Rainbow Six Siege Y11S2.3 Adjusts Six Operators and the Impact EMP Grenade

The Y11S2.3 patch for Rainbow Six Siege, published August 4 2026, delivers a set of operator and equipment adjustments with no new content — the kind of maintenance update that quietly shifts the competitive landscape.

What changed

Attackers

• Hibana — X-Kairos detonation timer reduced to 3.8s (from 4s), shortening the window she spends exposed after deploying pellets.
• Maverick — Breaching Torch canister ammo increased to 160 (from 144); total ammo rises to 320 (from 288), giving more room for error when cutting openings.
• Fuze — Cluster Charge breaching time on reinforced surfaces and Armor Panels cut to 1.75s (from 2s), improving his ability to commit without lingering.
• Tubarão — Zoto Canister range increased to 3.2m (from 3m) for more consistent area denial.

Defenders

• Oryx — Remah Dash recharge time reduced to 5s (from 8s), a substantial improvement to repositioning frequency.
• Mute — Signal Disruptor disruption range increased to 2.6m (from 2.475m); disruption warning range increased to 4.875m (from 4.75m).

The patch notes also reference changes to the Impact EMP Grenade, though the source text is truncated before the specifics are listed.

Taken together, the patch nudges several underperforming tools toward greater consistency and forgiveness — particularly Oryx, whose dash recharge sees the most dramatic reduction of the bunch.
