Rainbow Six Siege's Grim Sky Update Is Live; Here Are The Full Patch Notes
<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-siege/">Rainbow Six Siege</a> Year 3, Season 3--called <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/videos/rainbow-six-siege-operation-grim-sky-full-reveal-p/2300-6445621/">Operation Grim Sky</a>--is live and adds a bunch of new updates into the first-person shooter game. The most notable addition is two new operators, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rainbow-six-siege-new-grim-sky-operators-detailed/1100-6461243/">codenamed Clash and Maverick</a>, but Operation Grim Sky implements several multiplayer improvements as well.</p><p>Both Defenders and Attackers get a new operator in Operation Grim Sky, and each <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/videos/how-rainbow-six-sieges-new-operators-shake-up-the-/2300-6445620/">shakes up Siege's meta</a> in different ways. Clash is the first Defender to come <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rainbow-six-sieges-next-operator-clash-looks-like-/1100-6461124/">equipped with a shield</a>, which fully extends in front of her and fires a taser. She's perfect for crowd control and holding off a team of Attackers while her teammates regroup and come up with a new strategy. Maverick uses a custom blowtorch to <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/videos/rainbow-six-siege-is-total-chaos-when-maverick-tor/2300-6445612/">breach through any surface</a>. He can't easily create a man-sized entry point, but Maverick can cut a hole large enough for his teammates to shoot through. Given that his torch is nearly silent, this allows Attackers to quietly get eyes on the opposing team through a reinforced wall.</p><p>New cosmetic changes have also being implemented into Rainbow Six Siege. Four new UK-themed weapon skins can only be unlocked during this season. Once unlocked, these skins carry over into later seasons. Canadian operator Frost also now has a new Elite set, which dresses her in her Huntress uniform, unlocks a new victory animation, and provides new skins for her Sterling MK2 LHT, Super 90, 9mm C1, and MK1 9mm.</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="large" data-img-src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1587/15875866/3433889-screen+shot+2018-09-04+at+11.05.02+am.png" data-ref-id="1300-3433889" data-ratio="0.45557029177719" data-width="1508" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 1508px"><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1587/15875866/3433889-screen+shot+2018-09-04+at+11.05.02+am.png"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_super/1587/15875866/3433889-screen+shot+2018-09-04+at+11.05.02+am.png" srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1587/15875866/3433889-screen+shot+2018-09-04+at+11.05.02+am.png 1508w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal....02+am.png 1280w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal....02+am.png 480w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" data-width="1280"></a></figure><p>Operation Grim Sky adds a map rework for <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/videos/watch-rainbow-six-sieges-new-operators-on-hereford/2300-6445618/">Hereford Base</a>. The base is now much larger and includes more avenues for Attackers to get to the Defenders--ranging from new staircases to destructible hatches in the floor. Although certain aspects of Hereford Base remain the same, most of the floor plan has been completely reworked. Consulate is getting a few changes too. Attackers will now have an easier time getting into the building, as the police line has been extended to provide more cover on approach and a wall near the gas station spawn point--that Defenders often used to spawn kill their opponents--has been removed. A fourth site for the bomb placement in the Bomb game mode has also been added, so both Attackers and Defenders will need to come up with new strategies on the map.</p><p>The full list of <a href="https://rainbow6.ubisoft.com/siege/en-gb/game-info/seasons/grimsky/index.aspx">general tweaks and improvements</a> implemented via Operation Grim Sky can be found on Rainbow Six Siege's website.
