operation burnt horizon is taking
Rainbow six siege to Australia bringing
two new operators one new map and just
really a lot of nasty looking spikes now
these may look like something a defender
would throw down but they're actually
deployed by an attacker and this
standard-issue drone being used to scout
enemy positions it's being controlled by
a defender seems like there's no better
place to mix things up than down under
an attacker named gridlock is who you
have to thank for all those pointy new
obstacles in your way she calls these
mechanical Marvel's tracks stingers
throw one on the ground and it
immediately starts deploying clusters of
defender damaging spikes it throws out a
lot of them allowing you to really jam
up a staircase or a hallway or cover a
large area of a room toss a track
stinger through a hatch or between
floorboards to exert some pressure from
above or lob one into an area where you
know a defender is hiding to put them in
a prickly position and don't worry about
Yeager's ATS it can't affect gridlocks
gadget at all
attackers can traverse the spikes no
problem but defenders who dare to tread
on them will have three things happen
that you really don't want to happen to
you in siege they will take damage they
will be slowed down and they will make
noise it's enough to make you think
twice about that flanking route and can
you imagine trying to retake a planted
defuser surrounded by these things
that's a no from me but hey defenders
you don't have to let scary pieces of
metal tell you how to run your life
destroy them with bullets explosives or
melee attack even better destroy the
tracks stinger device during the
deployment process in order to stop some
or all of the clusters from spawning
keep in mind though that all of these
actions are noisy and you risk alerting
the attacking team to your whereabouts
and since the attacking team now
includes gridlock with her f9 the
assault rifle or her m249 LMG you might
want to think twice about attracting
attention
on the other side of the siege is mozzie
a defender who figures why bring his own
drones to the fight when he can just
steal yours
armed with his trusty pest launcher
mozzie can hack the attacking team's
drones and make them his own yup even
twitch drones
he can capture them in two ways number
one shooting a pest directly onto a
drone this is kind of tricky unless you
catch an idle drone out in the open or
have a little help from music but if you
miss your shot you can always pick up
your pests and try again
number two shooting a pest onto a
surface and creating an ambush the pests
will pounce on any drone that cruises
into its sights and hacking
each pest can hack one drone and add it
to mozzies fleet once a drone is hacked
mozzie gains control of it driving
jumping shocking tagging parking it in
sneaky spots just live in the drone life
he can't pick them up and if he drives a
drone outside for more than a few
seconds he'll lose the hack and the
drone will be lost even to its original
owner but each drone mozzie keeps in
play is a valuable new Intel source that
joins the defender camera feed for all
to see
now defenders will see a special outline
that shows them which drone not to shoot
but attackers will have to look for the
tell-tale blue light to recognize
turncoat drones or bring IQ along to
sniff out any traitor
attackers can regain access to the
camera feed of a hack to drone with a
doe cabbie hack but the drone will still
remain under defender control
from droning more carefully to spot the
flashing warning sign of a nearby pest
ambush - looking twice at every drone
they see the attackers will have to burn
more time and attention on drones when
mozzie is in the match and while their
attentions are elsewhere mozzie is more
than happy to take advantage with his
p10 roni automatic pistol or his command
dine assault rifle with that reload
animation Aziz would describe as Ripper
the
new map in play is out back a road house
in the middle of the sunburnt country
where travellers rest and refuel before
venturing out into the bush it's
comprised of three main buildings join
together in an l-shape each one has
color-coded accents to help you get
oriented as you navigate from the garage
blue through the restaurant green and
into the motel yellow there's a stuffed
shark a rodeo bull and a host of other
landmarks to help with call-outs as well
as plenty of breakable walls and floors
for our two new operators to destroy
using their super shorty shotgun
sidearms
I'm learning gridlock the queen of
spikes and mozzie mister steal yo drone
are hitting the road with team rainbow
in operation burnt horizon though they
still call Australia home
