The Six Invitational's final day is when Ubisoft unveils major Rainbow Six Siege updates. A hallmark tradition is introducing the new operator—this year, Rauora, an attacker hailing from New Zealand.
Her signature gadget is the DOM launcher, a bulletproof shield deployable exclusively in doorways (vulnerable only to explosives). The shield features a trigger mechanism: attackers activate it in 1 second, while defenders face a 3-second delay. This timing difference could prove decisive during post-plant scenarios.

Rauora debuts the Reaper MK2—Siege's first fully automatic pistol, equipped with a red dot sight and extended magazine. Players can also choose her M249 LMG or 417 marksman rifle as primary alternatives.
The operator arrives on test servers next week, with the live version rollout following later.
