Rainbow Six Seige’s Mute gets an SMG-11 with the Wind Bastion patch

The patch notes for Rainbow Six Siege’s Wind Bastion update are out, and while the above-the-fold stuff is all about the new operators, Nomad and Kaid, there’s some special love saved for laconic defender Mute. Ubisoft is giving Mute another loadout option: in addition to his P226 Mk 25 handgun, now he’ll have the choice to equip the SMG-11 carried by Sledge and Smoke. That’s accompanied by a bump up in the SMG-11’s damage, and together the changes give Mute a significant increase in flexibility. Ubisoft said it wants to make Mute “a more attractive choice” as well as make him a stronger operator - and giving him the option of the fast-firing SMG-11 (which he can pair with either an MP5K submachine gun or the M590A1 shotgun) probably goes quite a way toward accomplishing both goals. A few other operators are getting tweaks with the Wind Bastion update as well. Clash, who was recently introduced with Operation Grim Sky, is getting a damage buff to her shield’s electrical output, from 3 to 5 points per tick. Ubisoft said recent patches have left Clash weak, and by giving her a bit more damage, she can be stronger without being “too frustrating to play against.”
