“Rainbow Six Siege” releases barebones Starter Edition

For those that have found it rather difficult to get enthralled by Rainbow Six Siege or justify shelling out 50$ / 30+£ dineros for a game that essentially has no story mode, Ubisoft may have a bit of a work-around with Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition

Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition is set to go for generally half the price ($15/£12) of the Standard edition game. The Starter edition includes all of the maps, modes, weapons, and other features from the standard edition, with no restrictions or time limits.

The only difference between the Starter and Standard Editions the Starter Edition will include just two Operators, not the usual 20. They will be randomly chosen from a pool of six of the game’s most “intuitive” for newcomers: Rook, Sledge, Ash, Fuze, Mute, and Smoke. Additional Operators can be unlocked however for 12,500 renown each (a much higher rate than the Standard Edition) or purchased outright with a $35 R6 Credits bundle.

The Starter Edition also comes with 600 R6 Credits that can be used to unlock two more Operators of your choice (from the pool of six) or on other stuff if you prefer, and it works with the Rainbow Six Siege season pass, which gives access to eight post-release Operators that will be added over the course of the year.

But if this tickles the fancy, you have until June 19 to pick it up before it stops selling
