With that in mind, the game developers are rolling out a new update for its Year Six - Season One Crimson Heist campaign along with a new operator and a secondary gun that fires a single explosive round.
New Operator For 'Rainbow Six Siege'
"Rainbow Six Siege" upcoming update for its Crimson Heist campaign will feature a new operator by the name of Flores. The Washington Post reports that the new operator will be equipped with a small gadget called the RCE-Ratero that functions as a small, detonating radio drone.

IGN had an exclusive interview with "Rainbow Six Siege" art director Alexander Karpazis and gave a detailed insight on how the new operator can be exploited on the battlefield. Karpazis stated that Flores is a crafty character based on heist movies such as "Ocean's Eleven" and "Leon, the Professional."
Karpazis continued that Flores' RCE-Ratero can destroy gadgets plated by the defenders, can open rotation wholes, and threaten defenders in "Rainbow Six Siege." Also, the art director mentions weaknesses for the new operator, saying that operators who have skills to shut down drones such as Mute and anything to disable the drone with the exception of Mozzie, who cannot control Flores' drone.
