Here’s your in-depth look at the latest Rainbow Six Siege: Rengoku Event:
Rengoku 2025 Overview
The Rengoku event is live now and runs from July 30 through August 13, 2025 in Rainbow Six Siege X. It’s a fast‑paced, limited‑time 5v5 game mode set on a reimagined Skyscraper map, where teams battle for control of shifting ancient altars in a mythical setting steeped in sun goddess vs. storm god lore.
Gameplay Mode: Control the Area
- Control the Area matches feature:
- Infinite respawns with 10‑minute rounds.
- Three altars activated at match start; altars relocate every two minutes to one of eight fixed spots.
- Teams score Favor Points by staying near uncontested altars; first to 300 points wins, or highest score when time expires.
- All Operators share the same movement speed and health (200 HP) and wield shotguns as their primary weapon—such as SPAS‑12, M590A1/M1014, SG‑CQB, Supershorty, and Bailiff depending on edition.
Kunai Mechanics: Your Only Gadget
- Every Operator replaces their unique gadget with a throwable kunai knife.
- Primary throw: instant kill on direct hit or destroys large structures.
- Secondary throw: triggers area effects such as fire, poison, stun, knockback, plus heal and freeze effects in 2025.
- Additional layers: kunai types include explosive or barrier variants that help teams build or breach defenses.
