Rainbow Six Siege’s Y11S2.3 Patch Will Speed Up Hibana and Oryx, Fix Console Issues

Ubisoft has published the Y11S2.3 patch notes ahead of Rainbow Six Siege’s next update. The notes do not include a release date, so these changes remain upcoming rather than live.

When the patch arrives, Hibana’s X-Kairos will detonate in 3.8 seconds instead of 4, while Oryx’s Remah Dash will recharge in 5 seconds instead of 8. Maverick gets more Breaching Torch fuel, and Mute’s Signal Disruptors receive wider coverage. Impact EMP Grenades and the Reaper MK2 are also getting adjustments.

What Y11S2.3 changes

Most of the operator tuning gives utility-focused characters more flexibility. Hibana and Fuze can complete key actions sooner, Maverick gets more ammunition for opening walls, and Oryx can use his dash more often. Tubarão and Mute gain extra gadget range, while Impact EMP Grenades cover a slightly larger area.

The update also includes a Reaper MK2 recoil change for both Mouse & Keyboard and controller players. The bug fixes cover map interactions, outside detection, concussion effects, shield hitboxes, input settings, controller lobby placement, Locker visuals, and an infinite-loading issue affecting five-player PvE Quick Match squads.

Rainbow Six Siege Y11S2.3 Patch Notes

Here is the complete list of operator, equipment, weapon, and bug-fix changes included in the upcoming update.

CHANGES TO OPERATORS

HIBANA

“Hibana’s X-Kairos already offers a high degree of flexibility, but deploying pellets can sometimes leave her exposed for longer than intended. This small adjustment reduces the delay before detonation, allowing her to act more quickly after committing utility.”

X-KAIROS

• X-Kairos detonation timer reduced to 3.8s (was 4s).

MAVERICK

“Resource management is a core part of Maverick’s gameplay. Increasing the available fuel gives players a bit more flexibility when creating openings, making the Breaching Torch more forgiving, without changing its overall role.”

BREACHING TORCH

• Increased canister ammo to 160 (was 144).
• Total ammo increased to 320 (was 288).

FUZE

“Fuze’s Cluster Charges can be difficult to deploy on reinforced surfaces without exposing him to defenders. This small speed increase improves responsiveness and allows him to execute plays more reliably.”

CLUSTER CHARGE

• Reduced breaching time on reinforced surfaces and Armor Panels to 1.75s (was 2s).

TUBARÃO

“The Zoto Canister’s area of effect plays a key role in controlling space and denying actions. This small increase improves coverage and placement forgiveness, making its impact more consistent.”

ZOTO CANISTER

• Increased Zoto Canister range to 3.2m (was 3m).

ORYX

“Oryx’s mobility is central to his identity. Reducing the dash recharge time allows him to reposition and react more frequently, reinforcing his role as a highly mobile defender.”

REMAH DASH

• Dash recharge time reduced to 5s (was 8s).

MUTE

“Mute’s Signal Disruptors often require very precise placement to cover key entry points and drone paths. This increase in range makes deployments more forgiving and improves coverage consistency without changing how the gadget is used.”

SIGNAL DISRUPTOR

• Increased disruption range to 2.6m (was 2.475m).
• Increased disruption warning to 4.875m (was 4.75m).

CHANGES TO WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT

IMPACT EMP GRENADE

“Impact EMP Grenades often rely on precise placement to affect multiple electronic devices. Increasing their radius makes these interactions more forgiving and consistent, without significantly expanding their overall utility.”

CHANGES

• EMP Range increased to 2m (was 1.8m).

REAPER MK2

“The Reaper MK2 is receiving a recoil refinement focused on improving comfort and consistency across both Mouse & Keyboard and Controller. These adjustments should make sustained fire more manageable without altering the weapon’s overall identity.”

RECOIL – M&K & CONTROLLER

• Recoil stages kick in later on the burst to Bullet 0,3,10,25 (was Bullet 0,3,7,13).
