I understand “Rainbow Six Siege is getting a brand new operator” is at a “Malibu Stacy is getting a brand new hat” degree of predictability at this level, however that does not imply it is not taking place or that I am not going to inform you about it. Rainbow Six Siege is getting a brand new operator, her codename is Ram, and she or he’s from Korea.
Ram joins Siege as a part of 12 months 8 Season 3, and is unlockable with the premium battle cross or by spending Renown or R6 Credit for those who wait a few weeks. She’s acquired a gadget known as the BU-GI Auto-Breacher, which is “an armored drone that tears aside destructible flooring, busts via barricades, and wrecks Defender traps because it rolls autonomously ahead on its path”, as Ubisoft’s announcement places it.
Her drone is all about destruction somewhat than stealth, with buzzsaw blades on the entrance and explosive costs on the underside. It is extra Mad Max than Sam Fisher, and might destroy deployable shields and Fortress barricades whereas ignoring electrified barbed wire. Although bulletproof, it may be stopped with an influence grenade or C4, or by concentrating on the purple canister on its again that most likely should not have been painted within the common videogame coloration for explosives and weak spots.
Ram’s loadout additionally contains an MG-E mild machine gun and an R4-C assault rifle, with an MK1 9mm pistol and an ITA12S shotgun as secondary choices. The ITA12S is without doubt one of the weapons to learn from a buff to shotguns coming as a part of this season, which Ubisoft calls “a bunch of tweaks to points like unfold, injury, vary, and headshot modifier, all aimed to make them extra constant and dependable.” The tweaks will not have an effect on slug shotguns, nonetheless.
This season, Operation Heavy Mettle, can also be updating present operators Grim, Fuze, and Frost, modifying the way in which their devices work. It is also including a Weapon Roulette mode to the Arcade wherein each participant begins with the identical randomly chosen weapon, and a collection of recent tutorials are coming too, which must be accomplished by contemporary gamers earlier than they will be part of multiplayer matches.
