Operation Neon Dawn continues Ubisoft's new seasonal structure for Rainbow Six Siege, offering just one new operator - Aruni - but making up for the lack of a second op with a haul of gadget reworks, quality of life improvements, and balancing tweaks.
Jäger and Echo mains, we've got some bad news for you. Neon Dawn looks to dethrone two of the strongest defenders in the game with substantial reworks to their gadgets. Additionally, Hibana is also getting an overhaul to her X-KAIROS launcher to make her an even more versatile hard breacher. The Year 2 Season 1 map, Skyscraper, has been reconfigured to make runouts and window peaks more risky, while also opening up the interior so there are fewer chokepoints and more routes through the map.
Finally, a slew of much smaller changes, like a harsher runout timer, a 'no-drop' zone to save you from accidental bomb site fumbles, and more logical interactions between explosives and bulletproof gadgets will hopefully alleviate some of the community's frustrations with the game. We've gone hands-on with Neon Dawn to test out all of the changes for ourselves, so keep reading for a thorough breakdown of everything new in Rainbow Six Siege Operation Neon Dawn.
