There's nothing quite like playing online with your closest
friends. Not only is it more fun than teaming up with strangers,
but there's a different level of trust, communication and
understanding - all of which are vital to success in Rainbow Six
Siege. If you're playing on PC and find that you wish you had that
kind of bond with your squadmates, good news: this Friday, you can
invite up to four friends to jump in and play all of Rainbow Six
Siege until Sunday night. If you're an
existing player on PC, head to www.rainbow6keys.ubi.com, and you can give up to four
buddies full access to the game through Uplay - just enough to fill
out your squad. From 3:01 p.m. PST on Friday, December 18, to 9:01
p.m. PST on Sunday, December 20, they can join you (or strike out
on their own) in 5v5 multiplayer matches or co-op Terrorist Hunt
runs. They can even play through the single-player Situations,
which is a good idea anyway, as it'll help them acclimate to
Rainbow Six Siege's unique pacing and Operator abilities. If just
playing with buddies isn't enough of an incentive to bring your
friends in, referrers will also be rewarded with a 24-hour Renown
Booster (to be delivered shortly after the program ends) for each
friend that redeems a key. You can send your friends keys right
now, giving them the chance to preload through Uplay and be ready
to breach at 3:01 p.m. PST on Friday. Best of all, if any
"recruits" decide they want to keep playing after Sunday, they'll
be able to get a 25% discount on the full game from Uplay, and keep
all the progress they've earned. Also, if you're playing on
a powerful rig, be sure to pick up the Ultra HD Texture Pack, which
we've
detailed here. And for regular Rainbow news updates, be sure to
keep an eye on the Rainbow Six
Siege blog. For
