Rainbow Six Siege update 1.40 for PS4 and Xbox One is now available for download. According to the official Rainbow Six Siege 1.40 patch notes, there is an upgrade to Kapkan’s Entry Denial Device, a new Elite set for Jäger, more weapon balancing, and bug fixes.
Kapkan is now updated to have five traps with trip lasers that fade and disappear once deployed. However, the traps will no longer kill Operators instantly. Instead, they will deal 60 damage to 1-armor Operators. Kapkan will also be increased to a 2-speed Operator from a 1-speed, allowing him to cover more ground quickly. Check out more details below.
Rainbow Six Siege Update 1.40 Patch Notes
REWORKED OPERATORS
KAPKAN CARRIES 5 ENTRY DENIAL DEVICES: THEY ARE HARDER TO SEE AND DEAL 60 DAMAGE EACH
The trip laser will fade to the extent of disappearing after deployment. This comes at a cost, as the traps will no longer be instant kills, dealing a 60 HP damage. Thanks to his improved traps, Kapkan will also gain in speed. He will now be a 2-speed Operator, instead of 1-speed.
BLITZ CAN NOW SPRINT WITH HIS SHIELD EXTENDED
With the latest Rainbow Six Siege version 1.40 update, Blitz can now able to sprint with his shield still protecting him.
ELA’S SMG IS GETTING A RECOIL BALANCE, & SHE IS LOSING A GRZMOT MINE.
Ela will now only have 3 Grzmot Mines. Rainbow Six Siege update 1.40 has raised the speed at which you reach maximum recoil, while also increasing the impact of the maximum recoil.
JÄGER ELITE
With Rainbow Six Siege version 1.40, the Flying Ace Elite set will see your enemy’s grenades falling from the sky in no time. Each set includes a matching Uniform and Headgear, Operator Card, Operator Title, Charm, and a Signature Victory Animation.
Network Improvements in Rainbow Six Siege version 1.40
LATENCY ALIGNMENT
With Rainbow Six Siege update 1.40, latency alignment is a change that allows the server to mirror the reaction time of a shooter with an unstable connection more accurately.
PAWN-TO-PAWN PHYSICS
Rainbow Six Siege update 1.40 has reduced the upper limit on the latency required to initiate extra hit validation steps.
HIT VALIDATION IMPROVEMENTS
The game developers are also optimizing the replication of actions. The result is a more responsive experience for all players and a reduction of latency.
PROCESSING DELAY + PING
Currently, the ping value displayed in the menus includes the processing delay. This is misleading, since running at a faster frame rate results in lower ping values being shown. We are removing this processing delay from the ping value.
CONNECTIVITY ICONS
With Rainbow Six Siege update 1.40, the game developers are implementing a series of adjustments that will help you monitor the status of your client, of the server, and of your network connection.
OTHER CHANGES
LONE WOLF TERRORIST HUNT RENOWN
Renown in Situations and Lone Wolf Terrorist Hunt will be earned based on the amount of time you spend playing, as opposed to your total score at the end of the game.
