At long last, Rainbow Six Siege Operation Velvet Shell finally arrives tomorrow and Ubisoft has finally released the full trailer for the new DLC. Ubisoft announced that Operation Velvet Shell arrives on PS4 starting at 9 a.m. EST, on Xbox One starting at 10 a.m. EST, and finally on PC starting at 11 a.m. EST. Check out the trailer in the video below:
The trailer shares a little bit more about the unique abilities the operators deliver. Jackal's visor is able to identify the footprints of different enemies based on the different color footprints that are left behind. Mira's Black Mirror ability also boasts fresh dynamics as we learn the armored window can also act like a mail slot that will allow defenders to shoot through.
Additional updates and tweaks also include new Spanish weapon skins: Chupinazo, El Dorado, Leon Furioso and Crossfader. A newly revamped Rainbow Siege menu remembers the last game mode you played for added convenience.
Gameplay-wise, old Rainbow Six ADS views varied based on firearm and sight choice. Essentially, Ubisoft wanted to create a sense of realism based on where the sights would be mounted on the weapon rails. However, Ubisoft changed this in the latest update based on the feedback of Siege players. Now, sights are updated to appear identical on all weapons.
