The final day of the Six Invitational is always filled with excitement, not just for the intense matches but also for the big announcements from Ubisoft about Rainbow Six Siege. One of the most anticipated reveals is the new operator, and this year, Ubisoft introduced Rauora, the latest addition to the attacking team from New Zealand.
Rauora's standout feature is the DOM launcher, a unique bulletproof shield designed specifically for doorways. While it can withstand regular gunfire, it's vulnerable to explosives. The shield includes a trigger mechanism that can be activated by any player, but the time it takes to open varies: attackers can open it in just one second, while defenders face a three-second delay. This difference could prove pivotal in high-stakes situations, especially when the defuser is planted.

Alongside her innovative shield, Rauora introduces the Reaper MK2 to Rainbow Six Siege, a fully automatic pistol equipped with a red dot sight and an enlarged magazine. For her primary weapons, players can choose between the powerful M249 LMG or the precision-focused 417 marksman rifle.
Gamers eager to try out Rauora can access her on the test servers starting next week. However, those playing on the live version of the game will need to wait a bit longer before they can deploy this new operator into their matches.
