Whether you\u2019re going behind enemy lines or creating a massive rotation hole, the new remote-controlled explosive drones coming to Rainbow Six Siege<\/a><\/em><\/strong> are here to make an impact. They belong to Flores, the new attacking Operator arriving with the launch of Crimson Heist. The new season also brings an explosive new secondary weapon called the Gonne-6, a rework of the Border map, and a Battle Pass with a bevy of new rewards. Oh, and you can play Rainbow Six Siege<\/em> for free on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One starting March 18 through March 24. A free week, season launch, and even more explosions? It\u2019s good, folks. It\u2019s real good.<\/p>\n

Flores hails from Argentina and he comes to Team Rainbow packing his RCE-Ratero gadget. The explosive little beauties can clear out a host of Defenders obstacles, including barricades, deployable shields, barbed wire, and any bulletproof Defender gadgets, like Maestro\u2019s Evil Eyes. This makes Flores a powerful asset for any attacking team looking to clear the way for their push onto the objective. He can also do serious damage to anyone caught in the blast radius, though the explosive timer is long enough for nimble players to get clear.<\/p>\n

You see, the RCE-Rateros don\u2019t just drive in and go boom. Flores can drive them similarly to a normal Attacker camera drone (e.g. steer, jump, fit through drone hole), but the Rateros can\u2019t stop or slow down. While moving, the device is vulnerable to just about any enemy damage, including bullets, melee, electricity, and lasers. But when it\u2019s time to detonate \u2014 whether it\u2019s triggered manually by Flores or automatically when the RCE-Ratero\u2019s timer counts down \u2014 the RCE-Ratero armors itself, stops in its tracks, and becomes bulletproof. After a short fuse timer, the whole thing blows up, damaging or destroying anything (or anyone) unlucky enough to be within range.<\/p>\n
