Rainbow Six Siege Oceanic Scene: Thriving in Operation Tenfold Pursuit – Early 2026
Strewth, Aussie and Kiwi Siege players! We're kickin' off 2026 proper with Operation Tenfold Pursuit in full effect, celebratin' the game's 10th anniversary. Launched back in December 2025, this season's brought a cracker of updates: Thatcher's full remaster with the new E.G.S. Disruptor launcher for precise gadget zappin', the PMR90A2 DMR now available to several attackers like Hibana and Capitão, and a massive Fortress rework that's hit Ranked hard. Oceanic lobbies are buzzin' with low ping on East Asia servers, makin' those precise headshots and quick peeks feel spot on during arvo and night queues.Anniversary Highlights Keepin' the Game FreshOperation Tenfold Pursuit is all about honourin' Siege's legacy while pushin' forward. Thatcher's upgrade swaps old EMP grenades for a wall-penetratin' disruptor – better range and control for supportin' hard breaches. Hard breachers got buffs too: Ace trades speed for armour and grabs stun grenades, Hibana's X-Kairos reloads faster. Fortress rework opens up attacker entries, balances sites, shrinks long hallways, and turns the courtyard exterior – vertical play's gone next level. Modernised Skyscraper and Theme Park join the pool with better textures, lighting, and destructibles.Just wrapped was the January 8-15 Testing Grounds triallin' custom armour-speed trades – choose heavier for tankiness or lighter for speed. Community feedback's shapin' what's next.
