Rainbow Six Siege 1.74 Update Highlights
Primarily, the Y4S3.2 update features bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. You won’t find anything new in this update, we’re afraid. Updates to the Surrender feature and RFF, however, round this out to be a useful update for many players. Besides, bug fixes are always welcome. Read on for more details.

Surrender and RFF Changes
The main feature that has been altered is the Surrender feature. You will now only be able to surrender if you follow these steps:
- You’ll need a unanimous Surrender vote
- You can only surrender if your team is currently losing in rounds
- Surrender from the 3rd only
RFF has been altered, too. During Hostage mode, if you detonate a Volcan Shield, you will be responsible for the damage it deals after the hostage has been picked up. Before anyone has picked up the hostage, Goyo will be responsible.
Bug Fixes
Plenty of bug fixes have taken place in the 1.74 update. For example, the attacking and defending side assignment before any given match is now completely random. That pesky attacker side bias is now gone. You’ll also find level, Operator, and more general bug fixes in the full list of patch notes down below.
