High Calibre Launches Today in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
Today, Ubisoft announced that High Calibre, the fourth and final season of the Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Year 6, is now available on all platforms. This new season brings new updates with the addition of the Irish operator Thorn, the rework of the map Outback, new default colors of the teams, and a new Battle Pass featuring a new exotic weapon skin, amongst other updates.
In High Calibre, players will discover a brand-new defender: Thorn, equipped with the Razorbloom Shell: a throwable proximity device that once triggered initiate a timed blast. If an enemy player doesn’t get out of the area of effect on time, they will receive damage at the end of the fuse timer. Thorn is a medium speed, medium armor Operator, and her loadout consists of the new custom made UZK50Gi or the M870 as primary weapons and the 1911 TACOPS or the C75-AUTO as secondary weapons.
In addition, the Outback map has been rebuilt to improve balancing and player comfort. Both the main building and its exterior have been tweaked to allow Attackers to create and execute more effective strategies. In addition, new exterior soft walls have been added to the building, and some areas have been refurbished and cleaned up to remove junk and provide better lines of sight and balance.
