Rainbow Six Siege X is a celebration of the game’s 10th anniversary, and Ubisoft is rewarding players who have been there since the start.
Ubisoft initially released Rainbow Six Siege in 2015. At its initial launch, the FPS featured 11 maps and 20 operators. After a remarkable run, R6 finished with 24 maps across four game modes and 75 operators. Instead of abandoning all of that, Rainbow Six Siege X carries over everything and expands on that foundation.
Rainbow Six Siege X is a free expansion, and returning users get to keep all of their previously earned and purchased content. Additionally, Ubisoft showed its appreciation for longtime series veterans who have stuck around throughout the game’s storied run.
Every Rainbow Six Siege X Veteran Reward
Here are all of the Veteran Rewards.
- G36C Coveted Ice Weapon Skin (2016)
- Operation Health Universal Card Background (2017)
- Decontaminated Headgear (2018)
- CSRX 300 Sleep Tight Weapon Skin (2019)
- Stand And Deliver Tachanka Player Card (2020)
- GONNE-6 Ye Olde Boom Weapon Skin (2021)
- AR33 Meeting Friends Weapon Skin (2022)
- End of an Era Universal Card Background (2023)
- Ghost From The Past Universal Card Background (2024)
The weapon skins are not universal and can only be used by Operators who are equipped with those weapons. However, the Player Cards and Headgear can be used with any Operator besides the Tachanka-specific Player Card.
Additionally, there is a badge for every year, with the first year being the rarest.
How to Claim Veteran Rewards
You automatically receive Veteran Rewards in your inventory after logging into Rainbow Six Siege X for the first time.
As previously shown, all of the rewards have a corresponding year. For example, if you first played Rainbow Six Siege in 2019, you will get the CSRX 300 Sleep Tight Weapon Skin and all of the rewards after that year.
It’s unclear whether Ubisoft plans to add the cosmetic items to the store at a later date, but the only way to obtain them now is to have played during the corresponding year.
Those aren’t the only free rewards currently available, as players can also earn cosmetic items and Alpha packs by tuning into partner streams on Twitch and TikTok.
