Ubisoft has confirmed that, in the next update to Rainbow Six Siege, it will fix some historic audio bugs that were uncovered by former pro player Niclas 'Pengu' Mouritzen last week.
Pengu, a two-time Six Invitational champion, shocked the community after he found and replicated a number of audio bugs which made certain in-game actions - such as throwing C4s or grenades, vaulting, and rappelling - completely silent. While this is cause for concern on its own, Pengu also found, using older versions of Siege, that the bugs have been in the game for a number of years. He also learned that some pro players have known about the bugs and kept them "secret" so they could exploit them in competitions.
Following Pengu's findings and direct bug reports to Ubisoft, Rainbow Six Siege's senior community developer Eric Pope has confirmed that the audio issues will be fixed in the next patch.
