The final day of the Six Invitational is always a thrilling event for Rainbow Six Siege fans, as Ubisoft traditionally unveils major updates, including the introduction of new operators. This year, the excitement centered around Rauora, the latest addition to the attacking lineup hailing from New Zealand.
Rauora's standout feature is the DOM launcher, a bulletproof shield deployable exclusively in doorways. While it can withstand bullets, it's vulnerable to explosives. The shield's innovative trigger mechanism allows it to be activated by anyone, but with a strategic twist: attackers can trigger it to open in just one second, whereas defenders face a three-second delay. This difference can be pivotal, especially in tense situations where the defuser has been planted.

Alongside her unique gadget, Rauora brings 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 M249 LMG or the 417 marksman rifle, offering versatile combat options.
Enthusiasts eager to try out Rauora won't have to wait long; she'll be available on the test servers starting next week. However, her integration into the live version of the game will take a bit more time.
