Rainbow Six Siege is more than just a game—it’s a world that millions of players have grown to love. Since its release, Rainbow Six has built an incredible community filled with strategy lovers, team players, competitive minds, and creative fans of all ages. What started as a tactical shooter has evolved into a rich, ever-changing experience. Part of what makes Rainbow Six Siege so special is not just the gameplay, but the way it looks and feels—especially through its unique collection of operator skins.

Operator skins are far more than just visual changes to your character. They tell a story. Some skins remind us of seasonal events we played through with our friends. Others came from major esports tournaments, real-world collaborations, or were earned through hard-fought challenges. Each one is a little piece of the game’s long and exciting history. For many of us, these cosmetics are tied to memories: of our first clutch win, our favorite operator, or the time we unlocked something rare after grinding for weeks.

They let us express our identity in-game. They let us show support for the community, like with skins made in honor of popular streamers or pro players. And sometimes, they just make the game more fun. What’s better than entering a match with your squad all rocking matching outfits you earned together?

But now, many players are worried.

There are growing concerns that some of these skins may be permanently removed or retired from Rainbow Six Siege. That means that once they’re gone, they might be gone for good—and never available again, not even for newer players who weren’t around when the skins first came out. This would be a huge loss—not just for longtime players who collected them over the years, but for future fans who deserve the chance to enjoy the full experience of the game, just like we did.

Games like Rainbow Six thrive because of their legacy and the loyalty of their communities. Removing or locking away that legacy doesn’t just erase some old designs—it erases memories, emotions, and moments that helped shape the game into what it is today. These skins represent creativity, effort, and a timeline of how the game has grown. Losing them would be like tearing pages out of a history book.

We believe there’s a better way.

That’s why we, the fans—young and old, new and veteran—are coming together to ask Ubisoft and the Rainbow Six team to protect and preserve all existing operator skins. Whether through a rotating "vault" system where old skins come back for a short time, a special "legacy shop" for veteran cosmetics, or an archive that lets players see and appreciate past designs, we believe there are many creative ways to keep these skins part of the game.

We understand that some skins were meant to be limited. We respect that. But there’s also value in giving new players the chance to discover the past, and in honoring the fans who have been here all along. Maybe some skins stay exclusive, but others can come back with a new twist or be celebrated in a special legacy mode. There are many possible solutions—and we trust the team at Ubisoft to find one that respects both the business and the players.

Rainbow Six Siege has always been about teamwork, strategy, and growth. Now, we’re asking you to grow with your community once more—by protecting the legacy we’ve built together.

Please don’t let these skins disappear forever. They mean something to us. They’re more than outfits—they’re part of our memories, our achievements, and the identity of Rainbow Six Siege itself.

Let’s protect what makes this game iconic.

Let’s save R6 skins—for the community, for the history, and for the future of Rainbow Six Siege.
