What’s new in Rainbow Six Siege Y9S3?

Skopós is the highlight of Rainbow Six Siege Year 9 Season 3. She’s the new Defender in the game who can control two shells named as Talos and Colossus, in a single round. Technically, you’ll be playing as two Operators where she will control her pair of V10 Pantheon Shells, with only one being operable at a time.

She also gets a new exclusive Assault Rifle, PCX-33. Several Operators such as Nøkk will be significantly buffed while Solis and Dokkaebi will be nerfed.

Siege Cup Beta is another new thing for the Rainbow Six Siege PC community. It will work similarly to how Premier mode works in Valorant, where teams of five compete against the best of the best from their regions. The beta will be limited to players from the EU and NA regions only.

Apart from that, we will also get the Versus AI 2.0 playlist — allowing you to finally defend against AI Attackers such as Ash, Nomad, Sledge, Thatcher, and Thermite.
