Ubisoft has announced that the first season Crimson Heist for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Year 6 is now live in the game for all platforms. The new season arrives with new innovations with the addition of the Argentinian operator Flores, the Border map rework, the new Gonne-6 secondary weapon, and the Match Replay beta with many other smaller updates for the entire game.
The developer has also announced that the game is getting a free week and players will be able to jump in Rainbow Six Siege for free starting Match 18 and running until March 25 to try out the new Season Crimson Heist without actually purchasing the title. Year 6 Season 1 Crimson Heist arrives with a brand-new Battle Pass featuring 100 tiers and 131 rewards and will run until May 25, 2021. Along with a Premium track, the Battle Pass also comes with a free track for all players.
The Premium track can be accessed by purchasing the Battle Pass Premium for 1200 R6 Credits. For the first time in the history of Rainbow Six Siege, all Premium Battle Pass owners will also get the new operator Flores. If you own the Crimson Heat Battle Pass, you can start playing with Flores immediately but if you do not, you can purchase him separately for Renown or R6 Credits starting March 30, 2021. Other updates such as the Border map rework, Match Replay Beta, and the Gonne-6 secondary weapon are free for all players and available right now in the game.
Crimson Heist adds the new attacker Flores which comes equipped with an original gadget called the RCE – Ratero Charge. With this new weapon, Flores can deploy a remote-controlled explosive device at his feet and drive it through the map for a limited time before it detonates with a powerful explosion. Flores uses an AR33 and SR-25 as a primary weapon and a GSH-18 as a secondary weapon. Other additions in the new season include:
- Gonne-6
