Operation Crimson Heist is officially live inRainbow Six Siege, introducing a new operator named Santiago “Flores” Lucero and hisspecial equipment known as the RCE-Ratero Charge. Taking a normal drone, Flores has added his own explosives to it, giving the player ten seconds after activating it to find the spot where it then latches on until detonation. While fans continue to find ways to attempt to counter this new explosives expert,Rainbow Six Siegecontinues to be a major bright spot for Ubisoft.
After the release of Operation Crimson Heist and all of the new content, Active player numbers have continued to rise and show growth. Over five years after the game first launched,Rainbow Six Siegecontinues to break concurrent player records, reaching over 200,000 players at one time on Steam this past weekend. While some of that may be due to the free to play weekend, it’s possible that Ubisoft’s insistence on continuing to offer new content bundles and cross overs with other franchises.
