Rarest R6 Charms 2026: One-Day Drops, Retired Streamer Charms and Year 1 Exclusives

What makes an R6 charm rare

Ubisoft does not publish how many players own a charm, and Siege has no public ownership count. So this list ranks charms by the one thing Ubisoft does publish: how long a charm could be earned or bought, and whether it ever came back. A charm offered for one hour, to people who were watching a stream at the right time, is rarer than one sold in the shop for a season.

Ubisoft's Season Pass post says weapon charms arrived with Operation Dust Line and can be attached to any weapon by any operator. Every charm below is one you cannot get today, unless the table says it returned.

Why the 2018 charms stand out. Ubisoft called the Six Invitational 2018 drops a test of "a new way to distribute exclusive in-game rewards via Twitch Drops for the first time." The Diamond charm needed 12 hours of viewing in one weekend, against a single minute in the stream for Copper.

Twitch drop charms from 2025 and 2026

Since Siege X, most season launches have had a free weapon charm on Twitch for a week or two. They are less scarce than the one-hour reveal charms, but Ubisoft has not announced any of them again.

R6 streamer charms that are no longer offered

Streamer charms are earned by subscribing to that streamer's Twitch channel with a linked Ubisoft account. Since Year 4 Ubisoft has brought back the charms of earlier seasons each time, so most of them can still be earned. The rare ones are charms of streamers who dropped out of the list.

We compared all 17 streamer charm posts in Ubisoft's news feed, from February 2019 to the Y11S3 post. Ubisoft's feed has no streamer charm posts between Y4S3 and Y7S2 or between Y7S2 and Y8S3, so "first seen" can be later than the real first season and "last seen" earlier than the real last one. The Y11S3 post names 90 streamers, and Ubisoft now adds one new streamer charm per season.

Limited charms that were sold, and charity charms

  • Trick or Treat charms (October 2016): Skeleton, Black Cat, Gravestone, Ghost and Kitty Pumpkin, sold in the shop singly or as a bundle (Ubisoft).
  • R6 Carbon charm (Year 2 Pass): part of the Year 2 Pass alongside the new operators, headgear and uniforms (Ubisoft).
  • Sixth Guardian Growth charm (Y7S4): in a Melusi charity bundle for Ecologi, with 100 % of net proceeds and no less than USD 6 per bundle going to the charity, sold over two seasons (Ubisoft).
  • Sixth Guardian Hope charm (from 6 March 2025): in an Azami bundle for Worldwide Cancer Research, for a limited time (Ubisoft).

By December 2022 Ubisoft said the Sixth Guardian program had raised over USD 580,000 since 2020. Charity charms were never free and never Twitch drops, so they show up on accounts whose owners spent money in that season.

R6 charms that look rare but are not

Halloween bundle charms

The Kuru, Dead Pines Staff, Peek-A-Boo, Skully and Reaper charms came in 2017 Halloween bundles and were sold again in October 2018 (Ubisoft).

Esports Legacy Set charms

Trophy charms such as Mexico Major '21 or Six Invitational 2018 are in Legacy Sets that the R6 Esports Shop still sells as of 23 October 2026. See our R6 esports skins 2026 list.

Team Support Kit charms

The 2025 and 2026 team charms come in 720-credit Support Kits that are still on sale.

Returning streamer charms

Shroud, AnneMunition, KingGeorge and most other early names are still in the Y11S3 returning list, so their charms can still be earned.

Ranked charms sit in between: a Champion charm needs the top rank in one season, but every season hands out a new one. Our R6 ranked charms every season post covers them, and the Legend Division guide explains the top-100 charm.

What rare charms say about an account

Event-day activity

A reveal or Six Invitational drop charm proves the owner watched an official stream on a specific day. It dates the account's activity to that day.

Year 1 era

A Year 1 Season Pass charm or a Trick or Treat charm means the account was active in 2016. Those accounts usually hold Black Ice skins too; our rarest R6 skins list covers those.

Charm row length

Many seasonal and drop charms in one inventory point to an account played over many seasons, which is also what its operator count shows. See all R6 operators for the release order.

What we show

Our shop lists each R6 account's items and its peak rank, read from its highest ranked charm, before checkout.

Frequently asked questions

What is the rarest charm in R6?

Ubisoft publishes no ownership numbers, so no one can name a single rarest charm with proof. By availability window, the rarest are event charms like the Y11S3 Reveal Charm (one hour on 15 August 2026), the Y11 reveal charm (15 February 2026 only) and the charm card handed to people in the Paris arena at the Six Invitational 2026.

How do you get rare charms in R6?

Most rare charms come from Twitch drops during official streams, Six Invitational and Major broadcasts, or limited bundles. Link your Twitch and Ubisoft accounts at Ubisoft's drops page before the stream starts and claim the drop in your Twitch inventory.

Are R6 streamer charms rare?

Most are not, because Ubisoft brings back earlier streamer charms every season and you get them by subscribing. The rare ones belong to streamers no longer in the list, such as GiantWaffle, TangyD or Punjistick.

What were the first R6 Twitch drop charms?

The Six Invitational 2018 charms, 16 to 18 February 2018: Copper, Bronze and Silver for being in the stream at minute 45 each day, and Gold, Platinum and Diamond for 4, 8 or 12 hours watched.

Can you still get the Pro Team charms from 2016 and 2017?

No. Ubisoft sold the first four Pro Team charms for 600 R6 Credits each and said they were available only until the end of that season. Current team charms come in Support Kits.

Do R6 charms add value to an account?

They show history. Limited charms prove when an account was active, and the highest ranked charm shows its peak rank. Skins usually matter more for what an account is worth.

When do new R6 charms come out?

Each season adds a ranked charm, one new streamer charm and usually a launch Twitch drop charm. Split Fire's drop charm, Smells Like Burning, ran from 1 to 15 September 2026.
