Rainbow Six Siege’s Operation Skull Rain expansion is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 2. As with previous Rainbow Six Siege expansions, Operation Skull Rain includes two new Operators: Caveira and Capitão, both from Brazil’s Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais (BOPE). The new Operators will be instantly available to Season Pass holders, who will have exclusive access to them for the first seven days. Caveira is the defensive Operator of the two. As such, she possesses the “Silent Step” skill that enables her to sneak up on enemies to immobilize and then interrogate them to reveal their teammates’ location. Her arsenal includes an M12 and SPAS-15 for primary weapons, a PRB92 as a secondary, and Nitro Cell C4 and Barbed Wire for gadgets. As the attacker, Capitão carries a tactical crossbow that can fire asphyxiating bolts that burn oxygen within a certain radius, as well as micro smoke grenades that can mask positions and team movements. Capitão also has an M-249 and PARA-308 for primary weapon options, a PRB92 for secondary, and frag and stun grenades rounding out his available arsenal. As rumored before, the new map will take place in Favela, Brazil. It is said to be the most destructive map ever in Rainbow Six: Siege. The map and 2 new operators will be out this coming Tuesday (Aug 2nd) for Season Pass holders and will be available for the rest of the world one week later. My take on it?  What can I say? This is my Game of the Year almost. That is how much I love Rainbow Six: Siege. Their timing couldn’t be perfect, as they release new operators exactly when the game starts to tire out. I will be back on R6 daily after this update and then in November, we get the Japanese Operators, good lord, I can’t even imagine what they will be able to do. Too excited!
