Rarity System Update

Hello Operators,

Over the last ten years, Rainbow Six Siege’s cosmetic collection has grown massively. With so many new item types added over time, the rarity system has become less consistent than we’d like. We heard your feedback and will be adjusting the system based on objective guidelines.

Starting in Y11S1, we’re introducing a refreshed rarity framework that better reflects the true quality of every cosmetic item. This system will apply to all new content moving forward—and retroactively to existing items in your Locker. Don’t worry: nothing about your owned items is changing except the rarity label associated with them.

New Rarity Tiers Examples*

  • Mythical – Masterpieces
  • Legendary – Animated items, Colored Black Ice
  • Epic – New model/mesh, Gadget skins, Black Ice
  • Rare – Retextures, Signature weapon skins
  • Uncommon – Camo, Universal patterns, Drone skins, solid colors

*These guidelines could evolve over time.

This update will help ensure that rarities are applied consistently across Membership rewards, Battle Pass content, Collections, and all cosmetic types. It also prepares the game for new item categories in the future.

Enjoy Operation Silent Hunt!
