[h3]HOW TO REDEEM THE BUNDLE[/h3]

[h3]ABOUT THE ARTIST[/h3]
In January 2020, Retrodisaster started posting Rainbow Six Siege-related artwork. Following the great response and feedback he received from the community, he was motivated to share more of his art on social media, and we are glad to see that he keeps on posting it to this day!

Through his sickly sweet and light-hearted comics, Retrodisaster wants to reproduce real interactions that he had with his friends and relatives, making the situations silly by giving his characters big eyes and keeping his usual pastel color palette.

As Ace is Norwegian, Retrodisaster wanted to show the operator's origins with a warm sweater, earmuffs, and the trapper hat that sits silly on his head. The details on Ace's outfit represent friendships and the people Retrodisaster had the opportunity to meet through the Siege community, those who encouraged him and gave him the motivation to draw even more. By adding those details in his bundle, he took the opportunity to show his appreciation for the community and the friends he has made during his journey as a Siege community artist.

Rainbow Six Siege's Nighthaven Labs proving a step too far for fans

Ubisoft shipped Rainbow Six Siege's Operation Solar Raid update just over a week ago now, if you can believe it, and players have been getting to grips with a new operator and a new map in the tactical shooter. While Solis, the newest face on this FPS game's roster, has proven popular enough with players, Nighthaven Labs - the new map - is causing something of a divide. While there are quite a few players praising the map's attacking options and angles, a lot of them are lamenting the location for being overly confusing and - interestingly - quite linear.


In a debate kick-started online by Reddit user '-xSallyx-', fans of what is one of the best competitive FPS games out there have been sharing their frustrations when it comes to Nighthaven Labs' interior - with one player summarising the thoughts of many with the statement "where are the f--king stairs".


Both Hibana main 'fantailedtomb' and Ela main 'Tavliet' echo this sentiment with a specific reference to the map's basement level. 'Fantailedtomb' explains that they "went down a set of stairs for a flank on the opposite side, then couldn't find the original set [they] came down" and Tavliet admits that "it's so hard to get to the basement" that they just use a hatch.
