Rainbow Six Siege Y5S4.1 Update Adds Custom Timers, Bug Fixes, And Some General Changes

Ubisoft, the developer of Rainbow Six Siege, released an update that brings in custom game timers. This feature will be amazing for players of competitive matches or random games in custom lobbies. The default timeout is set to 10 minutes but can be changed in the menu settings.

The new update also fixes some issues. One, it fixes the issue where players can plant under the bomb site like in the Theme Park bunk. Two, it resolves the rappel animation issues on maps like Skyscraper and Plane. This means you can now rappel without fearing dropping at random. Third, it addresses several LOD issues on the reworked Skyscraper map. It is now much easier to see the objectives.

Fourth, it corrects a major issue with Montagne being able to extend his shield and kill an opponent at the same time. And fifth, it patches general issues with operators. More information can be found in the patch notes.
