Rainbow Six Siege Rook Deactivation: Full Timeline of the Bug, Ban, and Upcoming Patch
By David Miller

The upcoming client patch will rewrite the armor interaction pipeline, adding rigorous server-side checks whenever a defender initiates a pickup sequence. Until the green light sounds and the padlock drops from his icon, defenders must rely on sharp crosshair placement and precise utility placement rather than extra ceramic padding.
