One cool weapon skin is available for free if you watch the official or partnered streams. In the Silent Hunt Battle Pass, you can receive unique items!

Operation Silent Hunt in Rainbow Six (R6) Siege X started on March 3. To celebrate the first season of Year 11 — and collaboration with Metal Gear Solid — Ubisoft is giving away a pretty decent cosmetic as a Twitch Drop.

Alongside the many rewards in the R6 Silent Hunt Battle Pass, two items stand out the most.

Starting from March 3 and up to March 10, you can get a free skin by watching Rainbow Six Siege X streams.

  • AK-12 — You need to accumulate three hours of watch time to unlock the skin. It’s shown in the image below. The AK-12 is used by Fuze and Ace.

Among the many rewards in the new Battle Pass, two are worth special attention. They are actually unique items for your Rainbow Six Siege X collection.

  • The Silent Hunt Battle Pass tiers include two Black Ice Packs. Skins in green, pink, purple, or red colors are among the potential drops as well. Previously, only blue variants were available for the iconic Black Ice weapons. Each Pack is a source of one random skin.

Additionally, the Silent Hunt Battle Pass season is a way to receive Solid Snake as a playable R6 Siege X operator. He is available right after purchasing the Premium tiers.

As for operator skins, you can get the Psycho Mantis outfit for Smoke.
