Four years after launch, Rainbow Six Siege is\u00a0arguably better than\u00a0it’s ever been. Today marks the beginning of another year of content. Operation\u00a0Burnt\u00a0Horizon follows the\u00a0Siege tradition of introducing\u00a0two new operators as well as a new\u00a0map, Outback, set in Australia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new attacking operator, Gridlock, uses\u00a0a new gadget called Trax Stingers she can deploy on the ground to slow down defenders’ movements or force them to abandon entrenched positions, as they slowly drain health. The new defender Mozzie, is an Aussie hacker who can commandeer\u00a0opposing players’ drones with his Pest Launcher bots.<\/p>\n
The new content drops comes alongside some balance tweaks, including another modification to the lean camera and cleaned up running animations. Ubisoft also raised the barrier to entry for ranked playlists from level 20 to 30.\u00a0Read all about the extensive changes in the official patch notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n To learn more about Operation: Burnt Horizon, you can watch our resident R6S nut mop up some fools in our recent New Gameplay Today video:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n If you plan to play today, remember to make time for the sizeable update.
