Rainbow Six Siege – Velvet Shell Update Released

February 8, 2017

Ubisoft have continued their ongoing update support for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege by releasing their first update for the second year of content for the game. The latest update, Velvet Shell, contains a brand new map based on the shoreline of Ibiza for all to enjoy, as well as two new operators from the Spanish Counter Terrorist Unit and their four signature weapon skins.

The brand new operators are Mira and Jackal, both of whom bring new unique mechanics to the Rainbow Six Siege fold.  Mira specializes in armoring process for ballistic protection, along with her knowledge of mechanics. Equipped with the Vector 45 ACP and ITA12L as primary weapons, she can find the weaker spot on any machinery and reinforce it. Equipped with the C7E and PDW9 as primary weapons, Jackal triggered an acute sensitivity relating to his environment, enabling him to spot irregularities rapidly.

 

These new operators are available today for season pass holders and from February 14th for non-season pass holders.
