Overview of the Rainbow Six Siege Marketplace
The Marketplace will enable players to buy and sell weapon skins, charms, uniforms, headgear, and other cosmetics directly with each other. Players can list their unwanted items and set their own prices.
- This will provide an alternative to relying solely on Alpha Pack drops or purchasing premium bundles to acquire the exact item you want.
- The Marketplace also allows acquiring rare and discontinued skins that are no longer available.
According to the announcement, 100% of Marketplace proceeds go directly to the sellers. However, Ubisoft will be collecting a small transaction fee.
