Rainbow Six Siege’s Operation Heavy Mettle brings buffs to 3 operators and shotgun adjustments

Rainbow Six Siege Operation Heavy Mettle is balancing three operators and significantly altering the way shotguns work.

Frost traps will now deal more significant damage and impede players for longer. Removing the trap yourself now takes four seconds instead of two and a half, leaving you vulnerable for longer. If a downed player pulls the trap off themselves, they’ll have a debuff for 60 seconds, limiting their movement to a slow walk. They’ll also leave a trail of blood and continuously make vocal queues, making it easier for players to find them.
