Rainbow Six Siege Y7S1.2 update buffs Claymores, tweaks seven Operators – Full patch notes

gamepur.com:

The Rainbow Six Siege Y7S1.2 update is small on volume, but big on impact, delivering the game’s first new map in quite some time, and tweaking seven of its playable Operators in significant ways. The biggest balance change comes through the Claymore generic Gadget, which now comes with double the Claymore mines.

Operators with access to Claymores will now have a much bigger margin of error when trapping pathways, which is sure to upset the competitive meta of the game. Additionally, Blackbeard now joins the list of attacker Operators in Rainbow Six Siege who have access to Claymores; in return, he can no longer use Breaching Charges.

Besides these Claymore-specific changes, the Rainbow Six Siege Y7S1.2 update ushers in a number of other balance tweaks for Operators. Bandit can now attach multiple Shock Wire batteries to the same deployable or surface for some extra oomph. Operators knocked down by Oryx‘s charge or Nomad‘s Airjabs recover after 1.25 seconds (down from 2), but remain prone upon recovery.

Warden‘s Smart Glasses now last up to 20 seconds, but their cooldown is also extended to 20 seconds; this is up from 10 seconds for both values previously. Gridlock now has four Trax Canisters, and Ying comes with four Candelas (up from three in both cases), but the individual Candela flash duration has been halved, down to 1.4 seconds.

On the map side, the Emerald Plains map is now available in the Ranked, Unranked, Quickmatch, Team Deathmatch, Newcomer, and Lone Wolf game Rainbow Six Siege modes. The Outback map is no longer in the Newcomer playlist.
