Track the live Rainbow Six Siege season countdown for the Y11S3 rollover on September 1.
TL;DR — Balance pass: 2 nerfs (Dokkaebi Jegeo Payload 7s cooldown, Thorn limp 10s), 4+ buffs (Ash, IQ, Thatcher, Finka, Bulletproof Cameras). Biggest nerf: Dokkaebi Jegeo Payload spam removed. Biggest buff: attacker utility breadth. Meta impact: post-rework Dokkaebi shifts from constant pressure to timed engagements; intel-and-utility attackers regain influence.
