On September 15, the Chinese server "Assault Test" for Rainbow Six Siege officially begins. This is the second closed beta test following the initial "Wall-Breaking Assault" technical test, and it is a large-scale paid wipe test. Unlike the first test, which focused on verifying basic technical experiences, this test prioritizes validating the main game flow, server environment, network performance, security and anti-cheat systems, and operational capabilities, laying a solid foundation for the full launch of the Chinese server.
The "Assault Test" starts at 11:00 on September 15 and is scheduled to end at 22:00 on October 29. In this limited-access wipe test, player progress will be reset after the test concludes and will not carry over to the official release version. However, in-game currency and other items purchased during the test will be refunded as R6 Credits according to the rules upon the game's official launch. For detailed refund policies, please see the "Rainbow Six Siege Assault Test Purchase Refund Announcement" on the official game website.
Exclusive Optimizations for Chinese Server and Limited-Time Test Rewards Launch
In terms of content, this test version is based on the International Server's Year 11 Season 3, syncing with the latest global version. It includes the launch of the new operator "Shield Breaker" Dawn, opens up new maps and ranked modes, and introduces the new "Wasteland Tour" mode, further enriching the game's tactical competitive fun and entertainment experience.
As a key focus of this test, the team has implemented exclusive optimizations for the Chinese server, including specialized upgrades to improve loading speeds and low-latency stability, ensuring smooth connections and eliminating latency fluctuations. Additionally, the anti-cheat system has been fully upgraded to safeguard fair competition. The matchmaking mechanism has also been enhanced with a more balanced system that dynamically adjusts based on player rank and performance data to ensure evenly matched games.
Furthermore, the "Assault Test" offers several exclusive rewards for participating players, including: the out-of-print exclusive commemorative weapon skin "Blaze," a choice of exclusive event reward weapon skins "Ink Ice" (choose 7 out of 10), and one each of the exclusive badges "Gold Badge" and "Silver Badge." All items will carry over to the official launch of the Chinese server. Please refer to subsequent official announcements for specific carry-over rules.
Streamer Invitational "Super Six Cup" Kicks Off Simultaneously
Coinciding with the launch of the "Assault Test," the official streamer invitational "Super Six Cup" also kicks off on September 15. Featuring 16 top FPS pros led by Danking and 32 Rainbow Six streamers, the event promises an exciting clash of cross-community talent. The "Super Six Class" is about to begin!
The event features a special draft selection segment. The four most popular players will be crowned the "Class Beauty" and "Class Hunk" of this tournament, granting them a draft selection buff. Teams are formed by blindly opening "Alpha Packs" on-site, paired with a mentoring mechanism. The team with the highest combined score from these student-mentor pairings will receive additional exclusive rewards.
Regarding the tournament format, the total prize pool is 350,000 RMB, utilizing a dual logic of points and elimination. The group stage uses a points-based system, while the semifinals and finals adopt an elimination format, where every point counts. In addition to standard matches, the event features the "Fastest in R6" drone racing segment, adding a fun twist with a cat-and-mouse chase style game.
