Rainbow Six Siege‘S Year 6 continues with the arrival of Season 3, Crystal Guard, now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S. As in previous seasons, Crystal Guard brings a new operator – an attacker named Osa, who wears the Talon-8 shield as her device. Of course, this is no ordinary sign. The Talon-8 provides protection for Osa’s head while she’s wearing it (as opposed to other defenders’ deployable shields), but most importantly, it has a transparent, bulletproof section that lets Osa see and accommodate potential threats and enemies creates some interesting tactical options. Osa is also armed with either a 556xi or a PDW9 as a primary weapon and a PMM as a secondary weapon.
Crystal Guard also offers revised maps. Coastline, Bank and Clubhouse have all received modifications and changes, from closed windows and new alleys to more destructible parts and new bomb locations. In addition to general updates and improvements, several Operators have received adjustments in the name of Balance, including Finka, Sledge, Gaz, Iana, Twitch, UQ, Mute and Fuze. These updates are free for all players.
In addition to the new gameplay updates, 3rd grade players will have instant access to Osa, but the Premium Battle Pass will be available to all other players on September 21st through Reputation or R6 Credits.
If you don’t have to jump in just yet Rainbow Six Siege, the game will be playable for free on Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S from 9th to 12th September. You can also get it at a discount of up to 80% off at this point, and your progress from the free weekend will carry over to the full version of the game. Rainbow Six Siege can also be played with Xbox Game Pass.
