The funniest part about the arknights collab is that in that universe gunpowder was never invented, and instead in order to shoot bullets they use a combination of originium (rocks that are the main energy source in that world) and their version of magic wich has been stated multiple times you have to be highly trained in those in order to even use a pistol (in fact some soldiers still use bows and ballistas because they're far easier to shoot in comparison). So when team rainbow arrives and need to have their weapons modified in order to have compatible ammunition in that world and the engineers see that their guns require none of the aforementioned things. EVERYONE WAS FLABBERGASTED ON HOW THEY COULD EVEN FUNCTION. They literally describe them as if it was the most alien technology they've ever witnessed and couldn't even fathom the fact Tachanka's machinegun was capable of shooting lethal round up to 700m away, best they could with the replacement ammo was 300.
I still find it pretty funny that a random anime game gave some of these ops more character in a single event than Ubisoft did in nearly a decade. There's a reason why Originium Dust is still considered one of the best side stories in AK up to this day.
Arknights has always focused on the character,every single one of them has atleast some depth into their own lore,some connected with other and theres shitloads of character to be obtained,heck its already on 300 count mark,and since they make money from the character gacha themselves,its kind of mandatory,but the story itself is somewhat good,some parts are goated some are meh and some are straight up unfatomably questionable (like how is thet even possible kind of things),to summarize it they really care about the details
As an arknights player who really enjoyed the collab events, after watching Lufa's "the worst lore in modern gaming" about R6. I was shocked to learn how stupid the actual R6 Seige lore got with an elite special forces group playing airsoft as a televised event. It's kind of funny because one story thread in AK has a similar thing happen. There is a nation called Kazimierz, which had a strong knightly tradition which by the time the game takes place has largely been subverted by corporate interests, houses of knights battle in televised duels and become celebrities with endorsements and sponsorships and such. A large part of the theme of these stories is how absurd and cynical this is. Given that we know the lead dev of arknights is a big Siege fan I wouldn't be surprised if he was in part inspired by that.
The bit also got inspiration from E-sports with the color scheme of red and blue for Maria Nearl event, and so of the influence leaked into the whole Kazimierz story as well if I rememebr correctly.
Arknights atleast paid homage to the Tom Clancy Rainbow Six IP in the Siege crossover. They even recreated the old 2015 wallpaper of Siege in the second collab story ( 3:00 This one)

Its not just lines but they also have individual storys in a form of op files, records and their module story My favorite for the op files is Fuzes because of him saving a infected child (Infected are what they call if you contact oripathy the magic rock cancer) and the child being fascinated on hes cluster charge.The kid then gave him hes teddy bear and fuze just got an idea goes to hes workshop does an all nighter and gave back hes teddy bear which is now wooden and works like hes cluster charge as a present for the kid That kid will definitely turn into an engineer
the arknights devs literally said they often play 5-stack on siege and im pretty sure a large part of arknights's old UI was very similar to siege's UI, it's safe to say without siege arknights would've been very very different or just straight up doesn't exist
As others in the comments mentioned, the R6 Siege x Arknights collab event is so well written that I recommend finding a video that shows all the story scenes of both Operation: Originium Dust and Operation: Lucent Arrowhead. It was really enjoyable to see Rainbow operators study and make comparison of the world of Arknights to our real world. Not only that, Arknights alone has some really refines and fleshed out worldbuilding and lore. The game might be a bit tricky to get into, but I know Arknights has its own anime now if you'd like to experience it in that medium too.
It’s still one of my (top 1) favorite collab events, I had so much fun reading archive files and stories about Team Rainbow’s perspective in the world of Arknights.
yup, was pretty jarring back then they were also the first characters with accents in their english voice lines the first one or two batches of english voice lines for regular operators were all just standard american english ones
I’m not sure if you’ve had the opportunity, but even if you aren’t fully immersed into the world of Arknights. Operation Originium Dust and Operation Lucent Arrow head are genuinely must reads. As an Avid Arknights player, I haven’t really enjoyed reading an event story more than the Rainbow six siege events. There’s something about seeing Ash and Co out of their element and seeing them come to terms with the situation they are in. Plus, they also get to see the grim reality of how cruel the world of Arknights is.
Damn, I’ll be honest, I kinda disregarded the game cuz of all the gacha shit in it. But after reading a lot of comments like yours I honestly might look into the lore
@@ehsrrim Honestly enough, most of the people play it more for the tower defence aspect more than it is the gacha. Obviously yea, you get those who do, but you also have a lot of people who are HUGE into the lore of arknights. Like without spoiling much relating to Lucent Arrowhead, Seeing Doc's reaction to Oripathy aka the games in world sickness, is honestly touching. Cause outside Lucent Arrowhead, there's this thing called operation records, which is mini side stories for characters in the game, Lucent Arrow head gave every R6S character an operation record which basically features their journey around the world of arknights and Doc being the chad he is, He's taking care of an entire town full of infected.
