R6 Marketplace
❄️ Black Ice Price Index & Checklist
Black Ice prices in Rainbow Six Siege usually sit between a few hundred and a couple thousand R6 Credits depending on weapon demand, rarity, and how active the Rainbow Six Siege Marketplace is. Some variants like MP5 or R4-C tend to sit higher than niche shotguns or DMRs, but prices shift fast when supply dries up or the Marketplace reopens after downtime.

What Black Ice means in the Marketplace
Black Ice is a weapon skin line first introduced through Alpha Packs, now circulating through the Rainbow Six Siege Marketplace via buy and sell orders. You’re not dealing with fixed pricing.
You’re dealing with:
- Order book listings from other players
- Lowest-match fill system (cheapest listing sells first)
- 10% fee on every sale
- R6 Credits only, no cash-out
That setup means two identical Black Ice skins can sell at different times for different Credit values.
Black Ice price index (last known ranges)
These are reference ranges pulled from active trading before the 27 December 2025 Marketplace outage. Treat them as historical trading bands, not live prices.
Weapon category | Example weapons | Last known range (R6 Credits) |
Top AR skins | R4-C, C8-SFW, 416-C | 1,200 2,500 |
Popular SMGs | MP5, MP7, MPX, SMG-11 | 900 2,000 |
High demand rifles | F2, AR33, L85A2 | 800 1,800 |
Shotguns | M590A1, BOSG.12.2 | 400 1,200 |
LMGs | 6P41, M249 variants | 500 1,300 |
DMRs | MK14 EBR, 417 | 500 1,400 |
Sidearms (rare drops) | P226, USP40 | 300 900 |
High-demand weapons sit at the top because more players use them daily. That feeds more buy orders and tighter spreads.

What moves Black Ice prices
Black Ice pricing reacts to order book pressure, not fixed rarity labels.
Main factors:
- Weapon usage rate (Ash, Jäger, Buck weapons sell faster)
- Supply spikes from Alpha Pack openings
- Marketplace downtime cycles (like the 27 December 2025 outage)
- Buy order clustering at specific Credit bands
- 10% fee reducing seller margin pressure
Example:
- MP5 Black Ice often gets stacked buy orders near mid-range pricing
- BOSG.12.2 sits lower due to niche use
- R4-C stays high due to constant demand from Ash players
How sellers actually price Black Ice
Players who sell fast use one rule:
- Set listing 1 Credit under the lowest active sell order
The Marketplace fills the lowest matching sell order first. Undercutting the floor moves items faster than waiting for demand shifts.
Common mistakes:
- Listing far above current floor price
- Ignoring fee loss after sale
- Forgetting the 10% cut when setting final price
Marketplace status note
The Marketplace has been offline since 27 December 2025 after a major Credit duplication exploit. Ubisoft rolled back balances without bans and paused trading tied to Year 11 updates and Operation Twin Shells.
No return date exists at the time of writing.
FAQ
How many Black Ice skins exist in Rainbow Six Siege?
Black Ice covers a large pool across rifles, SMGs, LMGs, shotguns, and pistols. The exact count shifts as Ubisoft adds weapons, but it sits well above 50+ variants across operators and seasonal updates.
Why do Black Ice prices vary so much?
Prices move based on buy and sell order depth. Popular weapons attract tighter spreads and higher Credit values, while niche weapons sit lower due to fewer buyers.
Can Black Ice prices go up permanently?
No fixed direction exists. Prices react to supply, Marketplace activity, and player demand. Past spikes don’t guarantee future movement.
Black Ice remains one of the most traded skin lines in Rainbow Six Siege, but its value depends fully on Marketplace activity, not fixed rarity labels. Use the checklist to track your collection and compare it against current order book pressure when trading resumes.
