We’ve got our first official look at the brand new Rainbow Six: Siege operator Thorn and we even know a little bit about the role she’ll play in matches. She was leaked a while back but details were thin.
Now we’ve not only got the official word from Ubisoft but they’ve also dropped a trailer showing off a brief clip of her gadget in action.
Here’s everything we know about Thorn so far…
Thorn Revealed as Next Rainbow Six Operator
Thorn will be a Defender added as part of the High Calibre update (Year 6, Season 4). The new update arrives in December but there is no specific date at the time of writing.
Her gadget is Razerbloom Shell which is a sticky proximity grenade that explodes into multiple smaller projectiles. She will also come with a brand new SMG, the MK2. Thorn is the first new operator since Osa was added as part of Crystal Guard back in September.
The following is taken directly from the Ubisoft website where they’ve added some detail around the Thorn reveal;
“She’s a dedicated woman, stubborn, doesn’t take anyone’s rubbish. We have a solid team, but Brianna’s bound to round it out perfectly. You never have to worry about her being on top of her game, and if we’re lucky, she’ll kick a few of us in the backside for motivation.
“I’ll spare you the stories, she can tell you those herself if she wants to. She’s already told Mira, judging from that insane contraption she designed for her. Territorial is one way to put it – walking into its warning zone is like a cactus kindly telling you that you’re about to step on it barefoot. It’s no less terrifying, but at least you get to adjust. It’s sharp, bright, and beautifully crafted.”
