Rainbow Six Siege's Wild West game mode returns for a limited time

Rainbow Six Siege - sorry, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege: A Ubisoft Original, as the official logos now call it - has entered Y6S3 with Crystal Guard, and starting today, you're getting another reason to keep playing. The Wild West-themed Showdown event is returning for a limited time, so grab your six-guns and get ready for a shootout.


Just like it was previously, this is a 3v3 limited time mode where a group of defenders - the 'Law', allowing you to play as Maverick, Ash, Twitch, Capitao, and Glaz - hold the line against some criminal attackers - the 'Graveltop Gang', made up of Alibi, Kaid, Caveira, Maestro, and Rook. You'll do battle on the unique Fort Truth map with a limited HUD, only equipped with the BOSG 12.2 or LFP586.


The event runs from September 21 through September 28, when it'll ride off into the sunset once again. The Showdown Collection also returns for the duration, offering 31 cosmetics made up of both old and new items.

Today, we are proud to present our next Community Artist Bundle: A Samurai and Oni – a type of yōkai, Japanese spirit – inspired set for Hibana, designed by FrAgMenT.

  • Uniform
  • Headgear

[h2]ABOUT THE ARTIST[/h2]

Before joining the Siege community, FrAgMenT was mostly known as a community artist for For Honor, which he continues to love, especially for its setting.
In 2018, when FrAgMenT was a Ubisoft Star Player, he was contacted by Ubisoft Australia to draw Siege artwork. As this was his first time drawing tactical gear and modern elements, this was a new challenge for him. During this process, FrAgMenT gained an appreciation for this style of artwork, and along with the support of the Siege community, it led him to join the Siege Champions Program along with other talented community members!
FrAgMenT’s art is all about challenging perspectives and details while telling stories and bringing emotions into his artwork. But why Hibana? FrAgMenT wanted to introduce his passion for Japanese mythology and folklore in a well-fitting way. On top of being his favorite operator, Hibana felt like the perfect choice for his vision. The design is inspired by characters he’s created with some important elements: horns, a headband, and typical Oni colors.
Don’t forget to follow FrAgMenT on Artstation, Twitter, and Instagram to see more!
