Trackers are a popular tool in many shooters that allow players to track their performance. The developers of Rainbow Six Siege have now announced that they will bring their own tracker. MeinMMO explains to you what it entails.
What is a tracker and what stats does it show? Trackers track your performance in a game. In shooters, and specifically in Rainbow Six, you will get information about:
- your K/D ratio
- the win-loss ratio
- operators and how you perform with them
- your performance in various modes
Additionally, the tracker breaks down specific details for you, such as what your headshot percentage is, how many kills you have made in close combat, and how many game hours you have invested.
How do I use it? Currently, the tracker is only available as a community tool on the website r6.tracker.network. There it belongs to the same network as the popular tracker for CoD Warzone and other well-known shooters.
There, you can simply search for your name on PS4, Xbox One, or PC, and you will receive a detailed overview of your performance. You can then use this to find out which operators you are particularly skilled with or which ones you need more practice with.
You can also access data from other players to compare yourself with them. This makes it easier for you to see who you should look to in order to improve.
Additionally, you can view your MMR through the tracker, for which kills do not matter at all. The more you play, the more accurate your data becomes.
New tracker for stats with more details
This is coming now: In a video, the developers of Rainbow Six Siege have now introduced their own tracking tool named “My Siege Stats,” which seems to be heavily inspired by the community one. You will find it with the start of the upcoming Season 3 “Shadow Legacy” of Year 5 on rainbowsix.com.
Season 3 is supposed to significantly change and improve the game, with a new operator, a new gadget, and new tools. The in-house tracker brings even more details than the community one, such as:
- an overview of your performance per map
- summaries for each past week
- your performance with each weapon
- setting a timeframe you want to look at in more detail
In addition to this tool, there will be a replay function. This will save your last games, and you can watch them, even from the perspective of other players, opponents, or from a bird’s-eye view. Professional players also improve in this way, such as in the GSA League.
The tools will be presented in the video starting around minute 20:12:
Along with the statistics, there will also be a “Squad Finder” from Rainbow Six. With this, you can easily find teammates to play together, instead of going alone into ranked matches.
What makes the tracker better? The feature that you can track not only operators but also maps and weapons makes the new tracker even more valuable. This way, you can precisely see which maps and play styles you need to improve on.
Especially together with the replay tool, you will have two powerful tools at your disposal to analyze exactly where your problems are. If you want to climb into the higher ranks of Rainbow Six, these are optimal opportunities.
This further improves Rainbow Six: In addition to the new tools, there is a rework of the map Chalet, the ability to choose the next map after a match, and a ton of bug fixes. A bug with the bomb detection of drones which players have been waiting for a fix for 5 years will finally be removed.
Season 3 of Year 5 is said to bring the most significant changes to Rainbow Six Siege according to the developers. And this seems to be just the beginning. The head of the game has already claimed in a tweet: You are not prepared for Year 6 of Rainbow Six. So it seems that there will certainly be more changes in 2021 than what is currently happening with Season 3 – so much that one might even call it “Siege 2.0.”
