Coming hot off Year 9, Rainbow Six Siege is now gearing up for what is expected to be an exciting Year 10. The latest year of the tactical shooter kicks off with Operation Prep Phase, which introduces a brand-new attacking operator, Rauora.

Coming in at 2 Armor, 2 Speed, and 2 Health, Rauora is a more execute-focused operator looking to tip the balance in favor of the attackers. Formerly part of the New Zealand Military, Rauora now brings her skills to Team Rainbow. The operator features a map-altering ability, reinforced by her stellar loadout. Rauora is the big game-changer the attacking side has needed for the better part of the last two years, and we cannot wait to get our hands on her.

If you somehow missed the character reveal and are unsure about this exciting new operator’s abilities, read along to learn more. In this article, we shall go over Rainbow Six Siege’s newest operator, Rauora, and explore her abilities and weapons in detail.

What Does Rauora Bring to Rainbow Six Siege?

Rauora’s Abilities

Rauroa is a 2 Armor-2 Speed operator that packs 120 HP. Her special ability is the D.O.M. Panel Launcher. This launcher, much like its name suggests, launches panels that block off doorways. Think of them like Caslte’s barricades, but if they were launched instead. This means that Rauora can block off doorways and block lines of sight, making her the perfect operator for execution. Whenever it is time to get the defuser down, you can use the panel to close doors and stop defenders from pushing.

The panels aren’t bulletproof, however, and can be destroyed using impact grenades and nitro cells. Furthermore, the panels have a sensor on top, which you can shoot to open the panel like a shutter door. Whenever you’re close to the door, the sensor switch opens up and can be shot from both sides of the panel. So keep in mind that you’re never truly safe, even when taking cover behind the panel.

Rauora’s Weapon Loadout

Rauora carries the following weapons: 

  • Primary: 417 Marksman Rifle DMR, M249 LMG
  • Secondary: Reaper MK2, GSH-18
  • Gadgets: Smoke Grenade, Breach Charge
  • Unique Ability: D.O.M. Panel Launcher

The new operator brings a fairly respectable loadout, with her weapons complementing her ability. The LMG allows her to suppress fire during execution, blocking off defender pushes and also covering the plant sound. The DMR allows her to take a more passive approach by holding tight angles and picking defenders off.

The GSH-18 pistol is serviceable, but the real star of the show is the Reaper MK2 machine pistol. The MK2 is the first-ever machine pistol in the game and looks to be an absolute menace at close range.
