Rainbow Six Siege Gets Starter Pack

Looking to ape some of the success in Black Ops 3’s Multiplayer Starter Pack, this low-price buy-in at $15 nets you access to all of the game content, save the operators, in Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege. Unlocking operators works a little differently in the Siege Starter Pack. In the base game, unlocking any of the standard operators costs anywhere from 500-2000 Renown, the lower end of which represents roughly 1.5 wins. In the Starter Pack however, you get 2 free operators, and then 600 R6 Credits, to either spend on visual customization, or you can unlock two more operators for 300 each. Unlocking any further operators costs a whopping 12,500 Renown, which may be anywhere from 10-15 hours of play in competitive modes.

Regardless, there is nothing locked behind a paywall and all further content updates will be made available to those who purchase the starter pack. As someone who greatly enjoyed Siege when it first released, a promotion like this is sure to bolster the player counts, and bring in some fresh talent to the scene. The promotion runs from June 2nd to the 16th, and will be $15 the entire time.
