SAN FRANCISCO — July 2, 2019 — Today, Ubisoft® released Showdown, a Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Siege limited-time in-game event. Showdown will introduce an all-new game mode only for the brave of heart. Set under the burning sun of Fort Truth, an all-new limited time map, Showdown will include exclusive in-game content for all players that participate throughout the length of the event.
Available from July 2 to July 16, this trip back to the gunslinger wild west will introduce a tension-filled 3 vs 3 game mode with a “secure area type” exclusive map, Fort Truth. This limited game mode will see two trios of Attackers and Defenders competing with only a BOSG.12.2 and a Magnum LFP586 in hand to face off against each other. Moreover, Showdown will introduce a limited HUD where health, ammo, and crosshairs are stripped away, and no preparation phase is allowed.

Players that log in during the event will get a free Showdown Collection Pack and can complete the Ubisoft Club Event challenges to earn a pack and a unique weapon skin for the BOSG.12.2. Players can also purchase the Showdown packs for 300 R6 Credits.
