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 feature is her DOM launcher, a deployable bulletproof shield designed for doorways. While indestructible by bullets, explosives can disable it. The shield's activation speed varies depending on who triggers it: one second for attackers, three for defenders – a potentially game-changing difference, especially during defuser plants.

Rauora also brings the Reaper MK2, a new fully automatic pistol with a red dot sight and high-capacity magazine, to the game. 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 shortly after.
