As a competitive and multiplayer marvel, it stands as a genre-defining title.
The gaming giant recently announced the arrival of Operation Deadly Omen, slated for release in March. This update marks the beginning of Year 9 Season 1, promising to inject even more excitement into the game.
What's New in Operation Deadly Omen?
Amidst the ongoing Six Invitational esports tournament in Brazil, Ubisoft took the opportunity to unveil Operation Deadly Omen. This announcement highlighted the introduction of a new Operator named Deimos and outlined several significant updates poised to reshape the game's dynamics.
One of the notable changes is the overhaul of shield mechanics, enhancing protection for players while ensuring balance. Additionally, the introduction of a 'free look' mechanic offers players greater control over their viewpoint without the need to pivot, a feature that is sure to enhance gameplay significantly.
Weapon mechanics are also undergoing a transformation, with adjustments to ADS (Aim Down Sights) mechanics and attachments that will likely alter the current weapon meta. Alongside these major updates, Operation Deadly Omen brings a plethora of other enhancements, including a new Locker, quality-of-life improvements, accessibility features, and improved onboarding for newcomers to Rainbow Six Siege.
