Everything Coming To Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Deadly Omen
Deimos is a fearsome new Attacker equipped with the DeathMARK Tracker gadget. The gadget is able to reveal the target’s precise location as a live ping and Deimos’ location until the gadget’s time runs out or one is killed. Tactically, this probe is capable of anti-roaming, avoiding enemy flanking and to distract enemy Operators. A brutal Operator, Deimos can control any map by pinpointing an enemy’s location. Deimos is a two speed, two health Operator. His loadout features an AK-74M or a M5904A1 as a primary weapon, with a brand-new powerful revolver, .44 Vendetta, as a secondary weapon.
Shields will get revamped to change the current meta in-game to be more tactical and have more impact on gadgets. The game will also implement important upgrades to Attachments & ADS. Operation Deadly Omen, specifically, focuses on balancing mechanics and Operators for compelling gameplay. Additionally, Year 9 Season 1 will introduce a critical balancing update for the Japanese Operator Azami. This update is just one part of a balancing initiative to ensure Siege remains competitive and engaging for both Attackers and Defenders.
Important player comfort updates, such as Locker, a new inventory management menu, will also arrive to improve how players manage their cosmetics. Specifically, the Locker allows players to easily sort and view the cosmetics they own, making equipping skins more convenient.
Effective training and onboarding continue to be a priority. This is especially true as the game calls back to its core tactical gameplay experience. The Versus AI Playlist continues to evolve. This mode continues to enhance through new maps and additional Operators to practice with and play against. This mode will allow new and returning players to familiarize themselves with in-game tools. It encourages experienced players to hone their skills in competitive play.
Rainbow Six Siege is now available to play on PlayStation4, PlayStation5, the Xbox One family of consoles, Xbox Series X | S, Windows PC, including on Ubisoft+, Ubisoft’s subscription service*, and Amazon Luna.