@@ehsrrim I also despised most gacha games for being cash grabs or too centralized on fanservice, that is until i met the exception called Arknights. While the first few parts of the game are a bit of a grind is nothing much compared to the reward the story has to offer later on. (first few chapters are pretty ok but gets real good later)
@@ehsrrim iirc there was a video by a youtuber called Haedal who gave an abridged version of arknights setting lore and a separate video on the eldritch oceanic monsters titled The Most Varied World in Gaming
Arknights is a the goat in story telling and world building so it is given how well they can make these characters or help the developers interact with the world that Hypergraph created.
Both the Siege collabs in Aknights were such good events. Real glad they reran the first one as well, since I didn't play yet when the first collab happened. Also of the skins released in the events, Ash's has to be one of the best. As, besides it looking great, the fact that Ash had chosen to put on fake cat ears and a tail in order to blend in and is the only one in her squad to do so is hilarious.
The biggest irony of 2nd Arknights x R6 collaboration is that the antagonist in the 2nd story event is a conman that sells NFTs. And Ubisoft are selling NFTs. Dafuq did just Ubisoft greenlit that story event for Arknights ironically?
I recommend checking out a video about both of the R6 collabs in Arknights. They also have some cool artworks that are wallpaper worthy. The E2 art of them is pretty cool aswell .
It takes a great deal of effort to make a questionably canon cameo character not just feel like they fit in a world, but fit so well that the community headcanon relationships between them and canon characters. EG: Blitz adopting Liskarm. Now to put this into perspective just how impressive this is, Gacha game players can get pretty possessive of their characters, like the infamous Type-95 fiasco with Girls Frontline. So for a dude to show up and the community reaction to be “You are the father!” is a Herculean achievement.
Yeah, I'm not involved with the community and I didn't even know what gacha was until recently, so I wasn't expecting for the characters to be as renowned as they are.
Looking at the comments it seems like you have been well informed already on how the Arknights side felt about the collab, but yeah it was very popular and many of us enjoyed how the R6 characters were written and interacted with the Arknights world and characters. Not only that but the opportunity was used to get some clarifications and world building for our own setting too since the story could use the eyes of people from a setting closer to real life to give us perspective.
If you haven't read the story of The Watchtower 33 Incident in Arknights, the entire thing is really well written and heartbreaking, explaining in good detail the aspects of Arknights from the perspective of the normal person. Including how tragic death can be for someone who's infected
Can you imagine the conversation that lead to this point? Just: Unisoft exec 1: "what you playing there" Unisoft exec 2: "oh some kinda mobile tower defense game" Exec 1: "looks neat" Exec 2: "yeah it's pretty decent" Exec 1: **takes 29th hit from his crack pipe** "what if we put like the seige operators in this" Exec 2: "...wha-" Exec 1: "like a collab between this an r6 and they can be charecters in the game and we could add some new skins and shi to our game" Exec 2: "..." Exec 1: **takes 30th hit from his crack pipe** Exec 2: "Nick you're an absolute genius, ill go get the phone"
@lulu111_the_cool "So you're a representing hypergryph?" "Yes" "and you want to do a Collab between our Tactical shooter and your... tower defense gacha game?" "Yes" "...yeah idk about this" "I'll give you a 12 pack of beer and a high five-" "SOLD!"
Honestly, I clicked on this thinking it was another Arknights video, didn't expect it to be the other way around lol. I play both games, so I'm happy to learned that it is well recieved by a Siege player that don't play AK!
1:20 you're not the only one. I think its because we already associate the default operator skins to be immersive and what it's supposed to be for! The cream de la cream, the elite fighting figure.
I still don't get why the arknights collab wasn't a 2 sided collab, I mean they would have been printing money if they gave ash her arknights skin but in siege
@@LawzarXR Which is so little compared to other collabs Ubisoft done before. I know the collab happened mostly because Lowlight himself wants it but they can't even at least do a few weapon skins for the guns? Some Arknights themed skin would be nice.
