The most problematic Operator in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege isn't giving Ubisoft a break, with Clash removed once again from the tactical shooter. The Met Police defender, characterized by her high-voltage CCE Shield, has been the source of continued game-breaking glitches since her Grim Sky debut. While first quarantined in May 2019, followed by another absence just seven months later, the arrival of another exploit has sidelined the Operator for the third time in one year.

The nature of Clash's deployable, transparent shield has caused regular headaches for Ubisoft, with players uncovering methods to fire her secondary weapon with the bulletproof glass still raised. For a multiplayer title like Rainbow Six Siege, with a heavy reliance on its competitive tactical setting, those issues serve potentially game-breaking threats. And while Ubisoft announced Clash's return only one month ago, a new bug has impacted the Operator.

"We are deactivating Clash today," stated Rainbow Six Siege Community Manager, Jenny Feng, on Reddit. "We have become aware of an exploit, and have decided to deactivate Clash. As such, Clash will not be available for play until we have resolved the issue."
