Ace and Melusi are new operatives at Rainbow Six Siege

Earlier today, Ubisoft presented the upcoming season via video call, the second in a row this year, and it is called Steel Wave.

The traditional presentation of the new season of R6 Siege had to be rearranged due to the coronavirus pandemic. So far, it was held at the finals of the Pro League, but the final part of the competition was canceled, so we found out all the details about Steel Wave through video calls on the official Rainbow Six Siege Twitch profile.

The most important thing - R6 Siege will get two new operatives in the form of striker Ace and defense Melusi. Norwegian Ace brings S.E.L.M.A. devices, which can be detonated after he throws them on a surface. SELMA sticks to a surface, whether hard or soft, then stretches in an X shape and explodes. Ace has two primary weapons in its arsenal, the AK-12 and the M1014 Shotgun, while the P9 pistol serves as a secondary weapon.

Melusi is the first operative from South Africa and carries a device with him that will give headaches to attackers. The Banshee electronic device can be mounted on walls, floors and ceilings, and its task is to slow down attack-oriented players. The mentioned device will greatly help defensive players in the fight against attacking tactics of accelerated intrusion into rooms. The South African can choose between a T-5 SMG and a Super 90 and an RG-15 pistol.



In addition to these operatives, some major change is the redesigned House map and the addition of a new device in defense operatives. House is a map that has been in Rainbow Six Siege from the very beginning and it is already known that it will get reworked because it is simply too small. The family living in this house has obviously worked on the birth rate and they had to throw themselves into remodeling. An addition to the player in defense is an alarm that will indicate the position of the attacker, if they come within his radius.

All changes related to the new season arrive on the test server on May 19 and will be there for a minimum of two weeks. At the beginning of the sixth month, Steel Wave is expected to arrive in the full version of the game, and a few days before that, the traditional free weekend of playing Rainbow Six Siege.
