I am writing this as a passionate player of Rainbow 6 Siege and someone who faces challenges due to a visual impairment. Like many others, I enjoy the strategic depth and excitement that this game offers. However, in recent updates, ACOG scopes were removed from Defender setups, and this has greatly impacted my ability to enjoy and compete in the game effectively.

I am semi-blind and cannot see well, especially at a distance. The removal of ACOG scopes, which provided magnification for sights, has made it increasingly difficult for me and others with similar visual impairments to play the game enjoyably and fairly. The ACOG was vital for allowing us to engage in-game targets with precision and confidence. Without them, it feels like we are playing at a disadvantage.

There's a substantial community of semi-blind or visually impaired players who have depended on the ACOG scopes not just for enjoyment but also to level the playing field against other players. It is essential for Ubisoft, the developers of Rainbow 6 Siege, to consider inclusivity and accessibility for all players when making changes to game mechanics.

By reintroducing ACOG scopes for Defenders, Ubisoft would not only enhance the quality of the gaming experience for impaired players but also demonstrate their dedication to inclusivity. There are precedents in gaming where developers have successfully balanced competitiveness with accessibility, offering options that cater to players with various needs without compromising game integrity.

We propose that Ubisoft explores the possibility of reintroducing ACOG scopes with certain balance adjustments if necessary or offering alternative accessibility features that provide similar benefits to visually impaired players.

Please sign this petition to show Ubisoft how important inclusive gaming features are for all players. Let's bring back the ACOG scopes for Defenders and allow everyone to enjoy Rainbow 6 Siege to its fullest potential.
