Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege : Amethyst Weapon Skin

I want to be straight with you before you click anything: this is not a game. It is a single weapon skin for Rainbow Six Siege, one entry in a lineup of gemstone-themed cosmetic DLCs that Ubisoft released in early 2016 alongside the base game's first year of content. Knowing that upfront saves a lot of confusion, because the Mixed review score on Steam is almost entirely people registering frustration with the concept of paid cosmetic DLC rather than anything wrong with the skin itself. What you actually get here is an amethyst-toned finish that can be applied across all weapons that existed in Siege up to the end of Year One, Season Four. That is a meaningful coverage range for the era it launched in, though Siege has grown considerably since then and operators added after that cutoff will not benefit. The skin itself is a clean, purple-tinted metallic look, consistent across the board rather than a patchwork of weapon-specific variants. It reads as intentionally understated next to some of the louder cosmetic directions Siege has taken in later years, which will either appeal to you or not depending on how you feel about subtle versus flashy. The honest problem with evaluating this DLC in 2026 is that Siege now has years of Battle Pass rewards, an in-game marketplace where players can trade cosmetics, Alpha Packs, and operator-specific Elite sets that include weapon skins as part of a full bundle. The standalone gemstone skin tier, of which Amethyst is one of seven, occupies a much more crowded market than it did at launch. If you are a returning player who missed this window, the amethyst look is distinct enough that it has its own low-key personality, but you should go in knowing the competition for your cosmetic budget inside this game is fierce. Who is this actually for? Completionists who want the full gemstone set. Players who prefer a restrained color-block aesthetic over animated or cartoon-style skins. Longtime Siege fans who remember the Year One era fondly and want a cosmetic that reflects it. Everyone else will find more interesting ways to spend cosmetic money inside the game's current storefront. Alex, Scout Team
