Rainbow Six Update 1.05: New Protean "Vigil"

Rainbow Six Update 1.05: New Protean “Vigil”

A new update is available for Rainbow Six Extraction featuring a brand new Protean ‘Vigil’ and a new prestige system that is now available to all players. With ten extra levels available for each operator, Ubisoft is separating them from milestone levels so that players can reach their respective milestones without worrying about the extra levels. The update also addresses some common bugs that have been present in recent updates. Vigil Joins as the Newest Protean If you are new to Rainbow Six Extraction, you may have to venture to a place called, The Singularity. It is an area whose location is unknown, where you are likely to come across the most threatening Arcaeans in our database. Proteans are motile Arcaean variants that have adopted the form of REACT Operators and sometimes have the ability to mimic Operator behavior. Vigil is the newest Protean that has been added to the game as part of the new update. New Prestige Levels Added for New Rewards There are ten new levels for each operator which will be kept separate from existing milestone levels that are present in the game. The new prestige levels will be displayed in the UI and allow you to unlock unique permanent rewards, such as icons, headgears, and uniforms. More prestige levels may be added in the future to unlock even more cosmetics. HDR Fixes Are Finally Here HDR, or high-dynamic range, can elevate the image of your TV to an entirely new level. It is a feature that was added to Rainbow Six Extraction but it automatically turned itself on even if you did not want to use it. Ubisoft has finally fixed the HDR getting automatically enabled, even if the player disabled it in-game or in the operating system. The HDR and FPS Limits no longer reset when launching the game either, which is a relief for players struggling with the issue. Rainbow Six Extraction also has a number of balance changes with Zofia, Ela, Capitao, Nomad, Smoke, Tachanka, Doc, Finka, and Jager receiving balance changes. Explosions from Nomad’s Airjab can now better destroy open fuel pods and fuel cells during the MIA rescue objective. If you want to check out all of the balance changes in the new update, you can check out the official patch notes here.

Rainbow Six Update 1.05: New Protean “Vigil”

Rainbow Six Extraction has a new update, including a new Protean “Vigil” and a new prestige system. This update is available to all players. Ubisoft has separated the milestone levels from the ten additional levels for each operator so players can reach their milestones without worrying. This update fixes some bugs that were present in previous updates.

Vigil joins the Protean ranks.

You may need to travel to The Singularity if you’re new to Rainbow Six Extraction. This is an unknown area where you will likely encounter the most dangerous Arcaeans in our database. Proteans, which are motile Arcaean varieties, have taken the form of REACT Operators. They sometimes can mimic Operator behaviour. Vigil is the latest Protean added to the game in the update.

For new rewards, we have added new prestige levels

Each operator will have ten new levels. These levels will not be combined with the existing milestone levels. These new prestige levels can be accessed via the UI. They will allow you to unlock permanent rewards such as icons, headgears and uniforms. To unlock more cosmetics, there may be additional prestige levels.

HDR Fixes are Finally Here

HDR (high-dynamic range) can make your TV’s image look amazing. This feature was introduced in Rainbow Six Extraction. It automatically activated even though you didn’t want it to. Ubisoft finally resolved the HDR feature that was automatically enabled even though it was disabled in-game or in an operating system. Players who have trouble with this issue will be relieved to know that the HDR and FPS Limits do not reset upon launching the game.

Rainbow Six Extraction has balance changes. Zofia and Ela have balance changes. Doc, Finka and Doc are also receiving balance changes. During the MIA rescue objective, the nomad’s Airjab explosions can now more effectively destroy open fuel pods or fuel cells.

To see all the changes to the balance in the update, please visit the official patch notes. For more information, check out our operator list.
