I notice “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 occurring or that I am not going to let you know about it. Rainbow Six Siege is getting a brand new operator, her codename is Ram, and he or she’s from Korea.
Ram joins Siege as a part of Yr 8 Season 3, and is unlockable with the premium battle go or by spending Renown or R6 Credit in the event you wait a few weeks. She’s obtained a gadget referred to 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 fairly than stealth, with buzzsaw blades on the entrance and explosive costs on the underside. It is extra Mad Max than Sam Fisher, and may destroy deployable shields and Fort barricades whereas ignoring electrified barbed wire. Although bulletproof, it may be stopped with an impression grenade or C4, or by focusing on the crimson canister on its again that in all probability should not have been painted within the common videogame coloration for explosives and weak spots.
Ram’s loadout additionally contains an MG-E gentle machine gun and an R4-C assault rifle, with an MK1 9mm pistol and an ITA12S shotgun as secondary choices. The ITA12S is likely one of the weapons to learn from a buff to shotguns coming as a part of this season, which Ubisoft calls “a number of tweaks to points like unfold, harm, 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 be updating current operators Grim, Fuze, and Frost, modifying the way in which their devices work. It is also including a Weapon Roulette mode to the Arcade by which each participant begins with the identical randomly chosen weapon, and a sequence of latest tutorials are coming too, which must be accomplished by recent gamers earlier than they’ll be a part of multiplayer matches.
