Rainbow Six Siege: How Azami's Gadget Breathes Life Back Into the Game
As changes, balance patches, and new modes come with every new season of Rainbow Six Siege, so too does a new operator. Kicking off year 7's first Siege season is the defender Kana «Azami» Fujiwara. She comes equipped with the 9x19 VSN submachine gun and the ACS 12 shotgun (both very good options in their respective weapon classes), a D50 handgun for a sidearm, and barbed wire and impact grenades as her secondary gadgets.

They can also break if an enemy steps on them (so it can't wall off hatches). Apart from these instances, the barriers are completely bulletproof.

This forces the attacking team to be more cautious around areas with Kiba Barriers, as they don't know where the defenders can get cheeky angles on them.
Defensively, placing Kiba