Fuze played hostage and got shot multiple times by incompetent security guards thst he was training. He could even heat the attack team talking so loud outside that the Defense team, who was one dude guarding Fuze, just walked out, beat them up and reported back to Fuze. Another round and the attackers shot Fuze multiple times during s firefight with the defenders and their only excuse was "It's fine to shoot him. He's wearing armour"
Lmao. I forgot about that training session with Fuze. That it was to the point that he had to break free to the captivating because of their incompetence
But the Arknights collab can't be canon, bc otherwise that'd imply Ash/Ela/Doc/Frost/Tachanka/Iana/Fuze are AWOL in the Siege universe, since theyre stuck in Arknights's universe with no way out
Noncanon for r6 but in ak... there was at least a 2 year in-universe timeskip between the first collab and the second collab story but they cut back to the aftermath of the first batch getting isekaied to reveal that it has only been 1 earth month for the people still on earth in the second collab's story vs the 2 years Ash, Blitz, Frost and Tachanka spent in another world and they gave us massive worldbuilding for arknights' universe tech tree (in a world where explosives are also widely used, an engineer in ak doesnt know what nitrocellulose is, promoting any of the r6 collab characters to E2 gives you access to either the head of engineering or some other engineering team member racking their brains over earth tech and trying to integrate it with their scientific fantasy magic system powered by cancer/aids causing magic rocks)
@@mikku54432 so this is basically like *What if scenario* things right? it didnt happen in r6s universe(since its an alternative story). Im still curios about how Arknights saying which Event is canon or which is not canon (i mean if one day we got an operator that had connection on the r6s event like the one NPC that Fuze encounter then possibly i can consider it canon) But the collab event didnt effect much on main story of arknight
considering the state ubisoft is in, they more than likely may do more collabs out of desperation, who knows, we may actually get a pretty good two way collab between RS6 and arknights, I can see it working, tis a shame though arknights respects the characters and lore of RS6 more than ubisoft, but I can't complain too much, it leads to goated events there, spices up the game a good bit
You summoned Arknights player lmao. Tbf, even the collab is enjoyable even for the og players of arknights. It explores how an earth human would react to the Arknighs' Terra. It was funny to see Doc and Iana react to 2 liters shampoo set for Lupo (race based on wolf and has fluffy tail), racism between Sankta (based on angel) and Sarkaz (based on devil). There are other things to0, like how Terrans are just built different than real life human, like how a little girl managed to curb stomp Fuze in a brawl and Terrans easily shrug off point blank shotgun and machine gun shot without being dead. The reaction of R6 teams to protagonist faction "Rhodes Island *Pharmacutical Inc.*" having a safe house in a middle of nowhere having explosives and weapons and questioning whether Rhodes Island is really a pharmaceutical company (minor spoiler: they are more of a non-state actor and active in intervening in major international incidents) was amusing too while also hit the players with how ridiculous Rhodes Island is.
Honestly, an Expendables crossover would be an easy way to get all the og muscle men hollywood stars in R6. Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, (even Antonio Banderas in the 3rd movie). It's honestly surprising that Mortal Kombat of all games got some of these guys to collab with them but Ubisoft can't do a simple Rambo, Predator, or Terminator crossover
In arknights tachanka adopt some in ak russians school girls, that genuinely just a normal high schooler until one day they didn't. And its honestly touching
Specifically, those high schoolers got caught in a rebellion that caused the destruction of a city, and they suffered a lot of trauma because a particularly sadistic commander within the rebel group that took over the city set up a situation to trigger infighting between the students, kinda similar to Battle Royale. They are the survivors of the clash and later get recruited for logistics duty and a bit of combat (because the world of Terra in AK is harsh, even for kids, so they have to learn how to survive by fighting)
I like the Deep Sea gear on Ace because ive always had a fascination with the ocean, plus he's in basically the Norwegian equivalent to the Coast Guard, so it at least makes a modicum of sense
I gotta check out footage of the R6 AK collab. Looks interesting. Also, I think it may be better to not give the series the movie treatment, not until the team making it did look into the game a decent bit.
I like video game collabs because they make sense, and when they did the April fools event, with all the bright pink fuzzy colors, I thought it was funny and assumed stuff like this was gonna happen 1 time. So seeing them do the Rick and Morty shit took away from the realistic astatic that I like to see.
I would honestly rather that than Deadpool, Deathstroke fits the more gritty vibe of siege, although Lowkey it might look a little goofy seeing him run around.
I remember the first collab with siege came out two years after I started ak. I don’t remember the story too well but i do think i remember lord chanka, bless his holy name, kept a pet slug even when their supplies were low because he found them cute. Dunno if he kept it after moving in. Vanilla has a few of her own too, maybe they bonded, There was also really good dialogue about real issues. Arknights has racism against infected who are, well, people infected with magic rock cancer, originium, who, as a side effect, can also use magic. Notable infectee symptoms can be seen in patriot and eyajfalla. Patriot is a wendigo, the last of his kind, marching on from wars long past. His body is like 98 percent originium. By the time you defeat him in game you are fighting the shadow of a living legend. Eyaj, bless her soul, is almost blind, mostly deaf and can barely walk or talk. Yet her near death status makes her a very potent caster. She’s volcanic. Anyway that’s not important but basically, amiya, main mc assistant, remarked how nice earth is to not have infectees and, thus, earth lack arknights racism. Yeahhhhhhhh…. The r6 ops had an awkward laugh at that. Really highlights how gloomy arknights and irl is.
R6 x Ready or not which is literally regular Ready or not but with skins and gadgets from siege. The game from the e3 demo that we fucking deserve, not majima punching master chief in the nuts.
