14 DAY TRIAL // There's no resting for Rainbow Six Siege players, as Ubisoft has just taken the wraps off Year 6 content, which will debut soon with operation Crimson Heist. The first new piece of content for fans of Ubisoft team-based shooter will bring a new Attacker, Flores, as well as a secondary weapon and a rework for the Gonne-6 and Border map.
While the new Attacker will be available at launch through the Crimson Heist Battle Pass as the first unlock of the premium track, those who don't pay for the premium pass will be able to unlock the new class with Renown or R6 credits two weeks later.
Naturally, the Gonne-6 and Border map rework will be available for free to all players at launch, along with the Match Replay feature, which will enter its beta phase on PC.
As far as the new Attacker goes, Flores is a medium-speed, medium-armor attacking Operator from Argentina. He's using RCE-Ratero gadgets to clear out Defender obstacles, including barricades, shields, and barbed wire, but these can also target enemy gadgets, like Bandit's batteries or Maestro's Evil Eyes.
Thanks to his perks, Flores is best used to clear the way for his allies to advance, as he can even open large holes indestructible walls or blow open unreinforced hatches to open up new routes.
Flores typically carries an AR-33 assault rifle or SR-25 marksman rifle in his primary weapon slot, and his GSH-18 sidearm. Furthermore, select Attackers will have another explosive option for their loadouts when Crimson Heist introduces Gonne-6. This secondary weapon can make a big difference by taking out bulletproof gadgets, including bulletproof cameras, deployable shields, Maestro's Evil Eye turrets, Castle's barricades, and more.
Last but not least, Ubisoft made small changes to increase mobility to the Border map, which will be re-released when Crimson Heist launches. Also, the ambient noises on the map have been updated.
