Rainbow Six Siege's Doktor's Curse Halloween Event Returns
The limited-time Halloween mode runs from Oct. 15 to Nov. 1 and features a new Mythical weapon cosmetic.
Rainbow Six Siege's Halloween-themed Doktor's Curse event will run from Oct. 15 to Nov. 1.
The limited-time mode transforms the Clubhouse map into a spooky version and replaces the standard attackers and defenders with Hunters and Monsters.
The game mode follows a Hide and Seek format where the Hunters logically go after the Monsters.
The Hunters win the round if they end up killing all the Monsters.
The event's highlight is the new Moonlit memento weapon skin, described as the jewel of the crown.
Just like most recent memento weapon skins, the Moonlit skin is a Mythical gun cosmetic that comes with a unique weapon inspection animation.
"When players trigger it they can see some type of plasma monster bitting the gun. In the end, the monster gives up on the weapon," the notes state.
It combines silver and light blue shapes, making it a unique gun skin.
The Moonlit skin isn't universal and it can only be used on Smoke, Mute, and Warden's M590A1 shotgun.
Mythical weapon skins are highly praised by all players in Rainbow Six Siege, but getting your hands on these is pretty difficult and expensive.
Players can unlock the Moonlit Mythical memento weapon skin by either paying 4,100 R6 Credits for the Moonlit Bundle or completing the Doktor's Curse cosmetic collection.
The Moonlit Bundle includes the Moonlit weapon skin for Smoke, Mute, and Warden's M590A1 shotgun as well as five Doktor's Curse Event Packs.
It costs 4,100 R6 Credits for non-Premium Battle Pass owners and 3,690 for Premium Battle Pass owners.
The Doktor's Curse collection includes 33 items.
Considering players can get one for free and a couple through weekly challenges, players must buy the other 30 items in the collection.
As each pack is 300 R6 Credits, or 270 for Premium Battle Pass owners, the final price is 9,000 or 8,100 R6 Credits to unlock the whole Doktor's Curse collection.
That's the equivalent of USD$55 - USD$60.
Purchasing these bundles is always expensive, which makes the skin really unique and hard to obtain.
In other words, Mythical skins, especially those in time-limited events, are exclusive.
The event's return follows other recent Rainbow Six news, including Ubisoft's plan to revive the in-game marketplace after a year-long closure.
