Siege senior community developer Eric Pope has now replied to the tweet, confirming that it’s getting patched out in the FPS game’s next major update. This results in there being no audio cue for the player said explosive is being thrown at, leaving them with no time to escape. In a June 27 tweet, Pengu highlighted a C4/grenade bug discovered in Siege which skips some of the sounds you’d expect to hear, like a ‘ping’ sound from a grenade’s spoon flying off, or a Velcro strap when some C4’s being prepped. Now, though, a Ubisoft spokesperson has confirmed that a fix is on the way, and soon. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for comment on the issue and will update this story with any response we get from the team.Last week, Former G2 Esports Siege pro player Niclas ‘Pengu’ Mouritzen posted a bunch of clips on Twitter highlighting an audio glitch that appears to have been present in Rainbow Six Siege for quite some time. He tells us that it’s been openly discussed in Siege’s Latin American scene for at least a year now.īecause it’s useful when you know how to do it, Pengu says players – pros included – haven’t been reporting it to Ubisoft’s Siege team. Worse, Pengu says he’s heard privately from fellow pro Siege players who tell him the bug has been in use in the pro scene for years. Here’s the silent C4 charge in a build dating to Operation Chimera, which came out in 2018: Here’s the silent grenade:Īnd this is from OP health. Pengu says he’s produced the bug on old builds of Siege that date back to Operation Health, which makes it about four years old at this point. Pengu doesn’t explain exactly how he’s managed to reliably produce the bug, but it appears as though he’s triggering the animation while moving from a crouched position to standing. As Pengu’s videos (below) show, the bug stops those sounds from playing, so enemy players don’t get any warning that an explosive is inbound.
The grenade’s spoon flies off and there’s a ‘ping’ sound, or a Velcro strap can be heard when you ready some C4. Normally, there’s a sound cue that’s audible to nearby players when you start to cook off a grenade or prep a C4 charge. Now, a former pro player has been able to replicate the bug, showing that it can be used deliberately to gain an in-game advantage.įormer G2 Esports Siege pro player Niclas ‘Pengu’ Mouritzen has posted videos to Twitter showing the bug in action.
The silent C4/grenade bug has been well-known in the Siege community for some time, but it’s mostly been written off as something that just happens every so often. If you’ve gotten hit with a grenade or C4 explosion out of nowhere in Rainbow Six Siege, it might have been a player exploiting an audio glitch in the multiplayer game.
