The fourth and final season of Rainbow Six Siege Year 6, High Calibre has arrived, and it brings a new operator Thorn to the game along with other updates. High Calibre is now live for all Rainbow Six Siege players on all platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Stadia, and Ubisoft+. The new season also brings with it a reworked map Outback, new default color of teams, and a Battle Pass featuring a new exotic weapon skin, amongst other upgrades.
Thorn is the brand-new defender in Rainbow Six Siege, and he comes equipped with Razorbloom Shell which is a proximity device that once triggered initiates a timed blast. When used if an enemy does not get out of its area-of-effect on time, they will receive damage at the end of the fuse timer. Thorn is a medium speed; medium armor operator and her loadout consist of the new custom-made UZK50Gi or the M870 as primary weapons and the 1911 TACOPS or the C75-AUTO as secondary weapons.
Along with a new Operator, High Calibre also brings with it the Outback map which is rebuilt to improve balancing and player comfort. Both the main building of the map and its exterior have been tweaked to allow Attackers to create and execute more effective strategies. In addition to this, the map also brings softer exterior walls along with some refurbished areas all around the map. The junk has also been cleaned from the map to provide a better line of sight and balance to both sides.
Year 6 Season 4 comes with a brand-new Battle Pass including 100 new tiers and 131 rewards which will be available until February 21, 2022. It features both a free and a premium track which will set you back 1200 R6 Credits. All Premium owners will get access to Thorn immediately however other players will need to dish out Renown or R6 Credits to purchase her from December 14, 2021.
Other new items include new default team colors, new HUD, and operator updates which are available right now for all players. Rainbow Six Siege is also hosting a free weekend to give everyone a taste of the new battle pass. Players can download and play Rainbow Six Siege for free until December 6, 2021, on all platforms and try out the new content. The game is also discounted up to 70% depending on the platform and version of the game. Ubisoft also released Rainbow Six Siege-inspired Postmatch Lo-Fi Music Album.
