The Twitch streamer shroud is an expert in shooters. In the stream he now explained what the biggest problem with Rainbow Six: Siege was.

Who is Shroud? Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is a former CS:GO professional and now a well-known streamer on Twitch.

  • For many fans, shroud is considered a shooter god and has legendary status
  • shroud is primarily known for his gifted aim, which he regularly demonstrates in his streams.
  • On Twitch, shroud has 10.9 million followers and entertained an average of 14,000 viewers over the past 6 months

    • What does shroud say about Rainbow Six Siege? While shroud was streaming live on Twitch, a viewer wrote in the chat that the streamer Summ1t was thinking about playing Rainbow Six: Siege again, but didn’t feel like learning the new maps. Shroud then explained what the biggest problem with Ubisoft’s tactical shooter was.

    According to him, it’s really bad to learn Rainbow Six: Siege and you’ll lose and die a lot during it.

    R6 [Anm,. d. Red.: Rainbow Six: Siege] Learning sucks! But if you can learn it, it feels really good. To put it more clearly: if you learn R6, you only lose! […] You’re just going to die over and over again and it sucks! But if you get through it, it’s good.

    Rainbow Six: Siege is notoriously not beginner-friendly

    Is shroud right? Yes, Rainbow Six: Siege is known for not being particularly beginner-friendly – even though Ubisoft has been making a real effort for some time to bring more and more tools into the game for new players to make it easier for them to get started.

    However, this of course mainly applies to players who don’t have hundreds or even thousands of hours in the tactical shooter. A player who has been playing at the highest ranks for years is more likely to be annoyed by game errors, the current meta or cheaters.

    Nevertheless, the map ban system showed that even experienced players have a problem with learning. New or revised maps such as Emerald Plains or Nighthaven Labs were often banned before players had actually learned the maps.

    Autoplay

    Why is Rainbow Six so difficult to learn? There are currently 25 different maps, all of which are structured differently and sometimes have complicated layouts. To do this, you have to learn which walls and floors are destructible, where the spawns are and which windows or doors the defenders like to use for counterattacks.

    The now over 70 different operators all have different skills that need to be understood and learned and can also take gadgets such as grenades or barbed wire with them. There is also a considerable selection of weapons.

    Once you have the basic understanding of maps, operators, skills, weapons and gadgets, you then have to understand which operator and which gadget is useful when and where.

  • Which operator do I play on which spot on the map?
  • Where should which gadget be placed?
  • Which walls do I need to reinforce?
  • Which walls should I not reinforce?
  • When do I destroy a wall so I can rotate through the hole and when do I just make small holes that you can’t run through/jump through?

    • Ubisoft continues to accommodate new players: At the start of the current season “Deadly Omen”, Rainbow Six: Siege received a display that shows you the trajectory of objects such as grenades before they are thrown.

    In the past few months, the shooter has already received tutorials for new players, operator instructions, a training mode for learning the maps and matches against AI opponents, which replace the terrorist hunt and are intended to better convey the game principle.
