We saw some of what Ubisoft has in mind for Rainbow Six Siege's worst operator, the beloved Lord Tachanka, back when it pulled back the veil on his rework in February. Now, a new leaked video has shown off more of what we can expect from the much more mobile and destructive version of Tachanka, which we may see in the game as early as the upcoming season.
Siege leaker xSkajOfficial has posted several clips and images captured from what appears to be a hacked version of the game. In it, he's able to show off Tachanka's new primary weapon - while it's still a Degtyaryov machine gun, it isn't the turret-mounted RP-46 model he originally carried as a gadget. The version he carries as his primary is the DP-28, which is an incorrect but widely-adopted western label for the real-life Degtyaryov DP-27.
As we've already seen, the DP-28 is portable and fed from a top-mounted drum magazine that holds 70 rounds. xSkajOfficial says the gun does 48 damage and fires at about 550 rounds per minute, with very little damage drop-off over distance.
