Throughout the championship weekend of the Six Invitational, Ubisoft has announced that it should be revealing a brand new era of Rainbow Six Siege on March 13 on the Siege X Showcase in Atlanta, Georgia. A brand new attacker operator named Rauora, who hails from Recent Zealand, may also join Rainbow Six Siege.
The teaser for the large upcoming Siege update describes it as the sport’s “biggest transformation” yet. This can include each graphical and audio improvements, in addition to “deepened tactical gameplay,” although no specifics were shared. Moreover, Ubisoft said there shall be “latest ways to play,” but again didn’t say if that may are available in the shape of recent game modes or something else.
Rauora shall be available to play firstly of the upcoming 12 months 10 Season 1 as a part of the Operation Prep Phase battle pass, and shall be unlockable with Renown or R6 credits after two weeks.
Rauora is provided with the 417 designed marksman rifle or the M249 light machine gun as her primary weapon, and the GSH-18 9mm pistol or the brand new Reaper MK2 machine pistol as her secondary. The latter has a red dot sight and an prolonged magazine. Her special gadget is the Deployable Omnilink Mesh Launcher, or DOM. It’s a wise bulletproof barrier that may only be utilized in doorways and reaches all of the method to the bottom. As a wise cover, DOM can sense when ally drones are nearby and can allow them to through by lifting itself up.
DOM also has a trigger at the highest that could be opened by any operator through shooting it. While each attackers and defenders can open and shut the barrier, the attacking side has more advantages. Defenders shall be locked out for a short while when the barrier is first deployed or has just closed, and only an attacker’s presence will open it again. It also opens up much faster when an attacker triggers it.
While Rauora’s barriers are bulletproof, they’re still at risk of explosions. In addition they cannot remove Castle’s reinforced barricades if it’s already out or used while Tubarão’s Zoto Canister is in effect. Jäger’s ADS gadget may also take out DOM before it gets a probability to even deploy.
Rainbow Six Siege was released in 2015 and has been one in all Ubisoft’s premiere live-service games since. It’s gotten a ton of support of the years, most recently full cross-play in addition to stricter anti-cheat measures, including cheaters being immediately perma-banned.
Despite rumors of a sequel, Rainbow Six creator director Alexander Karpazis claimed that its a game that may “last perpetually,” which is sweet news for the nearly decade-old game. Individually, Ubisoft’s executives said that they’re doubling down on open-world and live-service games going forward.
