Operation Dust Line added the new map Border to Rainbow Six: Siege. Blackbeard can place a bulletproof rifle shield onto his primary weapons, protecting him from headshots by preventing a degree of damage before being destroyed. She was the first operator with the ability to place any kind of camera–this would go on to become a common theme in Siege.īlackbeard was the attacking operator bought in with Dust Line.
She utilizes multiple portable cameras called Black Eye’s which can be placed around the map to provide intel to the defending team. Valkyrie was the defending operator added in Dust Line. Please comment below if you have any questions.Operation Dust Line saw the addition of 2 Navy SEALs operators to Rainbow Six: Siege attacking operator Blackbeard and defending operator Valkyrie. While there are plenty ways to destroy devices without him, he is a great asset to have on your squad. In other places such as master bed room or any OBJ upstairs all he has to do is drop a E.M.P on the roof to take out most devices below. He also has the option of carrying along breaching charges or stun grenades.įor House he is almost a must have since one section of house is easily fortified with devices called (anti Thermite) (an electronic devise that hinders or stops Thermite from destroying a wall.) With his ability to destroy the devices hindering Thermite he becomes great help in places such as garage on this map. He comes with the AR33, L85A2, M590A1, and the P226 Mk 25. With his E.M.P grenades, he clears out all electronic gadgets. Before recruitment into the rainbow six program he served time in the British Army Parachute Regiment, SAS Bravo Two Zero, and as the SAS Warrant Officer Class 1. Mike Baker A.K.A Thatcher is a fifty five year old male from Bideford, England. The community would much rather see the breaching charge put back into play with him.
Prior this update he had breaching charges which helped a great deal when it came to getting into places. He's not fast enough to out run the smoke screen. the claymore isn't bad however the smoke grenades are pointless for him. However with the new update he is given a claymore and smoke grenades. His job is to get the team into a room or building. While the addition itself is not overall unbearable the one character that is causing an uproar is Thermite. The explosion is muffled in the the sound of gun fire. However all one has to do to get around a claymore is wait for the enemy team to engage your team and while bullets and gun are going off destroy the claymore. However on offense it has saved our lives more than once with the addition of claymores. Now on defense we have to change our approach to the game. It makes it super hard to roam which has been our M.O for the longest time. Personally myself and other gamers that I work with have a love and hate relationship with the update. It gives the receiver a extra boost of health to withstand a little bit more damage than normally. He also can over heal which is the same as a power up in other games. This is a game changer since now a defensive players can now be healed after taking heavy fire from the enemy. His steam pistol can now heal himself and other players around him. At close range it can break form one to two hits from a shotgun.
His shield finally breaks after roughly forty hits with an automatic weapon, and breaks with only three to five hits from a shotgun from medium range. It can now take out jammers and shock wires before the round even starts.īlack beard has officially been turned of form being god like. Giving the user a chance to cripple the defense before the game is begun. One drown will now be deployed at the beginning of the match. Twitch got a buff as well she now has two shock drones now, each with extended shock range. It forces players to play the objective and use longer range weapons rather than short ranged shotguns. The whole point of the game was to be a breach and clear and this update really help put that back into the game. If it is not destroyed the defender will set of the claymore which will either kill the defender or injure them. When they claymore is destroyed it explodes with a very loud sound that alerts the attacker that you are in the area. With the introduction of claymore roaming will be cut down significantly. With the release of the 4.2 update rainbow six siege has changed significantly.
