Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Update from September 22, 2026: More Ammo for Buck and Fixes for “Gor’s Spears”
On September 22, 2026, the Y11S3.1 update was released for Rainbow Six Siege. The developers increased Buck’s ammo capacity, sped up the activation time for the Fenrir and Sledge devices, increased the damage of two shotguns, and fixed bugs, including those related to the Noor device—“Gor’s Spear.” See our article for the full list of changes in Russian.
Operator Changes
Buck
The magazine capacity for the underbarrel shotgun has been increased from 31 to 36. This will allow Buck to create openings for longer and utilize vertical positions throughout the round.
Castle
It now takes 10 hits instead of 9 to destroy an armor panel with melee attacks. The assault squad will have to spend more time clearing a path.
Fenrir
The gas from the F-NATT mine reaches its maximum range in 1.9 seconds instead of 2 seconds. The device will react more quickly to the appearance of an enemy within its radius.
Maestro
The battery life of the Evil Eye camera has been increased from 8 to 9 seconds.
Thermite
The damage dealt by the thermite charge has been increased from 200 to 220 health points. It will be more dangerous for defenders to be near a reinforced surface when it explodes.
Sledge
The wind-up time for “Sledgehammer” has been reduced from 1 to 0.8 seconds.
Weapon Changes
M1014
The shotgun’s damage has been increased from 28 to 30 health points. This change will affect Ace, Castle, Pulse, and Thermite. The developers aim to improve the weapon’s reliability in close combat without increasing its effective range.
SPAS-15
The shotgun’s damage has been increased from 24 to 26 health points. This change will affect Caveira and Thunderbird and should make the weapon more effective at close range.
