New operator Skopós
The new character of season 3 of year 9 Rainbow Six Siege It is an old acquaintance for veterans of the saga, since the true identity of Skopós is Kure Galanosone of the original operators of R6: Rogue Spear.
Galanos is in a wheelchair, but continues to participate in combat using two shells or robotic casings that he can control remotely.
Skopós is a Greek defender (originally from Cyprus). Her two shells are called Talos y Colossi and we can switch between them in the middle of the action. The shell that is not in use can be left in a defensive state somewhere on the map as if it were a collapsible shield. It can also be used as an observation object. In the meantime, the asset works like any other operator in use.
Their main disadvantage is that the shells cannot be cured, but they are immune to gases. Now let’s look at their characteristics:
- Health: 2
- Speed: 2
- Main weapon: PCX-33 assault rifle
- Secondary weapon: Pistola P229
- Gadgets: Proximity alarm / Impact grenade
New Weapon: PCX-33 Assault Rifle
Skopós’ primary rifle is highly customizable and highly accurate.
