Tachanka, who is widely regarded as Rainbow Six Siege's worst operator, is finally receiving a much-needed rework. The Tachanka rework will be live on Siege's Test Servers today, though not everyone seems to be happy with the changes made to the Russian operator.
The updated Tachanka is still a low-speed, high-armour operator, except this time around he packs an incredible punch. His formerly useless turret-bound LMG now works as a primary weapon, giving the operator access to a powerful gun capable of ripping through hatches and walls. Tachanka is also equipped with a grenade launcher fitted with bouncing incendiary grenades - a single round from this weapon will stop enemies in their tracks. To top it off, Tachanka now shares Zofia's Withstand ability, allowing him to self-revive when knocked down.
G2 Esports' Niclas 'Pengu' Mouritzen has expressed his concern about the new and improved Tachanka on Twitter: "I think the part where he [Tachanka] just ran around and shot his gadget around like it was candy directly goes to show the fact that he has too many shells." Pengu also doesn't understand the developer's decision to give Tachanka the self-reviving ability, asking if this was put in place as a joke.
