Here's a late Christmas present for all you "Rainbow Six Siege" fans: Ubisoft has released the newest Patch 5.3 that addresses several issues across gameplay and user experience. The new update arrived yesterday, indicating how the studio has worked hard over the holidays, taking gamers' feedback and churning out a new update that features new pause options.

According to VG247, Ubisoft has released the official patch notes of update 5.3 for "Rainbow Six Siege," which includes new pause options. Gamers will notice that there is now a pause button on the UI that enables the host of a Player-hosted custom game to be paused during the Operator Selection phase of the match. Gamers should note that to use this, they must press End/Start+DPAD UP to stop the timer and press again to resume.

Meanwhile, Patch 5.3 for "Rainbow Six Siege" also addresses several issues across gameplay and user experience. Gamers will notice that the shield on Tachanka’s LMG is no longer offers during Kill Cam replays. The same shield is now visible in Support Mode after switching between Tachanka and another Operator.

Meanwhile, it has also fixed issues with the melee kills that are displayed as headshots in the kill feed. Gamers may also notice that the Kill Camera will no longer pass through walls. To check out the full patch notes of Patch 5.3 for "Rainbow Six Siege," visit the official Ubisoft blog.
