The final day of the Six Invitational is always a thrilling event for fans of Rainbow Six Siege, as Ubisoft traditionally unveils exciting new content for the game. This year was no exception, with the introduction of Rauora, the latest attack operator hailing from New Zealand. Her unique gadget, the DOM launcher, is set to redefine strategies on the battlefield.
Rauora's DOM launcher is a bulletproof shield designed specifically for doorways, although it can be taken out with explosives. This innovative shield comes equipped with a trigger mechanism that can be activated by any player. However, the time it takes for the shield to retract varies: attackers can open it in just one second, whereas defenders must wait a full three seconds. This feature could prove to be a game-changer, especially in high-stakes scenarios where the defuser has been planted.

In addition to her tactical gadget, Rauora introduces the Reaper MK2 to the Rainbow Six Siege arsenal. This fully automatic pistol is equipped with a red dot sight and an enlarged magazine, offering players a new way to engage in close-quarters combat. For her primary weapons, Rauora has the option to choose between the powerful M249 LMG or the precision-focused 417 marksman rifle.
Gamers eager to try out Rauora's capabilities will have the opportunity to do so on the test servers starting next week. However, those playing on the live version of the game will need to wait a bit longer to experience her in action.
