Rauora debuts in Rainbow Six Siege

The final day of Six Invitational traditionally marks Ubisoft's major announcements for Rainbow Six Siege, including revealing the new operator. This year's spotlight falls on Rauora, an innovative Attack operator hailing from New Zealand.

Tactical Gameplay With DOM Launcher

Rauora's signature gadget is the DOM launcher - a deployable, bulletproof shield (vulnerable to explosives) specifically designed for doorway placement. Its unique trigger mechanism works differently based on team affiliation: Attackers can activate it within one second, while Defenders face a three-second delay. This timing difference could prove pivotal during defuser activation scenarios.

Weapon Loadout Innovation

Rauora debuts exciting new weaponry to Siege's arsenal:

• The fully automatic Reaper MK2 pistol featuring red dot sight and extended magazine
• Primary weapon options include the M249 LMG or 417 marksman rifle

Players can expect Rauora to hit the Test Servers next week, with the live server deployment following later in the season.
