With today's release of "Operation Void Edge" Ubisoft starts the first season of the fifth year of content since the original release of the tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege. As part of the new additional content, you will again receive two new operators, the revised Oregon map and a new Lara Croft set for Ash.
The two new operations are now available for holders of the Year 5 Pass, but they can also be activated by reputation and R6 credits from March 17th. The rest of the season's content is generally free for all players. The two new characters are announced by Ubisoft itself as follows:
-
Iana is the new attacker from the Netherlands who has a Gemini replicator and can therefore control a holographic representation of herself. As soon as she uses the Gemini, she can scout ahead with almost no consequences. The hologram can move and produces the same sounds that Iana would make. However, it cannot shoot, perform close attacks, or use other secondary devices. The replicator has a time limit and can be deactivated at any time. In addition, the clone Ianas is supposed to deceive opponents and collect information. If the Gemini is discovered and destroyed by a defender, the Iana can give an indication of the position of the threat. On the other hand, this also gives the opponents a few precious seconds in which they can reposition themselves.
-
The new defender from Jordan, Oryx, has a characteristic action, the Remah rush. Its speed enables it to move efficiently and to cover short distances with incredible speed. His ability can also be used to knock enemies over. The Remah rush can also break through destructible walls. Oryx creates large openings, but loses health every time he uses the breakthrough action. Oryx also has the unique ability to interact with open hatches. For a quick change of position, he can climb straight through or hang on the edge to peek and wait for the perfect moment to climb. While hanging, Oryx can choose to drop if climbing seems too dangerous.
The Oregon map update brings more open and structured areas. There are also new access and rotation points. The large tower is now directly connected to the kitchen.
The trailer gives you a general overview of the new DLC "Operation Void Edge" for Rainbow Six: Siege.
The other updates in this season at a glance:
