The final day of the Six Invitational is always a thrilling event for Rainbow Six Siege fans, as Ubisoft unveils major announcements, including the introduction of a new operator. This year, the spotlight was on Rauora, the latest addition to the attack team, hailing from New Zealand.

Rauora's standout gadget is the DOM launcher, a bulletproof shield designed specifically for deployment in doorways. While it can withstand regular gunfire, it is susceptible to explosives. The shield features a unique trigger mechanism that can be activated by any player. The time it takes for the shield to retract varies based on the team of the shooter: attackers can open it in just one second, whereas defenders face a three-second delay. This feature can prove pivotal, especially in tense scenarios where the defuser has been planted.

In addition to her innovative gadget, Rauora introduces the Reaper MK2 to the arsenal of Rainbow Six Siege. This fully automatic pistol comes equipped with a red dot sight and an enlarged magazine, promising to be a game-changer in close-quarters combat. For her primary weapons, players can choose between the M249 LMG or the 417 marksman rifle, offering flexibility in different tactical situations.

Gamers eager to try out Rauora can access her on the test servers starting next week. However, her integration into the live version of the game will take a bit longer, ensuring that all aspects of her gameplay are finely tuned for the competitive environment.
