Rainbow Six Siege’s new patch will make it easier to punish teamkillers

The new update for Rainbow Six Siege will add a report button and ranked killcams to the multiplayer shooter, along with a number of new tweaks and fixes.

Ubisoft has announced that patch 2.2 for Rainbow Six Siege will be available today on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

The new update will add an abundance of new fixes and improvements to the game, with the most important being the addition of a report button.

Ever since it launched in December 2015, Siege has suffered from a huge team-killing problem. Players would join a game only to slaughter their team before hiding away.

It’s a common issue, so it’s nice to see Ubisoft directly addressing the problem. The use of a report button should make it easier to find and punish such players.
