A Ubisoft revealed some details of the new season of year 6 of Rainbow Six Siege, Crystal Guard. One of the highlights is Croatian operator Osa, as well as changes to the Bank, Coastline and Clubhouse maps.
The new operator is a medium speed and armored attacker, having a clear, bulletproof Talon-8 Clear shield that can be deployed on the ground, in doorframes or windows. She can also walk carrying her shield, but cannot run or lie on the ground. Among the weapon options, a 556 XI semiautomatic or a PDW9 submachine gun can be used as primary weapons, while a PMM pistol is the only secondary weapon available.
The Bank, Coastline and Clubhouse maps were rebuilt from scratch to improve balance, sound propagation and lighting. New improvements include new destructible walls, locations, entrances, an alley in the Bank level and a path in the Clubhouse. Improvements to operators Finka, Sledge, Glaz, Iana, Twitch, IQ, Mute and Fuze were implemented.
