Rainbow Six Siege X Patch Y10S4.1 Reverts Limb Damage

Rainbow Six Siege X Patch Y10S4.1 is here, and it’s pretty much all fixes.
Just 10 days after the release of the latest patch, Operation Tenfold Pursuit, Ubisoft has dropped the first hotfix. The major changes see the Limb Damage changed reverted. The change saw Limb Damage from all weapons reduced damage. However, some vocal player feedback has seen the change reverted back to how it was before the Y10S2 patch release.

The changes to limb damage are the main change in the patch release on December 11th, though there were a number of other changes added after initial feedback from the new season, which released earlier in December.

Rainbow Six Siege X Patch Y10S4.1

The changes to Rainbow Six Siege X Patch Y10S4.1 mostly come in the form of fixes, hence the excessive use of the word “FIXED” by Ubisoft in the notes below. Nothing outside of the limb damage change is too meaningful, so we suspect that’s the main reason for the patch. Though we do have to question why it was not done in the release of the patch when the new season launched, rather than waiting an extra 10 days.
