Rainbow Six Siege Grim Sky brings a big Thatcher nerf

Rainbow Six Siege Operation Grim Sky will bring an array of buffs and nerfs alongside the new content. Today, Ubisoft detailed exactly what those changes will be, and it looks like Thatcher players are about to be hit especially hard, though Twitch is set to suffer some a nerf as well. Thatcher’s EMP grenades will now merely disable cameras instead of destroying them outright. That extends security cam, bulletproof cam, Maestro’s turret, and Valkyrie’s cameras. This is an effort to push beyond the operator’s “binary playstyle,” by forcing players to think more creatively. This nerf stands on its own in the short-term, but will eventually be backed up with further changes for Thatcher. “This is a small part of a larger project that we are working on,” Ubisoft says in the announcement, “but have too many dependencies on current systems to implement this at the same time as the rest of the changes. Future changes will include elements that will make Thatcher stronger, but we needed this interaction in place before we can begin working on those.”
