Rainbow Six Siege gets loot boxes in new update

4.8
For the first time in Rainbow Six Siege, you’ll be able to earn cosmetic loot crates just by playing.


Rainbow Six Siege received a new update 2.11 this week, and alongside it, Ubisoft added a new way for players to acquire cosmetic items in the form of loot crates.

Called Alpha Packs, these boxes will come with some of the already existing cosmetic items as well as some new Legendary-level items only found in them. What you get in the packs include weapon skins, character customisation items like helmets, weapon charms and so on.

Alpha Packs are earned by just playing the game, but Ubisoft has yet to actually explain how the system works in more details. There’s also no word on whether or not you’ll be able to spend real money to buy these packs.

Although they are part of patch 2.11, Alpha Packs are actually on a separate release schedule that’s going to automatically make them available on every platform gradually, so as not to impact performance. You can see a video of YouTuber Jytus unboxing over 200 of them below (via RPS).

Liking the update so far, for once loot boxes in a game was a good idea.

SupervisorPosted:

I hope they didnt screw up the game adding this shit. I haven't played in awhile but i really enjoyed R6S

TOXICPosted:

Was a pretty good update.

SakonPosted:

I have a ton of renown I can spend on these. Hopefully I get some cool stuff when they drop.

RickPosted:

I always new there was a reason I never spend my renown before. Got a little over 500k hopefully I can get lucky with a few packs when they finally release them

EchoPosted:

rip R6S. one of my favourites. I'm hoping atleast for cosmetic's only

I really hope this is all cosmetic. Payday 2 introduced stat boosts with their skins so I'm hoping Ubisoft won't make that same mistake with these skins.

Oh god what's with these Loot Boxes on these futuristic games these days, well that's one way to pull a crap ton of money in the business.

Maj Hopefully they don't introduce these as paid items as well. Micro transactions kill games IMO


even if they did it wouldn't matter there is nothing in these packs other then cosmetic items
