Pengu doesn’t explain exactly how he’s managed to reliably produce the bug, but it appears as though he’s triggering the animation while moving from a crouched position to standing. As Pengu’s videos (below) show, the bug stops those sounds from playing, so enemy players don’t get any warning that an explosive is inbound. The grenade’s spoon flies off and there’s a ‘ping’ sound, or a Velcro strap can be heard when you ready some C4. Normally, there’s a sound cue that’s audible to nearby players when you start to cook off a grenade or prep a C4 charge. Now, a former pro player has been able to replicate the bug, showing that it can be used deliberately to gain an in-game advantage.įormer G2 Esports Siege pro player Niclas ‘Pengu’ Mouritzen has posted videos to Twitter showing the bug in action. The silent C4/grenade bug has been well-known in the Siege community for some time, but it’s mostly been written off as something that just happens every so often. If you’ve gotten hit with a grenade or C4 explosion out of nowhere in Rainbow Six Siege, it might have been a player exploiting an audio glitch in the multiplayer game.
