Rainbow Six Siege dev is nerfing Blackbeard and buffing Kali in Year 6 Season 1. ... Ubisoft has just posted its Y6S1 pre-season designer's notes which reveal, among other things, that two key Rainbow Six Siege operators are in for some balance changes when the new season drops.

Why did Kali get nerfed?

The current build of the game has Kali in a terrible spot because her sniper rifle doesn't really work out in close-quarter combat. Kali comes into play when both Thatcher and Maverick are banned, so Ubisoft is trying to increase Kali's pick rate by increasing her weapon's damage.

Does Kali still one shot?

When it comes to casual players, Kali is a fun and unique operator to play. Her rifle kills players with one headshot, downs players with a single hit to the torso, and breach unreinforced hatches in one shot.
