-11-09]New Map: Fortress](https://ubistatic19-a.akamaihd.net/resource/en-us/game/news/rainbow6/siege-v3/r6_live_y3s3_img_map_keyart-min_337317%281%29_337317.jpg)
Our Level Designers are excited to finally present a fortress map for a game with “Siege” in its name. This large daytime map features a mudbrick kasbah and iconic architecture unique to the southern region of Morocco. The imposing main entrance greets all visitors with its two towers and Kasbah Sehkra Mania written above the archway.
Based on real and existing structures, the many exterior stairs provide unprecedented access to the roof and drop-down points via the towers. Housed within the fortified and bare walls of the Kasbah are two floors of living and training space, each with its distinct rooms and halls. The multiple stairs and a ladder allow for rotations between floors. The map offers a variety of open space, points of cover, and lines of sight for both close and long range engagements.
A section of the Fortress is newly renovated, including the resident Commander’s office, bedroom, and private hammam. Players will find widespread use of decorative ornaments, luxurious furniture, painted ceilings and a massive chandelier. The zellige tilework, mashrabiya woodwork and marble surfaces are just some of the finishing touches to this section. There’s also a room dedicated to all the previous commanders. Their portraits adorn the walls, reminding all of the importance of tradition.
The other section of the Kasbah appears older and has yet to be renovated due to the constant flow of incoming soldiers eager for elite training. Rooms such as the dormitory, cafeteria and briefing room still show the original interior décor and furnishings of the Fortress. The Art Team aimed to make the two sections distinguishable from each other, allowing players to better orient themselves on this new map at any given time.
This is the first map heavily associated with an Operator. As such, the Dev Team created a fortress fit for a commander atop a hill with a 360° view.

NEW DEFENDER: KAID
NEW DEFENDER: KAID
![[2018-11-13]Kaid Blog](https://ubistatic19-a.akamaihd.net/resource/en-us/game/news/rainbow6/siege-v3/r6_live_y3s3_img_kaid_op_keyart-min_337276__337276.jpg)
COMMANDER. LEADER. LEGEND.
MEET KAID, THE TRADITIONALIST.
Early in his career with the Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie, he demonstrated natural leadership skills which later led to his promotion as Captain. When the reputable Kasbah Sehkra Mania required a new successor, all eyes turned to Kaid to guide the future of Moroccan Special Forces. The stoic and imposing leader became the 8th Commander at the country’s famed Fortress.
Kaid abides by strict values and he leads by example. Over the years, his teaching methods and leadership style have proven to be effective. The Fortress gained accolades and its reputation continues to rise, making Kaid arguably the most successful resident Commander at the famous Kasbah.
He teaches all incoming soldiers to be self-reliant. This is a skill that his former graduate and the new Attacker on Rainbow Six has taken to heart. Often labelled a “traditionalist”, Kaid firmly believes that over-reliance on technology can be an Operator’s downfall. He’s curious to see how many of Rainbow's specialists can adapt on the field without high tech assistance. However, protecting the Fortress is his top priority and his spider-inspired gadget can complement his security systems. Kaid’s "Rtila" Electroclaw can electrify reinforced walls and hatches, barbed wire, and deployable shields.
Above all, Kaid is the embodiment of dedication and duty, so much so that he sacrificed a personal life for the success of the Kasbah. Moroccan military personnel look up to him, both figuratively and literally as he guides their future from his home and castle.
Jalal “Kaid” El Fassi is the new Defender joining Rainbow Six.

2 STEP VERIFICATION RANKED LOCK UPDATE FOR PC
![[2018-11-26] 2 Step Verification Header](https://ubistatic19-a.akamaihd.net/resource/en-us/game/news/rainbow6/siege-v3/2fa_header_340675.png)
Earlier this year, we announced our plans to activate mandatory Two Step Verification for PC players in order to play Ranked.
We are excited to announce that ranked lock for PC will be activated on December 11th, 2018 in Europe, Middle East, Africa, North America and South America. If you are a PC player playing on the data centers for these regions and you want to play Ranked, you will need to have 2 Step Verification activated on your account by December 11th. For APAC data centers, this lock will happen at a later date.
FAQ
What is 2SV?
2-Step Verification is a system that allows you to add an extra layer of security to your account. You can find more info here.
How do I activate 2SV?
Why do I need to activate it in order to play ranked?
Account security is very important to us, and this is the next step to ensure that players participating in Ranked have a secured account.
What do I get for enabling 2SV?
Three things:
- An extra layer of security in your account
- The possibility to play Ranked after December 11th.
- A free Thermite bundle if you activate 2SV before December 11th.
Why is the lock not happening in all regions at the same time?
EU and NA have enough players with 2SV enabled to ensure a positive matchmaking experience.
What happens if I don’t enable 2SV?
You will still be able to access the game and play Situations, Terrorist Hunt and Casual, but not Ranked.
I am having issues accessing my account because of 2SV, what do I do?
What if I lose my authenticator and my back up codes?
You will need to get in touch with our Support team.
Can I disable 2SV?
I play on console; do I need to activate 2SV to play ranked?
No, this requirement only affects PC players.
Can I get the Thermite skin even if I play on console?
No, this reward is only available for PC players.
