What is Renown in Rainbow Six Siege?
Renown is Rainbow Six Siege's free in-game currency. You earn it by playing matches, finishing challenges and leveling up, and you spend it on operators, weapon attachments and some cosmetics. The premium currency is R6 Credits, which are bought with real money.
How to earn Renown
- Play matches: every match pays Renown, with more for wins.
- Complete challenges: daily and weekly challenges give extra Renown.
- Level up: account level rewards and the Battle Pass include Renown.
- Boosters: temporary boosters increase the Renown you earn per match.
What Renown is used for
The main use is unlocking operators, which matters because a bigger operator pool keeps you useful when your main is banned or picked. Leftover Renown goes to attachments and some cosmetic items in the shop.
Example
A new player saves Renown from a week of matches and challenges to unlock a hard breacher, so they can fill that role when the team needs it.
