Rainbow Six Siege Adds Jynxzi Skin

gamerant.com:

A skin for popular Twitch streamer Jynxzi has just been added to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. The popular FPS from Ubisoft recently received a major update that brought in a new playable character and implemented reworks for several of the game's mechanics, among other things.

Unlike other tactical shooters before it, Rainbow Six Siege has managed to develop a really strong presence in the streaming scene. One of the biggest figures in the Ubisoft Montreal-developed title's community is Nicholas «Jynxzi» Stewart, a 22-year-old Twitch streamer who has risen in popularity over the past few years. The content creator has only ever received a Rainbow Six Siege weapon charm despite his popularity, until now.

Ubisoft has added an entire bundle containing Jynxzi-themed cosmetics to Rainbow Six Siege. This Spacestation Gaming pack, which costs 1,680 R6 credits, provides a piece of headgear and a uniform for Pulse, one of Rainbow Six Siege's best defending operators. The Jynxzi cosmetic bundle also has a weapon skin for the UMP45, as well as a universal card background. Rainbow Six Siege's premium currency can only be bought in packs, with the $9.99 and $19.99 packs providing 1,200 and 2,670 R6 Credits, respectively.

The uniform and universal card background included in the SSG Full Kit '24 bundle feature several references to Jynxzi, who joined Spacestation Gaming as a content creator in 2023 and has since become among Twitch's most popular streamers. In particular, Jynxzi's nickname, Junko, and one of his famous phrases, Cardiac Johnson, appear on the Pulse uniform as patches. These and other references made their way onto the universal card.

Jynxzi often imitates the FBI SWAT operator in his gameplay videos, during which he refers to the character's iconic heartbeat sensor gadget as a «Cardiac Johnson.» With its unique operator gadgets, solid gunplay, and high degree of tactical freedom, Rainbow Six Siege is considered one of the best tactical shooters ever made.
