Map rework of skyscraper
The revision of the skyscraper level should have been under attack for a long time – now the time has finally come: Season Y5S4 aims to improve the gameplay balance and the navigation of the map. Several entrances were blocked and part of the balcony was removed to prevent camping. There is also a new interior space and a bridge between the VIP and tea room on the first floor.
Gameplay changes
In addition, there are a few important gameplay changes that affect the operators Jäger, Hibana and Echo, among others. Also, defenders outside of the game have had their detection time reduced from two to one second.

Defender Aruni: what can the new operator do?
The most important information about the new defender of Rainbow Six: Siege named Aruni can be found below:
- Gadget: Aruni can apply laser grids to doors, walls and hatches. That destroys enemy gadgets, deals 40 damage to incoming attackers and then disappears. The slogan “Can you take the heat?” And the logo from the official tweet indicate that the laser gadget will actually appear in Season 4.
- Melee attack: With her prosthetic arm, Aruni punches large openings in destructible walls that are comparable to a bullet hole from a shotgun. Barricades fall apart after just one hit.
- Equipment: Aruni carries either the P10 Roni from Mozzie or the MK 14 EWC from Dokkaebi as primary weapons. Your secondary weapon is the PRB92 (Beretta), plus barbed wire or the proximity alarm.
