Maelstrom Protocol is a weekly challenge mode designed for all Rainbow Six players, who get to take the best of nine subzones each with increasing difficulty, tougher enemies, less resources and shorter time limits. At each checkpoint, squads must decide whether to extract their points or attempt to get to the final of the decision, the Ubisoft explained. Earning points create a place for competition in 4 classes – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and even Diamond, each with the special headgear and REACT credits. There are a lot of events and assignments next. Crisis events are described as short-time game-changing events with different themes. Theyll add a new operator or a new Protean enemy to your roster to defeat. The first event was called Spillover, and players will eliminate mass colonies of evolvedSprawl while being hunted byArchans. Completing the event is to reward the players with exclusive expertise in ReACT technology, new cosmetics and new lore. Assignments, on the other hand, are weekly modes with gameplay modifiers. Like the veteran mode, there are no other HUDs, no limited ammo and friendly fire enabled, wrote Ubisoft. At launch, players can both tackle Maelstrom Protocol and weekly Assignments, with an immediate deployment of Crisis Events. The Rainbow Six Extraction will take place on January 20, 2022, with a full play, a subsave, and a complete cross-progression on all platforms, including the PlayStation 4 and 5.
