This week, players have been reporting an odd glitch in Rainbow Six Siege that turns the fearsome shieldbearer Blitz into a force to be reckoned with. Apparently, there's a new exploit that allows Blitz to open fire without ever having to drop his shield which makes him not only deadly, but protected as well.

We don't know when a fix will be implemented, but Ubisoft is aware of the latest exploit. Before the fix itself actually drops, however, you may be asking yourself what does the exploit do exactly? Broken down, it allows players to be able to trigger a certain set of commands for those with breaching charge. This triggered affect will allow a significant buff to accuracy, which makes operator shieldbearers ... phew, it makes them a tough competitor.

The bug is also allowing Blitz players to kill opponents from behind thick walls, making them impossible to see and impossible to outrun. It's kind of crazy and is definitely a match ender, so we are definitely hoping for a hotfix soon! Especially since the glitch has reportedly been sighting as long as two weeks ago!
