Claymore is essentially at the position as a filler secondary, its existence is like a disappointment of an op’s kit, but overall, the gadget mechanism works and fits the game imo. In my experience, there is a dilemma of using claymore: weather to place it early, defensively or keep it until a better chance and/or positioning coming up later in the round, technically the dilemma can be solved by the retreating feature that is defaulted in the game, but realistically it is not often feasible to retreat and replace a claymore, and I don’t think the dilemma as a challenge is something can be viewed as rewarding or encouraging if one tried to tackle the limited nature of the gadget.
How about this:
Now an op can have 3 claymores, but only the last placed would be active. Halfway through the interaction with a placed claymore, it will switch on or off and make a sound, if one is turned off (possibly retreated) and there is a previously placed one, the last one will auto-activate with sound cues.
This way, as a round progresses, an attacker can make a much interesting decision whether to replace a claymore immediately or have the last one stays active, the process of replacing can even be reversed as long as the claymores are placed and not yet destroyed or retreated, new choices and new chances!

Lore: how does a R6 claymore work? Well, they have interconnection and remote charging capability, but most batteries are uncharged and remote connection is off for reasons of safety and hiding, technically once the safe are off, and then the team can charge a claymore remotely, the claymore requires only little energy for target recognition and ignition, with surplus one can transfer energy to the next in the web, quickly activate the whole minefield. However, in the Siege competition setting, there is only minimal energy charged to the whole 3-claymore system for 1 to activate at a given time, resulting in some tactical decisions waiting to be made by an op. 😊

So you know how Kali has a scope and can only seem useful at long range? I think that maybe if you changed it so that Kali can switch from a 1x sight to her sniper scope, she would be able to be more flexible in her gunfights.

I hate you (kidding). I've tried to leave this game... but I can't. It's just too fun.

Initially hearing about the Frost rework, I was horrified just like every other Frost main out there. She's so perfectly balanced and you CAN avoid her traps by simply looking down and shooting them. This just doesn't seem to make sense. But after having some time to think about it, I think you could be on to something here.. I just think the concept needs a bit of a tweak that could make this change VERY fun and less frustrating for those who don't have the foresight to look down before jumping through that window. Nothing is worse than playing casual and having your team let you sit in a trap for the entire round because they're too lazy to come get you.

I'm not totally against being able to get yourself out of the trap. What I AM against, and the thing that I think needs changed to make this more palpable, is the movement speed at which the operator can move once they get themselves up. You just got your leg crushed in a massive bear trap, yet you get yourself up and just walk around like nothing happened? Negative. Simply not being able to sprint doesn't go far enough . Your leg is crushed, you're now bleeding out; you're not going to just be able to walk around (even at walking speed) like you're out on a Sunday stroll. You're now SERIOUSLY wounded.. and the game should show it more realistically in order for the change to be welcomed by the community.


THIS is what I propose.

Take a look back at Rainbow six 3 Raven Shield. When you got "gimped" you DRAGGED your leg behind you. Your movement was cut to HALF of your WALKING speed. You could still move, but you were MUCH slower, and you were MUCH louder when you did move because you were dragging a SEVERELY wounded limb behind you. That same mechanic would be PERFECT for the Frost rework you're proposing now. It's much more realistic. It still gives you the option of getting back in the game, but still makes you pay dearly for not moving more cautiously initially.

This change would make Frost a lot more fun on both sides, and people wouldn't be so against the concept of the rework.


I hope you'll read this and seriously consider implementing the change I proposed. I think you'll find that the community will be much more pleased if the change were implemented in that fashion.
