Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege players will have the opportunity to participate in an entirely new event this month when Apocalypse is available! Starting on May 4, the Year 6 Season 1 event focuses on a devastated world. The Apocalypse event will run until May 18. A new mode called Canister will see two teams of operators battle each other. The Guardians are Maestro, Melusi, Rook, Smoke, and Valkyrie. The warband are Fuze, Gridlock, Maverick, Nomad, and Twitch. Both sides are fighting to obtain the last plant left on Earth, in order to help humanity rebuild itself.
A preview of the event can be found in the embedded Tweet below:

During the event, players will have the opportunity to view a post-apocalyptic version of the Outback map in Vessel mode. In Canister, The Keepers operators (defenders) must protect the canister containing the plant until time runs out. Meanwhile, The Warband (attackers) will try to “deactivate the boat that carries the plant.” In addition to these goals, either side can also secure a victory by eliminating the opposing team.
The operators of the two teams will have a number of new elements to adapt to the theme of the event. The Apocalypse Collection will include uniforms, hats, and weapon skins. Players can purchase Operator Packs for 1680 R6 Credits each, or Apocalypse Packs for 300 R6 Credits or 12,500 Renown. By logging in during the event, players will get a free bundle, which could contain four charms or an exclusive weapon skin for the season bundle.
Overall, this seems like a very exciting event. Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves as it goes live today. Rainbow Six Siege is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
