Rainbow Six Siege
Operation:Velvet Shell
-Rekon
Pack your swim trunks and your hand grenades, because you're about to head to beautiful Spain. Team Rainbow has been called to safeguard the seashore of Ibiza, Spain. Two of G.E.O.'s most resourceful Operators have been selected to provide their unique tactical expertise to the unit. Stationed on Ibiza’s rocky shore, course through Balearic ruins and navigate booming bars to neutralize the threat. Get ready for a surround flow of combat laced with chaotic rushes as you explore a paradise gone wrong.
The new Coastline map is available for free for all players.
In the latest installment and the beginning of Season 2, we kick off the firefight with 2 new Operators: Jackal (Attacker) and Mira (Defender). The new Operators are immediately unlocked for Season Pass owners, with exclusive access granted for seven days. All players can then unlock the Operators with Renown or R6 Credits after the exclusive period ends.
WEAPON SKINS
Just like every new benchmark we get and new operators, there's a brand new colorful set of weapon skins, just crying out to be strapped onto your weapons. Each new skin looks amazing and will be sure to bring the envy of your opponents and you look like a boss while sending them to the other side.
ELITE SETS
Mobilize for Year Two of Rainbow Six Siege with the next instalment of Elite sets. Rook's Gendarmerie set embodies a sense of security with their sturdy Kevlar tunic and iconic ballistic helmet.
Each set includes a matching Uniform and Headgear, Operator Card, Operator Title, Charm, and a Signature Victory Animation. Explore unique facets of history with these special packages tailored exclusively for this Operator.
NEW FEATURES
New Interface: To start everything off, they gave us a brand new navigation interface at the start. The new design will make all player activities such as challenges, news, and boosters all available in one place. It will also offer a quick access to your last gamemode selection. Now the new nav system actually remembers your last style of game played. So for example, if you last played a Ranked match, clicking the play button will send you queueing into a Ranked match. If you want to change up to Terrorist Hunt or Casual, you can click the arrow to the right of the button or select the “Play” tab in order to get the other options.
Dynamic Challenges: In the new menu display, we now also have a new way to track and manage our challenges. There's now a new system that allows you to quickly see your progression on your challenges. Clicking the button on the screen will pop out a panel that will display your current challenges.
Updated News Display: Similar to before, the News Section at the bottom will still be there, but with more detailed information when you click the panel.
New Rank Display:That's right! For all those that NEED their ranked fixes, there's a brand new display. Ranks in each tier will now go from four to one as you get closer to the next tier instead of one to four. For example, the lowest rank in the Gold tier will be Gold 4 and the highest will be Gold 1. So now it's more a count down to you unlocking further greatness. A more obvious change is that they are introducing a new look to the rank
