To combat bugs in the online shooter Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft is now mobilizing the community. Those who go on the hunt for bugs will be rewarded.
How does the bug hunt work? Ubisoft has set up a special test server for Rainbow Six Siege. Those who play on it will get early versions of updates to see and test. This way, Ubisoft aims to continue improving the online shooter.
Additionally, it can be tested how changes to the game are received by the fans.
Find at least three bugs
When are players rewarded? A reward is not given for every bug found!
- A special test client must be installed, which is about 60 GB in size.
- Testers must find at least 3 bugs!
- You use R6Fix to report the bug.
- The bugs must be verified and confirmed by the developers.
- The bug must be reproducible.
- No other player may have reported the bug before you.
What rewards can testers expect? As a reward, there are raptor legs in chibi style in the form of a frost talisman.
These go back to an earlier bug where players’ legs could twist in impossible ways, leading to the term “raptor legs” emerging. Many players have since wanted this as a cosmetic item in Rainbow Six Siege.
Ubisoft states that over time, more rewards will be added.
Who can test? The Bug Hunter program is currently only available for players of the PC version of Rainbow Six Siege.
Fans are excited
How hard is it to find three bugs? According to testers, it is not really hard to discover three bugs on the test server. After a short time, you will have the minimum number and quickly reach the reward.
How is the Bug Hunter program received in the community? Players are excited. Discussions are already taking place on Reddit. Fans especially look forward to the raptor legs.
DarkCodes97 says on Reddit: “Oh my God! I want the talisman. I’m not doing anything else but hunting bugs for you!”
Overall, the idea of involving the community in the bug hunt is well-received, as bugs can be found and fixed more quickly this way.
