A new "Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Red Crow" video teaser released by Ubisoft though its YouTube page revealed some interesting information about the game's new Skyscraper map. It also gave fans a glimpse at its two new SAT operators namely Hibana and Echo, and their weapons.
Described as Team Rainbow's Attacker, Hibana wields an X-Kairos Launcher that deploys six "Breaching Pellets" in one shot. Once fired and attached to a wall, the pellets light up before blasting a hole on any surface.
As for Echo, Team Rainbow's Defender has a Yokai drone that can be used for reconnaissance and stealth missions. The quad-motor drone can silently hover on floors, as well as on ceilings, to capture enemy movements. The new "Rainbow Six Siege" operator can also use its "Ultrasonic Burst" feature to release soundwaves that can temporarily stop an opponent in his tracks.
Meanwhile, Ubisoft recently deployed a system update that introduced "Operation Red Crow" elements to the base game, new features, as well as bug fixes that include weapon balancing and more. Game developers have improved the game's destruction tool and reconfigured some of the weapon damages seen in "Rainbow Six Siege," according to an announcement posted on the game's official website.
Five new "Red Crow" weapon skins were also added, as well as a new customization series named Elite sets. The SAT operators Kapkan, Sledge and Thermite are the first three game characters included in the new "Rainbow Six Siege" feature. Apart from an operator card and operator name, the Elite Set also contains a signature victory animation, a charm, as well as a matching uniform with headgear.