Im an Arknights player. And im the kind of person who like to know the lore of the games i play. Arknights has a great team for Lore and World Building it really amaze me that a gacha game has Fantastic stories. Thats why im not surprised of how well they integrated Collab Characters to the world of Arknights. and we had 4 Collab Events thus far. 2 of which is Rainbow 6: Siege. I dont know anything about Rainbow 6: Siege and i only knew of the games existence because of the first collab. As expected, Operation: Originium Dust (Ash, Blitz, Frost, and Lord Tachanka) was a well written story, but it didnt made me curious about R6S Then Operation: Lucent Arrowhead (Ela, Iana. Fuze, and Mah boy Doc) came along, and boy oh boy. The event brought a ton of new stories for all eight R6 Operators. and every single one of them is Amazing Those stories mostly focus on their solo adventures on Terra (Arknights' world). Doc's story is the one that hits me the most that it made me read his lore on the actual R6 Lore and in return, i read ALL of R6S Lore From Gerald Morris to Kure Galanos You name it, I know it. Its just a shame that all Collab events on Arknights is not really cannon Would love to see the R6 Operators integrated in the main story, especially Doc.
@@maximACMNwith chapter 14, they could've died due to heavy exposure from originium. Unless they're just out there rescuing civilians instead of engaging in the frontlines.
@@johnbas1564From lore of Babel event about Originium, I doubt they can be infected. From what I understand, Terrans can be infected because they have some kind of DNA-level of connection to Originium. Something Doctor lacks, since he is from before Originium existed (plus, the one who created it), reason why he can't be infected, even after stabing himself with an Originium shard or inhaling Originium dust. So I think Earth humans have the same immunity to Originium as Doctor.
What do you think of Monster Hunter and Legend of Luo Xiaohei after their collabs, and do you plan on checking out Dungeon Meshi once the collab drops on EN?
I am all for silly cosmetics in games my issue is when the game ads pretend its a super serious game, then like a month later we have THE most out of place crossovers and originals
1:10 That's a totally normal thing, especially for the OG siege playerbase. That's what we initally came for, "realistic" anti-terror gunplay with destructive walls and floors. Ubi kind of destroyed the spirit of this game with all these bright flashing outfits and gun skins. If I didn't like the idea of siege so much (and actually had money to buy other games) I would be playing something like Ready Or Not or maybe just stay with singleplayer games (at least there I usually can ignore updates if I don't like them) The one skin I really don't like is the Pizza one it's so stupid
I expect a dumb full on 90-s like action movie about Siege it ever comes to reality. With all that choreography melee fights. Hell it'll be even better with those 80-90s filter on it.
Yeah cuz I only just started doing commentary, but I used to do either animations, shitposts or just random videos, so inevitably when people forgot who I was and saw some random shitty video on their feed they'd unsubscribe. So I'd rather you subscribe but turn off notifications and then come back if you see a video you like.
what even funny ubisoft try to put arknights in r6 but not noticeable because it only a charm and character background wallpaper. atleast put something like weapon skin one one operator skin like doc to become, obviously, doktor from arknights, aka, you. that I'm gonna spend money on
The first Arknights x R6 event was really fucking good, it was pretty lore heavy for the time, they answered a lot of questions we had, the second one was good but more lackluster.
AK is a neat game, if you have some time to commit to the game it will bring you enjoyment. The story is good but from stuff i heard it falls off after chapter 10 or so.
I always thought there would be a collab between arknights and extraction due to some enemies and lore having similarities and overlapping in some cases.
3:30 Well for that Ubisoft need to not close ... and at this rate the risk is real (loose 60% of the value) or they will maybe be buy by Tencent ... so ;o
I just want to say, Siege having a crossover with xenoblade might get be back into the game. Obviously there's no chance of this happening bcause nintendo, but it'd be so fucking funny having Noah running around with a gun or Lanz walking around with Monty's shield holing a pistol behind it. Just imagine Shulk swinging you saying "I'm really feeling it!" As he shotguns you in the face
Bro, i will never see collab with Star Wars, and i don't mean cringey Darth Vader running with C4 or kinda shit, i just want to play as Stormtrooper/Clonetrooper.
Without Remorse is the movie, and yeah I think there is a mention of team rainbow, and there will be a movie connecting Without Remorse to the Rainbow Six universe. I actually forgot all of this was happening. Thanks for bringing it up
I wish extraction got more love. I just wana play some challenging PVE Siege with people. I know theres Ready or Not but i just wana see more modes for Siege. It has very few modes
I would love it as long as its well written and properly portrays the characters, but honestly if they keep doing what they are doing with the cinematics its gonna be great.
Elite squad has more going for it Actually, respects and makes use of the old lore siege inside and out is not good since inception, it should have never existed It retcons the entire franchise and took its best features from the corpse of rainbow six patriot And that is a war crime

It’s still one of my (top 1) favorite collab events, I had so much fun reading archive files and stories about Team Rainbow’s perspective in the world of Arknights.
