Rainbow Six Siege risk ruining Frost with Welcome Mat rework in Y8S2
If you can believe it, the eighth year of Rainbow Six Siege content is almost here and Ubisoft has shared quite a bit of information about what this tactical FPS' fans can look forward to over the next four seasons of updates. Some of these upcoming changes, like the Consulate map rework and the Shooting Range update, are quite exciting. However, these announcements haven't been met with universal praise; the upcoming Rainbow Six Siege Frost rework is already proving unpopular with fans - despite the fact that it's going to introduce tracking akin to Apex Legends' Bloodhound.
Discussing Rainbow Six Siege's Year 8 content roadmap and what players can expect in the future during the Six Invitational, Ubisoft detailed that it was "revisiting Frost - specifically her Welcome Mat" - in order to start "empowering both sides of the fight".
Traditionally, and at the moment, Frost's Welcome Mat is a trap she can place that will instantly knock an enemy operator into a DBNO state when triggered. This makes it quite an effective defensive tool, especially when placed behind vaultables like windows. At the moment, a manual revive from a teammate is the only way to save a player from DBNO via Welcome Mat - even Doc's Stim Pistol is useless.
