Rainbow Six Siege Blackbeard fans in chokehold due to Undertaker skin

If there's one thing a tactical shooter like Rainbow Six Siege, where fine margins can be the difference between triumphant victory and humiliating defeat, doesn't need, it's extravagant cosmetics. In this title, which you could argue is one of the best competitive FPS games out there, you need to be keenly aware of your surroundings and make certain that you're staying out of your enemies' sight-lines as much as possible. But, that hasn't stopped Ubisoft from monetising Rainbow Six Siege with some rather "out there" cosmetics. And, the latest set of unusual cosmetics has Rainbow Six Siege's Blackbeard fans in something of a chokehold - because it's themed around WWE's Undertaker.

Yeah, we're not kidding around. You can purchase an Elite skin set for Blackbeard that brings the iconic leather duster and wide-brimmed hat of The Pale Rider himself to Ubisoft's methodical FPS.

If this sounds like something you'd be into, the Deadman Bundle for Blackbeard comes with the cosmetics you'll be able to see in the trailer below (a uniform and a headgear) alongside an operator portrait, an Undertaker Championship charm, the Moonlight Brawl background, and the Tombstone skin for the Mk17 CQB.

Rainbow Six Siege's most popular Attacker doesn't actually need a nerf

In a similar fashion to other competitive multipler experiences, the topic of balancing changes is everpresent in the Rainbow Six Siege community - and calls for buffs and nerfs are often spurred as much by Ubisoft's own analysis and statistics as it is the players' experiences. The somewhat recent concerns among this shooting game's playerbase that a Rainbow Six Siege Iana nerf is imminent is a prime example of this. However, even if she's regarded as one of the best Attackers available right now, the same statistics that highlight her popularity can also be used to justify why she's just fine in her current state.

Ahead of Rainbow Six Siege's Y7S4.2 title update and the release of a new set of patch notes, Ubisoft has released another edition of its' Designer's Notes - a blog post that aims to explore the current state of the game statistically and explain any upcoming changes.

As you will be able to see for yourself below, when looking at a graph that compares Attackers' pick rates and their win rates in Rainbow Six Siege (when not banned), Iana is something of an anomaly. She's easily the most popular Attacker in Rainbow Six Siege right now, and her win rate is erring on the stronger side when compared to her peers.
