The new Rainbow Six Siege Y6S2.1 patch contains an impressive 47 fixes, though chief among them is a solution to the Warden griefing issue.

This bug was more than a little annoying, but thankfully, there’s now a solution. Here’s the lowdown on every other new change via the complete Rainbow Six Siege 2.08 update patch notes.
