Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siegeis taking on the US Independence Day weekend with a brand new cowboy-themed mode.
The new mode is called Showdown, and its new map is the old-timey Western Fort Truth.
It even comes complete with new outfits to make you feel at home on the range.
The announcement comes straight from Ubisoft, who says that this new Showdown mode is limited-time.
It will only run from July 2nd to July 16th.
That also means that players have just those two weeks to nab all of the exclusive gear.

The most sought after pieces will likely be the Western-themed outfits.
Ubisoft promises 31 themed exclusive items, including “headgear” for 10 operators.
Naturally, cowboy hats are in the mix.
Of course, cool skins are only part of what makes a limited-time event work.
Showdown will have to really change up theRainbow Six Siegeformula to become a memorable event.
To that end, it seems the developers are embracing the Western theme for more than just the map.
Fort Truth will function as a 3v3 “secure area key in” map.
One trio attacks while the other holds the fort.
The HUD will also be restricted to simulate the lack of electronic displays.
You’ll have to eyeball it like a proper gunslinger.
This limited Showdown seems to already be a hit with players.
Fans are drawing the inevitable comparison toRead Dead Redemption 2,which is pretty good company to keep.