Arknights collab was the best thing R6 ever had
2:51 Also, apparently, they were the very first characters in the game to have English voices way before Arknights ended up getting an English dub.
yup, was pretty jarring back then
they were also the first characters with accents in their english voice lines
the first one or two batches of english voice lines for regular operators were all just standard american english ones
I’m not sure if you’ve had the opportunity, but even if you aren’t fully immersed into the world of Arknights.
Operation Originium Dust and Operation Lucent Arrow head are genuinely must reads.
As an Avid Arknights player, I haven’t really enjoyed reading an event story more than the Rainbow six siege events.
There’s something about seeing Ash and Co out of their element and seeing them come to terms with the situation they are in.
Plus, they also get to see the grim reality of how cruel the world of Arknights is.
Damn, I’ll be honest, I kinda disregarded the game cuz of all the gacha shit in it. But after reading a lot of comments like yours I honestly might look into the lore
@@ehsrrim Honestly enough, most of the people play it more for the tower defence aspect more than it is the gacha.
Obviously yea, you get those who do, but you also have a lot of people who are HUGE into the lore of arknights.
Like without spoiling much relating to Lucent Arrowhead, Seeing Doc's reaction to Oripathy aka the games in world sickness, is honestly touching.
Cause outside Lucent Arrowhead, there's this thing called operation records, which is mini side stories for characters in the game, Lucent Arrow head gave every R6S character an operation record which basically features their journey around the world of arknights and Doc being the chad he is, He's taking care of an entire town full of infected.
@@LynxRecruit never knew the story of the game was so well written, goes to show not to judge a book by its cover.
@@ehsrrim I also despised most gacha games for being cash grabs or too centralized on fanservice, that is until i met the exception called Arknights. While the first few parts of the game are a bit of a grind is nothing much compared to the reward the story has to offer later on. (first few chapters are pretty ok but gets real good later)
@@ehsrrim iirc there was a video by a youtuber called Haedal who gave an abridged version of arknights setting lore and a separate video on the eldritch oceanic monsters titled The Most Varied World in Gaming
Arknights is a the goat in story telling and world building so it is given how well they can make these characters or help the developers interact with the world that Hypergraph created.
Arknights's 2nd collab with R6 there was an EX stage that was straight up breach and clear scenario but in a tower defense style
Both the Siege collabs in Aknights were such good events. Real glad they reran the first one as well, since I didn't play yet when the first collab happened.
Also of the skins released in the events, Ash's has to be one of the best. As, besides it looking great, the fact that Ash had chosen to put on fake cat ears and a tail in order to blend in and is the only one in her squad to do so is hilarious.
The biggest irony of 2nd Arknights x R6 collaboration is that the antagonist in the 2nd story event is a conman that sells NFTs. And Ubisoft are selling NFTs. Dafuq did just Ubisoft greenlit that story event for Arknights ironically?
GOD MOTHERFUCKING DAMN! PEAK ARKNIGHTS MENTIONED!
DAMN RIGHT 🔥🔥🗣🗣 (I have never played arknights)
I recommend checking out a video about both of the R6 collabs in Arknights. They also have some cool artworks that are wallpaper worthy. The E2 art of them is pretty cool aswell .
3:42 the book written directly by Tom Clancy was pretty good, if they just take HUGE amounts of inspiration from the book then it should be fine
It takes a great deal of effort to make a questionably canon cameo character not just feel like they fit in a world, but fit so well that the community headcanon relationships between them and canon characters.
EG: Blitz adopting Liskarm.
Now to put this into perspective just how impressive this is, Gacha game players can get pretty possessive of their characters, like the infamous Type-95 fiasco with Girls Frontline. So for a dude to show up and the community reaction to be “You are the father!” is a Herculean achievement.
Yeah, I'm not involved with the community and I didn't even know what gacha was until recently, so I wasn't expecting for the characters to be as renowned as they are.
Waiting for that 3rd R6 collab with Arknights so I can have a full team of R6 Operators.
Looking at the comments it seems like you have been well informed already on how the Arknights side felt about the collab, but yeah it was very popular and many of us enjoyed how the R6 characters were written and interacted with the Arknights world and characters. Not only that but the opportunity was used to get some clarifications and world building for our own setting too since the story could use the eyes of people from a setting closer to real life to give us perspective.
If you haven't read the story of The Watchtower 33 Incident in Arknights, the entire thing is really well written and heartbreaking, explaining in good detail the aspects of Arknights from the perspective of the normal person. Including how tragic death can be for someone who's infected
The collab story with Arknights was the most fire story I read its basically an isekai with r6 charas
ddlc cought me off guard there im not gonna lie
I think you're the only one who has mentioned it
Can you imagine the conversation that lead to this point?
