Ubisoft's Six Invitational concluded with the unveiling of Rainbow Six Siege's newest addition: Rauora, an attack operator hailing from New Zealand. A key element of her kit is the DOM launcher, a deployable bulletproof shield specifically designed for doorways. While indestructible by gunfire, explosives can breach it. The shield's activation speed varies depending on the shooter: one second for attackers, three seconds for defenders – a potentially game-changing difference, especially during defuser situations.

Rauora also brings a new weapon to the game: the Reaper MK2, a fully automatic pistol featuring a red dot sight and high-capacity magazine. Players can also equip her with either the M249 LMG or the 417 marksman rifle.
Rauora will be playable on the test servers within the coming week, with a full release on the live servers to follow shortly after.
