Ubisoft unveiled Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege details for Year 8 Season 1 with news of Operation Commanding Force and a Brazilian operator.
This season introduces Brava, a new Brazilian operator and gameplay updates including an immersive reload update, the Mousetrap feature to address players using a mouse and keyboard on consoles, and further anti-toxicity measures. It’s the latest update in a series that has more than 80 million registered players to date and a strong esports community.
Commanding Force unleashes Brava, an attacker equipped with the Kludge Drone gadget. This drone disrupts hostile surveillance and provides counter tactics, like repurposing the technology for her squad. An extremely adaptable operator, Brava can gain an advantage in any environment by accessing electronic resources available to her. Brava is a three speed, one health Operator, and her loadout features a PARA-308 or a CAMRS as a primary weapon and a USP40 or a Super Shorty as a secondary weapon.
Players who use mouse and keyboard on consoles will activate a penalty that adds lag to their inputs. The goal of this penalty is to encourage fair gameplay by removing the unfair advantage that mouse and keyboard players have on consoles. While active, continued use of mouse and keyboard gradually increases the lag over several matches, making it harder to aim and shoot.
