Twitch, Blackbeard and Doc have all been heavily modified, with two operator special abilities getting substantial buffs. It's not as simple as numbers, though: attacker Twitch will now be able to wield her shock drone during the prep phase of a round, and Doc can now use his stim pistol to overheal both himself and teammates. This works to a maximum of 120 HP, and decreases by one point every two seconds until it returns to 100.

On the other hand, Blackbeard has been tweaked downwards: noting that players were simply equipping his shield and leaving it up for the duration of a match, Ubisoft has added a second shield and dramatically lowered the HP on both from 800HP to 150HP, making for a less tanky character.

As far as the two new gadgets go, the Claymore mine is interesting: it will replace items for Thatcher, Twitch, Glaz and Thermite, and can be used to cover your back "while progressing forward, flanking, or when in a vulnerable positon like sniping or droning." Meanwhile, the impact grenade does what it says on the tin: it explodes on impact, and will be carried by Caveira, Castle, Smoke and Rook.

And soon, Rainbow Six Siege’s Season Four Operation Red Crow will launch with the Skyscraper map
In Operation Red Crow, two S.A.T. Operators join Team Rainbow to neutralize the threat residing in our new free map, "Skyscraper". Officially classified until 1996, Japan’s Special Assault Team (S.A.T.) is comprised of small highly trained teams spread throughout Japan.


S.A.T. Operator Masaru Enatsu was born in Suginami City, Tokyo, a location known for its several animation studios and technology companies. After completing his bachelor’s degree at Tokyo Metropolitan University, Enatsu joined the National Police Academy. He was then recruited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Special Unit before transferring to the Aichi Unit.


Yumiko Imagawa is a Nagoya native who joined the National Police Academy when she was 18 years old. Shortly after, she was recruited by the Aichi Prefectural Police Department Special Unit. Due to her explosive leadership skills on the field, she gained the nickname Hibana, which means “Spark”.

second season pass is now available since the first season officially ends today. i think you do not need the season pass if you don't want to pay for it. just the base game will be sufficient. that also means you can need to unlock the Year 2 operators via Renown (in-game credit).

Team Rainbow is a GO!

Year 2 Operators and Bonus DLC

8 new Year 2 operators across 4 seasons
8 exclusive headgear customizations
8 exclusive uniform customizations
R6 Carbon charm
600 R6 Credits to purchase in-game content

VIP Perks

7-day early access to each season's new Operators.
10% discount in in-game shop
5% Renown boost to unlock in-game content faster
2 extra daily challenges

To date, Siege has received four major expansions: Operation Black Ice, Operation Skull Rain, Operation Dust Line, and Operation Red Crow.

Ubisoft previously confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege has 10 million registered players, and that Siege increased its daily active users by 40 percent after the launch of the Skull Rain expansion.
