Rainbow Six Siege’s Operation Steel Wave has arrived
Rainbow Six Siege’s latest update, Operation Steel Wave, is now live on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
This new update brings with it two new Operators: Ace and Melusi. Ace is a Norwegian attacker who comes equipped with the S.E.L.M.A. Aqua Breacher, a throwable that sticks to any surface and slowly destroys up to three panels. S.E.L.M.A. can also destroy any defensive gadget. Joining Ace is Melusi, a South African defender who uses the Banshee Sonic Defense, a deployable gadget that lets out a slowing scream when an attacker passes by it.
In addition to the new Operators, Operation Steel Wave reworks the House map. This revamped version of the map adds a new section to the south side, makes most floors breakable, and makes major changes to the garage and workshop.
Other changes include a rework for Amaru, a new Proximity Alarm secondary gadget, an Elite Set for Echo, and a new set of weapon skins. Read the full patch notes here.