Just:
Unisoft exec 1: "what you playing there"
Unisoft exec 2: "oh some kinda mobile tower defense game"
Exec 1: "looks neat"
Exec 2: "yeah it's pretty decent"
Exec 1: **takes 29th hit from his crack pipe** "what if we put like the seige operators in this"
Exec 2: "...wha-"
Exec 1: "like a collab between this an r6 and they can be charecters in the game and we could add some new skins and shi to our game"
Exec 2: "..."
Exec 1: **takes 30th hit from his crack pipe**
Exec 2: "Nick you're an absolute genius, ill go get the phone"
More like. The other way around. The creator of Arknights asked Ubisoft for the Collab
@lulu111_the_cool
"So you're a representing hypergryph?"
"Yes"
"and you want to do a Collab between our Tactical shooter and your... tower defense gacha game?"
"Yes"
"...yeah idk about this"
"I'll give you a 12 pack of beer and a high five-"
"SOLD!"
Honestly, I clicked on this thinking it was another Arknights video, didn't expect it to be the other way around lol. I play both games, so I'm happy to learned that it is well recieved by a Siege player that don't play AK!
My only complaint is that Ubisoft does nothing for the R6S side of the Arknights collabs. Not even originium gun skins.
Liskarm is basically an inspired character of Blitz
Peak mentioned.
1:20 you're not the only one.
I think its because we already associate the default operator skins to be immersive and what it's supposed to be for! The cream de la cream, the elite fighting figure.
I still don't get why the arknights collab wasn't a 2 sided collab, I mean they would have been printing money if they gave ash her arknights skin but in siege
i would have played siege if tachanka's and doc's arknights skins are in there too
@@chachao9605 tachanka's skin is in the game, its like literally in the video too.
Technically, it is. A charm of the doctor and the cattle (a known meme) and the background card of Rim Billiton
@@LawzarXR Which is so little compared to other collabs Ubisoft done before. I know the collab happened mostly because Lowlight himself wants it but they can't even at least do a few weapon skins for the guns? Some Arknights themed skin would be nice.
@@tweetug3697
I mean it's better than nothing
Arknights 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Fuze played hostage and got shot multiple times by incompetent security guards thst he was training. He could even heat the attack team talking so loud outside that the Defense team, who was one dude guarding Fuze, just walked out, beat them up and reported back to Fuze. Another round and the attackers shot Fuze multiple times during s firefight with the defenders and their only excuse was "It's fine to shoot him. He's wearing armour"
Lmao. I forgot about that training session with Fuze. That it was to the point that he had to break free to the captivating because of their incompetence
But the Arknights collab can't be canon, bc otherwise that'd imply Ash/Ela/Doc/Frost/Tachanka/Iana/Fuze are AWOL in the Siege universe, since theyre stuck in Arknights's universe with no way out
it's canon to AK universe at the very least
I know, it was just funny to think about
Noncanon for r6 but in ak... there was at least a 2 year in-universe timeskip between the first collab and the second collab story but they cut back to the aftermath of the first batch getting isekaied to reveal that it has only been 1 earth month for the people still on earth in the second collab's story vs the 2 years Ash, Blitz, Frost and Tachanka spent in another world and they gave us massive worldbuilding for arknights' universe tech tree (in a world where explosives are also widely used, an engineer in ak doesnt know what nitrocellulose is, promoting any of the r6 collab characters to E2 gives you access to either the head of engineering or some other engineering team member racking their brains over earth tech and trying to integrate it with their scientific fantasy magic system powered by cancer/aids causing magic rocks)
@@inhhy3202 no its not canon to the ak lore
@@mikku54432 so this is basically like *What if scenario* things right? it didnt happen in r6s universe(since its an alternative story).
Im still curios about how Arknights saying which Event is canon or which is not canon (i mean if one day we got an operator that had connection on the r6s event like the one NPC that Fuze encounter then possibly i can consider it canon)
But the collab event didnt effect much on main story of arknight
considering the state ubisoft is in, they more than likely may do more collabs out of desperation, who knows, we may actually get a pretty good two way collab between RS6 and arknights, I can see it working, tis a shame though arknights respects the characters and lore of RS6 more than ubisoft, but I can't complain too much, it leads to goated events there, spices up the game a good bit
I hope we can get Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, or Watch Dogs collab too
You summoned Arknights player lmao.
Tbf, even the collab is enjoyable even for the og players of arknights. It explores how an earth human would react to the Arknighs' Terra. It was funny to see Doc and Iana react to 2 liters shampoo set for Lupo (race based on wolf and has fluffy tail), racism between Sankta (based on angel) and Sarkaz (based on devil). There are other things to0, like how Terrans are just built different than real life human, like how a little girl managed to curb stomp Fuze in a brawl and Terrans easily shrug off point blank shotgun and machine gun shot without being dead. The reaction of R6 teams to protagonist faction "Rhodes Island *Pharmacutical Inc.*" having a safe house in a middle of nowhere having explosives and weapons and questioning whether Rhodes Island is really a pharmaceutical company (minor spoiler: they are more of a non-state actor and active in intervening in major international incidents) was amusing too while also hit the players with how ridiculous Rhodes Island is.
