What is the Tour De Force battle pass?

The Tour De Force battle pass is part of the Operation Steel Wave seasonal event for Rainbow Six Year 5 Season 2. You will be able to earn experience to count towards special rewards, including uniforms, weapon skins, Alpha Packs, and charms, just by playing Siege.

There is a new battle pass every season, and they usually run for about a month, so you have plenty of time to try and grind your way to the end.

How much will the Tour De Force battle pass cost?

There are two tracks to the Tour De Force battle pass ⁠— the free track and the premium track. The free track is as described: you won’t need to drop a single dime to progress through it. However, you’ll only get access to limited rewards.

The premium track is where all the goodies are at. At every pass level up from tier one to tier 45, you’ll get something to add to your collection. It’ll set you back 1200 R6 points ($10 USD) to pick it up, but you’ll earn back most of the cost throughout the pass.

If you choose to buy the premium track halfway through the event, you won’t need to start from scratch either. If you don’t know how much Siege you’ll be playing, but find yourself near the end of the pass, you can pick it up and get all those rewards retroactively.

How many tiers are there in the Tour De Force battle pass?

There are 45 tiers in the Tour De Force battle pass. This is up from previous battle passes, which have featured around 35 to 40 tiers of rewards.
