On June 10, Ubisoft released Rainbow Six Siege X and Operation Daybreak. Almost two months later, it's fair to say the update transformed Ubisoft's FPS, as the release of modernized maps, destructible ingredients, the 6v6 game mode Dual Front, rappelling and audio reworks, weapon inspection, and many other features completely shook the community's average experience.
Despite all of the positives in the arrival of Rainbow Six Siege X, Operation Dybreak has been full of ups and downs especially due to the increase of cheaters, which was acknowledged by Ubisoft in their Y10S2 Mid-Season Roadmap Update.
