The final day of the Six Invitational is always a thrilling event for Rainbow Six Siege fans, not just for the intense competition but also for Ubisoft's major announcements. A highlight of this year's event was the unveiling of Rauora, the latest attack operator hailing from New Zealand, bringing a fresh dynamic to the game.
Rauora's standout feature is the DOM launcher, which deploys a bulletproof shield, resistant to gunfire but vulnerable to explosives, specifically designed for doorways. This shield comes equipped with a trigger mechanism that can be activated by any player. However, the time it takes for the shield to retract varies significantly: attackers can open it in just one second, whereas defenders must wait a full three seconds. This feature could prove decisive, especially in high-stakes scenarios involving defuser placement.

In addition to her unique gadget, Rauora introduces the Reaper MK2 to the Rainbow Six Siege arsenal, a fully automatic pistol enhanced with a red dot sight and an enlarged magazine. For her primary weapons, players can choose between the powerful M249 LMG or the precise 417 marksman rifle, offering versatile tactical options.
Gamers eager to try out Rauora can do so on the test servers starting next week. However, for those playing on the live version of the game, they'll need to wait a bit longer to experience this new operator in action.
