Freshen yer drink, Guv’nor?

This weekend saw the Paris Major take place in France for competitive shooterRainbow Six Siege.As part of the long weekend of peeking round corners, controlling cute cameras, and falling through walls like The Shockmaster, Publisher Ubisoft also revealed full details on Siege’s next seasonal content;Operation Grim Sky.

Teased earlier in the week, we finally got to see footage of Siege’s two new Operators in action. Attacker Maverick, a speedy but glass-jawed attacker who can utilise a blow-torch to create spy-holes (or “Murder-holes” to use the game’s vernacular) to peek in on the opposition. Also arriving is British defender Clash who, armed with an electrifying taser shield, will be a defiant obstacle between the opposing team and victory.

British training ground Hereford Base has been redesigned, with new spawn points, larger floor areas and a new infrastructure, so perhaps now every battle won’t take place and end on that staircase. You can check out a video of the new and improved Hereford Base below.

Finally, my gal Frost has been given a new Elite skin, “Huntress”, which sees her prepped for the elements of the Canadian wilds. Looking slick, sister.
