More details about the new "STEEL WAVE" operation in the tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege!

Ubisoft has released details of the new STEEL WAVE operation in the tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege, which will be available for YEAR 5 Season 2. This operation can be played today, May 19, 2020, on the Windows PC version of the test server.

Rainbow Six Siege, a tactical shooter released in 2015 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, focuses on multiplayer, with 10 players acting as "operators" with special equipment and fighting on the offensive and defensive sides. The game features a severe system in which players must use special abilities to regain their health, and teamwork is extremely important in small-group battles.

■Ace and Melusi are now available!
The new mission "STEEL WAVE" introduces Ace, an offensive operator from Norway, and Melusi, a defensive operator from South Africa.

Ace, a member of the Norwegian Homeland Defense Corps, has earned a reputation for heroism. After taking special command of the defense forces, he participated in operations in Somalia with the UN forces, where he saved the life of "Kali". Later, he received a request to join Night Haven.
Ace is equipped with the S.E.L.M.A., a gadget that can be thrown against a vertical wall and stick to it, and is capable of destroying three tiers of panels attached to the wall and defensive gadgets.

Contracted by the South African Defense Force, Melusi uses his skill set to train field rangers. She left the military after being injured in a raid, and she had local women train her in a variety of tracking, interception, and surveillance skills to help her in her anti-poaching efforts.
Melusi is equipped with an installed gadget, the "banshee," which senses when an attacker operator enters its area of effect or field of view and slows the intruder's movement.
