operation wind bastion is coming to
rainbow six siege to knock you on your
own
tricky new gadgets from the two new
moroccan operators will introduce new
threats as you battle for supremacy on a
new map set in the beautiful north
african countryside
let's meet nomad two speed two armor and
one brand new way to augment your attack
the air jab launcher
attached to nomad's primary weapons this
baby fires air jabs sticky proximity
triggered air blast grenades that shove
operators back and throw them to the
ground the proximity trigger means you
can deploy it as a trap to cover your
flank
or go on the offensive and use it to
knock defenders out of cover
operators who get air jabbed are unable
to shoot while they recover so it's very
effective for making a dug-in mira take
a seat for a few crucial moments or
knocking a clash down forcing her to
place her shield on her back while she
collects herself
the air jab charge doesn't do any damage
by itself but it will knock down you and
your teammates if you're caught in its
blast radius so placement is key in the
right situation you might leave a
defender calling desperately for doc
or you might knock your victim clear
through a destructible wall
which is always hilarious
the air jab isn't anchored in defender's
worst nightmare unless they've got
jaeger's ads close by to neutralize it
with her power to knock people around
nomad excels at putting defenders where
they don't want to be on their backs out
of cover and exposed to the attacking
team not to mention your ak-74 or
arx-200 assault rifles
and when it comes to guarding a planted
bomb diffuser nomads air jab can mean
the difference between a bitter defeat
and sweet sweet victory
a devious student is only as good as her
wily teacher and luckily for nomad her
teacher was kaid
while nomad deals in knockdowns kaid
makes his mark with electricity and his
artilla electro claws bring a whole new
way to electrify reinforced surfaces
barbed wire and deployable shields
an electric claw can be thrown from a
distance and will grab on tightly
electrifying any reinforced surface in
its area of effect meaning that you can
easily electrify reinforced hatches from
below
with his three electro claws smartly
deployed kaid can electrify all of this
their small size and deployment
versatility makes electric claws
difficult to spot and pick off even
maverick will have a tough time locating
them because their area of effect means
they don't need to be placed directly on
the reinforced surfaces they're
electrifying
but that doesn't mean they're invincible
iq can easily spot them thatcher's emp
grenades can destroy them and twitch's
drone can shoot them and keep in mind
that they take a few seconds to activate
so while a quick throw will help you
counter a hibana breach by the time you
hear a thermite breaching it'll be too
late for electroclaw
intervention as a one-speed three armor
operator kait is a strong anchor for any
defending team and he can do significant
damage with his aug a3 smg
or if you're feeling bold take his tcs
g12 semi-automatic shotgun which fires a
single powerful slug and can support an
acog
both nomad and kaid pack a powerful 44
magnum sidearm that comes equipped with
an acog equivalent scope so you're ready
for a firefight at any range
the action you've been seeing here takes
place on fortress the free new map
coming with operation wind bastion
you may have noticed a few portraits of
kaid hanging up around the place that's
because the moroccan structure is both a
military training facility and kaede's
home
the fortress map was inspired by
moroccan casbah architecture but don't
let all the intricate mosaics and the
colorful stained glass windows distract
you
the map features two interior floors
with two objective sites per mode on
each
with plenty of exterior stairs the
ability to repel to the rooftop from
nearly all sides and towers that provide
entry into the second floor that only
attackers can access
fortress offers plenty of ways for the
attacking team to methodically close in
on objectives from above
defenders can lock down the first floor
hammam bomb site by funneling attackers
into the showers while attackers can
counter by locking down defender
rotations with long lines of sight
between the bomb locations in the hammam
and sitting room
each objective site offers its own
distinct tactics and it'll be up to you
to discover them all
operation win bastion is set to deliver
one hell of a knockout punch to siege's
third year
nice job
