New Rainbow Six Siege Year 6 Season 3 Crystal Guard Is Out Now

Ubisoft has just revealed the new Rainbow Six Siege Year 6 Season 3 Crystal Guard. The company also revealed a new Operator, Osa, a military engineer from Croatia, as well as light reworks of the maps Coastline, Bank, and Clubhouse, as well as a slew of additional changes.

Rainbow Six Siege Year 6 Season 3 Crystal Guard

Osa, a brand-new attacker in Crystal Guard, is equipped with Talon-8 Clear Shield, a translucent bulletproof shield she may deploy on the ground, in doorframes, or in window frames. She can navigate with the shield in her hands if necessary, but there are some limitations (weapon stored, no sprint, no prone). Osa is a medium-speed, medium-armour Operator with a primary weapon of the 556 Xl or PDW9 and a secondary weapon of the PMM.

The Bank, Coastline, and Clubhouse maps have also been completely redesigned to improve balancing, environmental destruction, sound propagation, and illumination. Rainbow Six Siege Year 6 Season 3 Crystal Guard makes several balance changes to these maps, including the addition of a 1F Reception bomb site on Coastline to replace the 1F Service Entrance site, as well as new locations and entryways. For example, a new alleyway in Bank and a new walkway in Clubhouse.

The Bank and Coastline maps both have new destroyable walls in terms of environmental destruction: on Bank, the Railing on 2F Skyline, and on Coastline, the external wall in the 2F VIP lounge.

Additional updates coming with Rainbow Six Siege Year 6 Season 3 Crystal Guard include:

• Elite customization: players are now able to equip any headgear with an Elite Uniform if they own both and belong to the same Operator
• Operator balancing (Twitch, IQ, Fuze, Mute)
• Flash Detection System
• Gadget damage adjustments
• Armour rework
• RIM lighting that highlights opponents to avoid unfair camouflage

Ubisoft also revealed that a second Elite skin is coming to Rainbow Six Siege. The new Elite skin will be none other than Lion “Leon S. Kennedy” Elite from Capcom’s Resident Evil franchise and will be available on August 17.

Last but not least, this Fall, Rainbow Six Siege will release a new Collector case. This case features exclusive goods such as a replica of Sledge’s hammer, the Sparkle Tachanka chibi, and Rainbow Six Siege digital content, which is only available through the Ubisoft Official Shops.

The Test Server for Crystal Guard will go live on August 17, with Osa coming on August 18. Players are invited to submit the issues they encounter on the Test Server on the R6 Fix platform here.
