What Do We Know About Rainbow Six Siege Y9S4 Operation Collision Point?

The biggest change in Y9S4 Operation Collision Point is the rework of Blackbeard. Previously, this operator was able to attach a transparent shield that was mounted onto his guns. Attaching this shield made Blackbeard very slow, and he had two of these to use. With the new rework, Blackbeard is getting a new HULL Adaptable Shield. For the first time in Siege, you will be able to equip a rifle along with a shield.

The HULL Shield is versatile and can change its shape (by protracting and retracting) depending on the situation. Blackbeard will also be able to breach soft walls and destroy surfaces with this new addition. In short, the entire playstyle of this attacker operator is set to change in Rainbow Six Siege Y9S4.

Other than this major rework, several other changes are also arriving for other agents. Finally, console-to-PC crossplay will also be introduced in Y9S4 Operation Collision Point, allowing PC players to queue with their console friends and vice versa. The Siege Cup Beta will also be launched, along with a fresh reset of your Reputation System.
