Earlier last month, the team over at Ubisoft announced a low-budge cosplay contest for players to take part in for a chance at some pretty sweet prizes. The month has come and gone and now the winners have been crowned – and they’re pretty darn hilarious.

The contest officially went underway on October 5th when fans of the tactical shooter were encouraged to make their best outfits based on the popular operators in-game. The catch? It’s got to be low-budget and really … it was all in the name of hilarity.

“Whether it’s cardboard LMGs, soapy Cav war paint, or Headgear made out of watermelons, it’s time to show off your creative side with the Rainbow Six Siege Low-Budget Cosplay Contest!” the original announcement said. “So give us your best, your most out-of-the-box, and your most inspired Rainbow Six Siege cosplays.”

Now that the winners have been crowned and the finalists have been chosen, it’s time to look back on some of the incredible contributions to the latest community event.

As part of the winner reveal, Ubisoft took to their blog to offer a few words. “Everyone who participated did an amazing job, and your continued demonstrations of enthusiasm and creativity has been a joy to see. With much difficulty, we selected 7 finalists and 3 grand finalists whose originality in the R6 Low-Budget Cosplay Contest exceeded anything we could have imagined. The Winners and finalists will receive the full 2018 Crimsonveil Halloween Collection and R6 Credits for the top 3.”

The prizes?

1st Place: Full Crimsonveil Halloween Collection + 5400 R6 Credits
2nd Place: Full Crimsonveil Halloween + 4800 R6 Credits
3rd Place : Full Crimsonveil Halloween + 4200 R6 Credits
7 Finalists: Full Crimsonveil Halloween Collection

Now that’s what I call, tacticool bro. My low budget Tachanka cosplay #r6cosplaycontest . One pumpkin, two large cardboard boxes, a metric ton of hot glue, some paint, a couple 3rd degree burns, and a little creativity later… WAHLAH! CHANKA IS BORN! I had a lot of fun putting this together and I may do another as a side project in my free time, who knows🤷🏼‍♂️——————————————————————————————————————————This actually didn’t even cost me anything at all, everything that was used I either scavenged or already had laying around the house. So if you’re reading this mom, I know why you’re missing a pumpkin from your Fall decorations👀🎃——————————————————————————————#cosplay #rainbowsixsiege #rainbowsixsiegecosplay #tachanka #lordchanka #r6cosplay
