Ubisoft Is Sending Out Compensation to Rainbow Six Siege Players — What to Claim and How to Use It

This caught my attention because Rainbow Six Siege is both extremely live-service dependent and brutally honest about progression – when the in-game economy breaks, it changes how everyone plays for weeks. Ubisoft’s compensation is generous, but knowing what to do with it separates casual recovery from a Year 11 advantage.

Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege Compensation: Log In, Claim, and Turn It Into Progress

• Log in between Jan 16-25 (Jan 26 in some time zones) to auto-receive the compensation package.
• Package: four 4× Battle Pass XP boosters, 10 Battle Pass levels, 1 Delta Pack, 1 Alpha Pack, and the Auric Mold P-10C skin.
• Marketplace remains offline and account rollbacks are ongoing – rewards appear in Inventory > Gifts within 24-48 hours; plan booster timing.
• If you miss the window you won’t get the free levels; other compensation routes are limited – act during the login window.

What exactly you get (quick)

Log in during the window and you’ll automatically receive: four 24‑hour 4× Battle Pass XP boosters, ten Battle Pass levels (instantly applied), one Delta Pack, one Alpha Pack, and the Auric Mold skin for the P‑10C. These are meant to offset lost Marketplace trades, rolled‑back inventories, and downtime from voice chat/marketplace outages.

Why this matters beyond a few cosmetics

Two holiday hacks dumped enormous fake credits and Renown into Siege, forcing Ubisoft to disable the Marketplace and roll back inventories. The compensation accelerates Battle Pass progress (10 levels + 4× boosters), which in Year 11 unlocks operator cosmetics and attachments that would otherwise take hours of play or money. For competitive players and streamers this shortens the grind and restores lost progression timing — but the Marketplace outage means some tradable value is still locked until it reopens.

How to claim — quick platform checklist

Prerequisites: an active Ubisoft account linked to your platform and the latest Year 11 client (patch 11.0.1 or later). No special action beyond logging in during the window — open Siege, make sure you hit the online servers (a quick Casual match is fine), then check Inventory > Gifts. If rewards don’t appear within 48 hours, expect queuing while rollbacks finish.

PC (Ubisoft Connect / Steam / Epic)

• Fully launch the Ubisoft client or Steam/Epic and start Siege (ensure it’s updated).
• Enter matchmaking briefly — login triggers distribution; no victory needed.
• Check ESC > Inventory > Gifts to verify packs and boosters.

Console (PS/Xbox)

• Start the full game (disable Quick Resume on Xbox to force a clean launch).
• Link your Ubisoft account in Settings if not already linked.
• Enter a quick match and then check Battle Pass / Inventory for the applied levels and items.

Practical tips to maximize value

• Save boosters for concentrated sessions: use one 4× booster on a day you plan multiple wins or high‑XP modes (Unranked, limited events, or co‑op T‑Hunt). A single 24‑hour 4× gives the best return when paired with daily XP multipliers or double XP events.
• Apply the 10 Battle Pass levels immediately if you want instant cosmetics or to skip grind walls — they’re most valuable early in the pass when high‑tier exclusive items unlock.
• Open the Alpha Pack first (higher elite chance); Delta Pack can be used later for filler drops. Keep the Auric P‑10C in your inventory until the Marketplace reopens if you want to trade it or keep its value intact.
• Voice chat is still down — use Discord or platform party chat for team coordination until Ubisoft confirms restoration.

What to watch for and potential hiccups

Rollbacks are ongoing, so if your inventory looks wrong the compensation may queue until your account state is fixed. Server “full” or matchmaking delays are possible; a simple client restart often resolves it. Ubisoft has stated Marketplace access will return only after additional safeguards — don’t expect immediate trading liquidity.

My take — generous but cautious

Ubisoft’s package is meaningful: 10 instant levels plus four 4× boosters is the kind of compensation that actually restores progression momentum, not just a handful of credits. That said, the core value of some items is muted while the Marketplace is offline. Treat this as a chance to accelerate Battle Pass goals and shore up inventories, but keep expectations realistic about trading value until Ubisoft reopens and secures the market.

TL;DR

Log in between Jan 16-25 (or Jan 26 local) to get four 4× Battle Pass XP boosters, 10 Battle Pass levels, a Delta Pack, an Alpha Pack and the Auric P‑10C skin. Rewards will appear in Inventory > Gifts within 24–48 hours as rollbacks complete. Save boosters for focused grinding, open Alpha Packs first, and don’t expect Marketplace trading to resume immediately — plan gameplay, not instant profit.
