Players will be parting in two groups of attackers and defenders with each having only three Operators on their side, each team will jump into limited-time map Fort Truth to face-off in gunplay and secure gold in best of five rounds.
Fort Truth is an Old West themed map that will host law-abiding attack Operators Ash, Capitão, Glaz, Maverick and Twitch. They will go up against notorious Graveltop Gang, formed by defenders Alibi, Caveira, Kaid, Maestro and Rook.

Aside from a limited playable characters roster, you are only armed with a BOSG.12.2 shotgun and Magnum LFP586 as a secondary six-shooter sidearm. You are in Wild West, so learn depending on aim accuracy and real tactics to win.
Forget all cool explosives and gadgets you had in your disposal to take out enemy team or setting up barricades to halt them. However, attackers can still use smoke and frag grenades and defenders are equipped with barb wire.

In West, you cannot simply run around in your regular garb and need to outfit your Operators in cowboy hats, sheriff's badges and other various cosmetic items to match, which are all included in Showdown Collection pack.
You can even get one of these sweet exclusive item collections simply for logging in while Showdown event is ongoing and completing Ubisoft Club Challenge gets you another, which is also available at Siege in-game store for 300 R6 credits.

Nobody is getting any prep time, no reinforcements are coming to support you, everyone is wielding the same weapon types, expect some fast-paced shootout and you will not survive these 90-second rounds if you are not rowdy enough.
Instead of their typical events throughout new Seasons and years, Rainbow Six Siege took more of a Red Dead Redemption approach and that is not essentially a bad thing considering how much people loved living cowboy dreams for fun.