Honestly, an Expendables crossover would be an easy way to get all the og muscle men hollywood stars in R6. Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, (even Antonio Banderas in the 3rd movie). It's honestly surprising that Mortal Kombat of all games got some of these guys to collab with them but Ubisoft can't do a simple Rambo, Predator, or Terminator crossover
Nah but the arknights side of the collab was fire especially Operation: Originium Dust
In arknights tachanka adopt some in ak russians school girls, that genuinely just a normal high schooler until one day they didn't. And its honestly touching
Specifically, those high schoolers got caught in a rebellion that caused the destruction of a city, and they suffered a lot of trauma because a particularly sadistic commander within the rebel group that took over the city set up a situation to trigger infighting between the students, kinda similar to Battle Royale. They are the survivors of the clash and later get recruited for logistics duty and a bit of combat (because the world of Terra in AK is harsh, even for kids, so they have to learn how to survive by fighting)
Only thing that R6 had from Arknights was a charm and operator background and that was only after their second collab, Operation Lucent Arrowhead 🙁
I like the Deep Sea gear on Ace because ive always had a fascination with the ocean, plus he's in basically the Norwegian equivalent to the Coast Guard, so it at least makes a modicum of sense
Yeah I loved that skin too, I'm actually a fan of his whole coast guard lookin attire as well
u have summoned the hivemind , arknights mentioned 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
I gotta check out footage of the R6 AK collab. Looks interesting.
Also, I think it may be better to not give the series the movie treatment, not until the team making it did look into the game a decent bit.
I recommend watching the 'R6S operator only' event clear by Mr.Gotcha, see if you recognise everyone lol
I like video game collabs because they make sense, and when they did the April fools event, with all the bright pink fuzzy colors, I thought it was funny and assumed stuff like this was gonna happen 1 time. So seeing them do the Rick and Morty shit took away from the realistic astatic that I like to see.
It’s all fun and games until goro majima takes out his knife instead a gun in rainbow six siege
I wanna see vigil as Deathstroke so bad
ខ្ញុំយល់ព្រមបង!
@@Darthinferus what the fuck
I would honestly rather that than Deadpool, Deathstroke fits the more gritty vibe of siege, although Lowkey it might look a little goofy seeing him run around.
Ese ultimo "nos vemos boludos" caught me completely off guard
Bueno, lo hice pensando que nadie lo iba a ver
@@ehsrrimMe cagué de risa con eso xddd
I genuinely wonder what would happen if the SCP foundation and R6S had a collab
I remember the first collab with siege came out two years after I started ak. I don’t remember the story too well but i do think i remember lord chanka, bless his holy name, kept a pet slug even when their supplies were low because he found them cute. Dunno if he kept it after moving in. Vanilla has a few of her own too, maybe they bonded,
There was also really good dialogue about real issues. Arknights has racism against infected who are, well, people infected with magic rock cancer, originium, who, as a side effect, can also use magic. Notable infectee symptoms can be seen in patriot and eyajfalla.
Patriot is a wendigo, the last of his kind, marching on from wars long past. His body is like 98 percent originium. By the time you defeat him in game you are fighting the shadow of a living legend.
Eyaj, bless her soul, is almost blind, mostly deaf and can barely walk or talk. Yet her near death status makes her a very potent caster. She’s volcanic.
Anyway that’s not important but basically, amiya, main mc assistant, remarked how nice earth is to not have infectees and, thus, earth lack arknights racism. Yeahhhhhhhh…. The r6 ops had an awkward laugh at that. Really highlights how gloomy arknights and irl is.
R6 x Ready or not which is literally regular Ready or not but with skins and gadgets from siege. The game from the e3 demo that we fucking deserve, not majima punching master chief in the nuts.
The Arknights collab rules because it was made with love.
And Hypergryph also does a lot of justice for Monster Hunter, Legend of Luo Xiaohei, and Dungeon Meshi
An animated series following a r6s competitive team would be fun.
Arknights is the goat even in collabs, I'm so glad when i first heard of arknights back when it was announced by yostar, i played it since day one
Im an Arknights player. And im the kind of person who like to know the lore of the games i play.
Arknights has a great team for Lore and World Building
it really amaze me that a gacha game has Fantastic stories.
Thats why im not surprised of how well they integrated Collab Characters to the world of Arknights.
and we had 4 Collab Events thus far. 2 of which is Rainbow 6: Siege.
I dont know anything about Rainbow 6: Siege and i only knew of the games existence because of the first collab.
As expected, Operation: Originium Dust (Ash, Blitz, Frost, and Lord Tachanka) was a well written story, but it didnt made me curious about R6S
Then Operation: Lucent Arrowhead (Ela, Iana. Fuze, and Mah boy Doc) came along, and boy oh boy.
