Rainbow Six Siege Leak Reveals The Identity And Abilities Of Three Upcoming Operators

Following a series of “health” patches, Ubisoft recently announced the next full Rainbow Six Siege expansion, entitled Operation Blood Orchid. Ubisoft revealed the update will include three new Operators and a new Theme Park map, but they held back on any more specific details. Well, thanks to a new leak, we now know the identities and abilities of the three new Operators.

This leak originated on 4Chan, but, thankfully for those who try to avoid that den of villainy, Redditor Tpwpjun20 collected up all the info in a handy package. While we’re still technically in rumor territory here, 4Chan has had a pretty good track record when it comes to Rainbow Six Siege leaks, and the images and information definitely look to be legitimate.

Scroll down for first look at the three new Operators, and info on their main abilities…

​

Lesion

First up, we have Lesion, who’s from Honk Kong and a defensive type. Sounds like this guy is all about limiting the mobility of other players. His ability is…

GU

Cloaked toxic mines which inject a compound with injures opponents and limits their speed.

​

Ying

Ying is also from Hong Kong (this whole update is HK-themed) and is an attacker. Ying is about disorienting opponents with flash charges, which I’m sure will drive some folks crazy.

Candela

Cluster of flash charges that can either be anchored on various surfaces or rolled out as a grenade.

​

Ela

And finally, we have Ela, the only new Operator not from Hong Kong (she’s Polish), and another defensive type. It sounds like her ability will be particularly frustrating to deal with…

Grzmot Mine

Concussion proximity mines that can be anchored on surfaces, impairing hearing and causing a dizzying effect.

Ubisoft promises to officially reveal more Operation Blood Orchid info at the Rainbow Six Siege Pro League finals on August 26, although this leak may bump things up a bit. Operation Blood Orchid launches on August 29 for season pass holders, and on September 5 for everybody else.

Rainbow Six Siege is available on PC, Xbox One & PS4. You can check out WWG’s coverage of the game, right here.
