About Heated Metal
Heated Metal is an SDK (Software Development Kit) for Rainbow Six Siege that adds extended capabilities to Shadow Legacy (Y5S3), Neon Dawn (Y5S4) and, in an unstable build, New Blood (Y9S2). It gives you more control over how the game plays and looks.
You can use the built-in Map Editor to make and share your own maps. It also unlocks all weapons, attachments, and cosmetics including content that was cut from the game. For more advanced tweaks, there’s Quarrel, a scripting tool that lets you create your own game logic and behavior.
Whether you're new to modding or have been doing it for a while, Heated Metal makes it easy to experiment and try new things in Siege. The project is led by @Zer0Bytes.
