Rainbow Six SiegeYear 8 Season 3 is officially here. Announced earlier this month, Operation Heavy Mettle is ready to hit live servers today across all platforms. As always, this comes with a new update that you must download before beginning your new career in the game.
Ram is the brand-new operator joining the roster with Operation Heavy Mettle. The South Korean agent brings a massive destruction machine to the battlefield that will tear down every soft surface regardless of its a floor or wall. We have already seen some great use cases for Ram’s Bu-Gi, but the real fun begins today.
