Rainbow Six Siege: How to Get Renown Fast

Purchasing Boosters

How to Get Renown Fast in Rainbow Six Siege

Like with many games released this year, Rainbow Six Siege includes microtransactions for all manner of different items such as weapon skins and renown boosters. These renown boosters are the best way to increase your haul of renown over specific periods of time. Quick 24-hour boosts can be purchased for small amounts of R6 Credits which can be bought with real-life cash, and week-long boosters can be bought for significantly more credits. While it may seem like a bit of a cheat to purchase these boosts with your renown, if you use them properly your investment will reap you some great rewards.

If you took part in any of the betas for the game, you may have also been alerted that there was a free booster available for you to use at your leisure. Oh, and if you select the ‘Uplay’ option under the ‘Play’ tab, you can get yourself a free ‘Wecome Booster’ and use thirty Uplay credits to grab 200 renown. It’s only a temporary 24-hour boost but any increase in your renown will help to unlock those operators and weapon skins you’ve been eyeing up for a while.

Watch the Tutorial Videos

The easiest way to bring in a quick bundle of renown is to go through the tutorial videos that can be found under the ‘Tutorial’ option within that ‘Play’ menu. If you head into this option you’ll see three videos ‘Barricade’, ‘Floors’, and ‘Walls’. If you want you can sit and watch for the helpful advice that these can give if you’re in more of a hurry to jump in, however, you can just skip out of them by pressing circle or B and confirm you want to skip the video.

After watching or skipping each of these videos, you’ll be rewarded with 200 renown. Not bad for what could possibly be a couple seconds of your time. Do this for all three of the videos available and you’ll be rewarded with an extra 200 renown for watching all of the tutorial material available. We’re not going to say no to 800 quick and easy renown, that’s for sure.

Complete Additional Objectives

Rainbow Six Siege’s single player ‘Situations’ missions task players with completing one main objective such as rescuing and escorting a hostage to safety, or simply eliminating all of the terrorists off the map. Completing these main objectives and getting kills will get you renown just as it does in the multiplayer aspect of the game, although, this isn’t in huge amounts.

The best way to build up your renown through the Situations is to complete the three side objectives on each mission. Completing all of these will not only earn you a three-star rating and push you ever closer to the ‘Completionist’ trophy but will also grab you an extra 200 for each completed side objective.

With 10 Situations available for players to shoot their way through, that’s a grand total of at least 6000 renown up for grabs. Be warned, though, completing some of these objectives can be a little trickier to achieve in the later missions.

Use Your Boosters Wisely

One of our earlier tips was to grab some boosters and increase the amount of renown you’re earning for your playtime by 50%. These are definitely going to help you see a big increase in the amount of that clout you’re bringing in, but clever players will use these tactfully.

For example, if you and a group of your friends all activate boosters at the same time and play as part of a squad, you’ll receive an even greater boost on the renown you earn in-game. For each teammate in your squad that has a booster active, you will earn an additional 10%. If all of your team have boosters active you’ll gain an additional 5% boost taking the total up to a massive 95% extra boost to your renown earned.

The more of your friends who activate the booster the higher the % increase you’ll see. Therefore, if you’re about to sit down for an evening of terrorist hunting with your friends, be sure to all activate your boosters all at once and watch the points roll in. Oh, and don’t activate a booster just as you’re about to go off for the night and won’t be getting on it for a significant amount of time, instead activate that 24 hour booster over a weekend when you’ve got plenty of free time with your friends to really maximize the benefits of using one of these boosters.
