#Rainbow six siege lmg Patch

Tachanka may be the first major rework in some time, but he wonвЂ™t be the last. The whole thing started to make sense when we took the LMG out of his turret and made it his primary.вЂќ Our eyes were fresh on him and weвЂ™ve nailed what made his identity. вЂњBut weвЂ™ve gone back to the drawing board because now is the time to revisit existing content. вЂњIn the past we said we wouldnвЂ™t touch him because we couldnвЂ™t find the right way to do it,вЂќ HallГ© explains. This rework has been a long time coming, but it simply took this long for the team to be able to see the character with fresh eyes. вЂњSo maybe itвЂ™s best to avoid him rather than go on a head-to-head confrontation.вЂќ вЂњIn terms of countering, you have to be careful with your positioning because he can kill so much time now,вЂќ Karpazis explains. HeвЂ™s a formidable opponent for attackers, then. Tachanka and Goyo are a match made in heaven.вЂќ вЂњAnd that makes it pretty safe when triggering GoyoвЂ™s shields. вЂњWhen you have a Goyo and you mix that with a Tachanka, thereвЂ™s fire everywhere,вЂќ Karpazis says with a smile. The team has been playing around with this version of Tachanka for a while, and have found some fun combos to make with him. Whether thatвЂ™s viewable with cosmetics, or if there will be a helmetless Elite skin, weвЂ™ll just have to wait to find out. вЂњWith the new rework of him we decided to make a face behind his helmet,вЂќ Karpazis says. Perhaps most exciting of all, though, is the potential of finally seeing what is underneath that bucket-like helmet. You can block a hallway with them and you can bounce them off walls, so thereвЂ™s a lot of skill with how you play with his grenades.вЂќ

вЂњItвЂ™s not that easy to play with because the patch of fire it leaves is really small, but the fun of it is you can spam a lot of them. вЂњItвЂ™s a sort of alternative to Smoke,вЂќ says HallГ©, comparing the area denial fire bombs to the British OperatorвЂ™s toxic gas.

вЂњItвЂ™s something that means he can take more control of a map, he can lay down fire and take control of the flow of where attackers can approach from.вЂќ вЂњSo the incendiary grenade launcher is something we thought fit really well with his subtle character,вЂќ Karpazis jokes. The LMG is a remix of the old, but the Kulakov Incendiary Grenade launcher is something brand new, not just to Tachanka but to Siege as a whole. вЂњThe current plan is to still have the SMG with an ACOG scope, but you have to be mobile in this game which is why we removed the turret.вЂќ вЂњWeвЂ™re not getting rid of the other main weapons,вЂќ says Jean-Baptiste HallГ©, lead game designer for Rainbow Six Siege. While the LMG is clearly an iconic part of TachankaвЂ™s kit, it wonвЂ™t be his only option. He can roam, and he can make holes to shoot his incendiary grenades through.вЂќ вЂњThe design team thought it worked super well with the legend of his weapon. вЂњThereвЂ™s some crazy destruction you can do, but never on the level of Tachanka,вЂќ Karpazis says. A demonstration video shows the gun being shot to create a circle in some drywall in order to cut a large opening.

The LMG can be used to cause some incredible damage to a mapвЂ™s soft walls. вЂњThe biggest thing was lifting that LMG off the turret and have him be more mobile.вЂќ Originally, TachankaвЂ™s gadget was a deployable MG turret that forced him to stay still. вЂњHis main problem was having that turret tying him down to one location,вЂќ explains Alex Karpazis, Art Director for Rainbow Six Siege.
