There’s a new patch for Rainbow Six Siege coming in hot today on PC, with consoles to follow June 1. Update 3.2 turns its focus on Operators who carry shields, giving them the ability to decorate their shields with charms, while also removing Blackbeard’s ability to auto-reload while his shield is up. The patch also tweaks character positioning, with more accurate tracer bullets and fixes designed to keep players from partially clipping into walls or through barricades.

Update 3.2 brings a new flock of bug fixes as well, including some focused on the Operators and map introduced in the Operation Dust Line update:
