Year 8 Season 3: Introducing a South Korean Operator, Commendation System, and Crucial Gameplay Updates
Ubisoft has pulled back the curtain on the next explosive chapter of Rainbow Six Siege, unveiling Year 8 Season 3, Operation Heavy Mettle. This season promises to ramp up the intensity, offering gamers a fresh South Korean Operator, an innovative commendation system, and crucial gameplay changes, such as the Quick Match rework. Get ready, because the operation kicks off on August 29th.
Meet the New Operator: Ram and her BU-GI Auto-Breacher
With Operation Heavy Mettle, prepare to welcome the fierce new Attacker Ram, equipped with the innovative BU-GI Auto-Breacher gadget. This automated tank will allow Ram to obliterate walls, floors, and other structures, opening up fresh vantage points and redefining the battlefield. Expect a strategic shake-up as one tank can destroy gadgets and soft surfaces in its way. Ram comes with a one speed, three health stats, and an arsenal featuring an R4C or LMG-E as primary and MK1 or ITA12S as secondary weapons.
Enhancing Player Protection: The Commendation System
The new Commendation System marks a significant advancement in player protection within Rainbow Six Siege. This appreciation system enables players to rate their peers based on their shared in-game experience. The system is designed to be fair and will be closely monitored. High commendations will also lead to rewards. Anti-toxicity measures have been effective, with 50% of warned players altering their behavior.
Gameplay Updates: Quick Match Rework and More
Get ready for several game mode updates this season. The Quick Match rework aims for swifter matches, with reduced round timers and automatic objective locations. A redesign of Unranked (now known as Standard) is on the horizon, along with a brand-new Arcade game mode called Weapons Roulette.
Other notable updates include balancing for Operator Grim, improvements to the in-game shotgun system, and new synergies with Fuze’s Cluster Charges. A rework of Operator Frost is also planned later in the season.
Additional Features: Tutorials and Content Creation Tools
Operation Heavy Mettle also introduces Tutorials, an essential tool to help newcomers ease into their first PVP experience. Match Replay sees an enhancement, allowing players to remove the HUD for capturing perfect in-game moments even in spectator mode.
Rainbow Six Siege continues to evolve, providing a thrilling experience for gamers across platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, the Xbox One family, Xbox Series X | S, Windows PC, Steam, Ubisoft+, and Amazon Luna. Prepare for a game-changer with Operation Heavy Mettle, arriving on August 29th. Get ready, G-LYFE Nation! It’s time to step up your game!
