When does season Y8S2 ‘Operation Dread Factor’ start in Rainbow Six Siege?

The new content will arrive in the game on Tuesday May 30, 2023.

Fenrir: The New Operator

This is the new Defender.

Fenrir’s ‘gadget’ is the F-NATT Dread Mine. This device releases a “fear gas” that limits the field of vision of those affected, reduc ing their ability to attack. Its equipment is complemented with a MP7

Fenrir will have two health points and two speed points.

Consulate Map Changes

The changes or ‘rework’ of this map seek to make it more balanced. One of the most notable differences is a change to attacker spawn point so that they can more easily reach the main building.

Changes to the shooting range

When we visit the shooting range to practice with weapons we will find a new target line that allows us to customize our training with different types of targets, movement speeds, distance and more.

We can also place destructible walls to test the damage that different weapons do to it.

Other changes and news of the Dread Factor season in Rainbow Six Siege Y8S2

• New playlist with arcade modes like ‘Headshots Only’, ‘Snipers Only’, ‘Golden Gun’, ‘Deathmatch’ and the new ‘Free for All’.