The event brought a ton of new stories for all eight R6 Operators. and every single one of them is Amazing
Those stories mostly focus on their solo adventures on Terra (Arknights' world).
Doc's story is the one that hits me the most that it made me read his lore on the actual R6 Lore
and in return, i read ALL of R6S Lore
From Gerald Morris to Kure Galanos
You name it, I know it.
Its just a shame that all Collab events on Arknights is not really cannon
Would love to see the R6 Operators integrated in the main story, especially Doc.
It is cannon, but probably just not mentioned
@@maximACMNwith chapter 14, they could've died due to heavy exposure from originium. Unless they're just out there rescuing civilians instead of engaging in the frontlines.
@@johnbas1564From lore of Babel event about Originium, I doubt they can be infected.
From what I understand, Terrans can be infected because they have some kind of DNA-level of connection to Originium.
Something Doctor lacks, since he is from before Originium existed (plus, the one who created it), reason why he can't be infected, even after stabing himself with an Originium shard or inhaling Originium dust.
So I think Earth humans have the same immunity to Originium as Doctor.
What do you think of Monster Hunter and Legend of Luo Xiaohei after their collabs, and do you plan on checking out Dungeon Meshi once the collab drops on EN?
Is funny how R6 is based of a BOOK and is supposed to be story driven but it probably has some of the worst lore in modern gaming 😭😭😭
I am all for silly cosmetics in games my issue is when the game ads pretend its a super serious game, then like a month later we have THE most out of place crossovers and originals
You absolutely nailed it
1:10 That's a totally normal thing, especially for the OG siege playerbase. That's what we initally came for, "realistic" anti-terror gunplay with destructive walls and floors. Ubi kind of destroyed the spirit of this game with all these bright flashing outfits and gun skins. If I didn't like the idea of siege so much (and actually had money to buy other games) I would be playing something like Ready Or Not or maybe just stay with singleplayer games (at least there I usually can ignore updates if I don't like them)
The one skin I really don't like is the Pizza one it's so stupid
I expect a dumb full on 90-s like action movie about Siege it ever comes to reality. With all that choreography melee fights.
Hell it'll be even better with those 80-90s filter on it.
Is this the first UA-camr to ask about turning off notifications when subscribing? You've got me with this
Yeah cuz I only just started doing commentary, but I used to do either animations, shitposts or just random videos, so inevitably when people forgot who I was and saw some random shitty video on their feed they'd unsubscribe. So I'd rather you subscribe but turn off notifications and then come back if you see a video you like.
@@ehsrrim and that's really kind of you
what even funny ubisoft try to put arknights in r6 but not noticeable because it only a charm and character background wallpaper. atleast put something like weapon skin one one operator skin like doc to become, obviously, doktor from arknights, aka, you. that I'm gonna spend money on
I'm glad you're enjoying the story too XD

Marine with no Jazz
The first Arknights x R6 event was really fucking good, it was pretty lore heavy for the time, they answered a lot of questions we had, the second one was good but more lackluster.
AK is a neat game, if you have some time to commit to the game it will bring you enjoyment. The story is good but from stuff i heard it falls off after chapter 10 or so.
I always thought there would be a collab between arknights and extraction due to some enemies and lore having similarities and overlapping in some cases.
3:30 Well for that Ubisoft need to not close ... and at this rate the risk is real (loose 60% of the value) or they will maybe be buy by Tencent ... so ;o
I totally agree, I prefer the more toned down skins to the anime characters we get now
0:23 Everyone thinks, yet not many has the balls to admit i guess 😂

No shame in that bro
1:16 meanwhile ace default headgear is trash thats why i bought him an elite bundle coz its more "tactical" lmao
The R6xAK collaboration is wack yet interesting
That's exactly how I view it too
I just want to say, Siege having a crossover with xenoblade might get be back into the game. Obviously there's no chance of this happening bcause nintendo, but it'd be so fucking funny having Noah running around with a gun or Lanz walking around with Monty's shield holing a pistol behind it.
Just imagine Shulk swinging you saying "I'm really feeling it!" As he shotguns you in the face

How has r6 not done a collab with watchdogs. Seriously someone could look really good as Aiden Pearce
I tk a ace once bc of his rick and morty skin
Well I don't think we should take it that far, but whatever floats your boat mate
I wish R6 would collab with GFL

I wish extraction got more love. I just wana play some challenging PVE Siege with people. I know theres Ready or Not but i just wana see more modes for Siege. It has very few modes

Dose anybody wants a r6s animation series in the opertaors trailer style like the animated ones?
I would love it as long as its well written and properly portrays the characters, but honestly if they keep doing what they are doing with the cinematics its gonna be great.
Elite squad has more going for it
Actually, respects and makes use of the old lore
siege inside and out is not good since inception, it should have never existed
It retcons the entire franchise and took its best features from the corpse of rainbow six patriot
And that is a war crime
