Rainbow Six Siege Operation Solar Raid: Drone cosmetics, ADS movement update, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Operation Solar Raid is all set to come to the live servers of Rainbow Six Siege on December 6, 2022. The expansion will be one of the biggest updates that Siege has ever received to date. A brand new map called the Nighthaven Labs will be added to the map pool along with Colombian Operator, Solis.

The expansion is looking forward to bringing a variety of changes for players that will improve the title's quality of life in the longer run. Rainbow Six Siege will receive a plethora of customization options along with new cosmetics. Ubisoft has also planned some global balancing changes with the goal of making the game fairer for everyone.

All of these changes and tweaks will be available right after Operation Solar Raid goes live.

Ubisoft will be introducing drone skins in Operation Solar Raid. For the first time ever, players will be able to customize their drones with cosmetics. Earlier, only Twitch had the option to pull up the Elite set skin on her drone as it was a part of her bundle.

The Rainbow is Magic limited-time event was the first time ever gamers saw drones with a unique skin design. However, it was only limited to the event as players never had the opportunity to opt for a drone skin. With that being said, Operation Solar Raid will provide the option to do so. A new menu option will be available to access this customization.

Operator movements have always been a crucial element in the tactical environment of Siege. Prior to the Solar Raid update, each Operator had a different ADS (Aim-down sight) speed based on their armor and speed rating in-game.

However, with the upcoming expansion of Rainbow Six Siege, every single Operator will move at the same speed while aiming down sights regardless of their armor and speed
