Ubisoft has revealed which Rainbow Six Siege esports teams will be featuring in the R6 SHARE scheme, which drops today, September 22.
R6 SHARE will work similarly to initiatives seen in other shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. In-game weapon and character skins featuring esports teams' branding can be purchased by fans, with a cut of the proceeds going to the organisations and pro players. For R6 SHARE, teams will receive 30% of the revenue generated by sales of their specific cosmetic items, and 30% of that cut is guaranteed to go straight in the players' pockets.
The 42 teams included in the R6 SHARE program are split into three tiers based on their stature in the Siege esports scene. Tier 3 teams will have branded weapon skin available in the store, Tier 2 teams will have a skin plus a weapon charm, and Tier 1 teams will have a full bundle featuring a weapon skin, charm, and Operator skin - and boy do they look good.
