Namely you may use the new operator Flores and the new weapon Gonne-6. There are also balance adjustments for the heroes – including Nokk, who gets some buffs, and Blackbeard, who gets hit by the nerf hammer.

Flores as a new operator

The new operator in Rainbow Six: Siege is called Flores, comes from Argentina and belongs to the attackers. He is medium fast and strong, so he has two points of speed and two points of armor. Below we list his equipment, which you can now try out on the test server:

• an AR33 assault rifle or an SR-25 precision rifle
• one GSH-18 pistol
• Stun grenade or claymore mine
• RCE Ratero: His gadget is a remote-controlled drone with an explosive device and remote detonator that can destroy other gadgets and non-reinforced walls, or even take out enemy operators.

New weapon: Gonne-6

The new secondary weapon Gonne-6 replaces the sidearm of certain attacker operators. The single-shot special weapon allows you to destroy otherwise bulletproof gadgets such as Evil Eye or Castle walls, while the damage against players is low.

The Gonne-6 is supposed to give even pistol muffs a practical gadget to go along with it.

Nokk may sneak undisturbed

The patch notes also show what will change for Nokk players in the future:

• While HEL is active, Nokk will not trigger any movement-triggering gadget. This affects Ela’s Grzmot Mine, Melushi’s Banshee, Kapkan’s Explosive Mine, as well as proximity alarms and metal detectors.
• Nokk’s glitch effect cancels proximity immunity, resulting in the activation of any gadget within range.
• The color of the HEL device on Nokk’s hand changes when a proximity device is bypassed.

Blackbeard is weakened

Blackbeard also gets a new balance, but here Ubisoft applies a nerf.

• Rifle shield hit points reduced to 20 (from 50 before).
• Mk17 damage reduced to 40 (from 49 previously).

You can read about the other changes on the official website. Among them you can also find the big rework of the map “Border”.

Please keep in mind that all adjustments are only for the test server so far. So it is possible that Ubisoft will make further changes before Crimson Heist goes live.
