RAINBOW SIX SIEGE – OPERATION EMBER RISE OPERATOR AND MAP GUIDE

 Operation Ember Rise is grappling its way closer everyday with today Ubisoft announcing two new Operators to the Rainbow Six Siege roster. These operators have been rumored for a while now and have showed up on a few leaked pages, turns out again the rumors were right.

The first is a Defender named Goyo, Goyo comes from Mexico’s FES unit and is a savvy tactician who can rapidly deploy his Volcán Shields to stymie incoming Attackers. The Volcán Shield shares all the attributes of a deployable shield, including a redesigned look and the new snap-to-doorways feature, but the Volcán Shield does something other shields can’t. Anytime Goyo, his teammates, or even the attacking team set off the incendiary core attached to the back of a Volcán Shield, there’s a small explosion that sets the surrounding area on fire. The lingering flames will do major damage to anyone, Attacker or Defender, who wanders through them.

The second is an Attacker named Amaru, who can use her Garra Hook to quickly zip up to rooftops, exterior windows, open hatches, and skylights. The gadgets were showed off just the other day via a small trailer which shows the shield exploding and the grapple hook failing… most of the time.

The Kanal map will receive a major facelift in Operation Ember Rise. The map is still split between two buildings, but an additional bridge has been added to increase building-to-building movement options. (Of course, Amaru can use her Garra Hook to travel between the two buildings without the bridges). There are now fewer windows around objective sites and the rooftops have been reconfigured to make runouts more risky. Additional staircases and color-coding throughout both buildings have been added for more rotation options and easier callouts.

The reworked Kanal map will be free for all players when Operation Ember Rise launches. The two new Operators, Goyo and Amaru, will be immediately available for Year 4 Pass holders, and all other players can unlock them seven days later with Renown or R6 credits.
