Just over a week ago, Ubisoft released an image via Twitter, teasing the next DLC planned for "Rainbow Six Siege." Now, the official site has been updated, and it is revealed that the DLC is titled "Operation Red Crow." A preview of the new map and two new operatives will also be showcased on Nov. 12 and 13.
According to the official site, the "Rainbow Six Siege" Twitch channel will showcase these new additions live, allowing players watching the stream to see for themselves how the operatives work and what the new map is like. The Twitch presentation is going to take place during the PC and Xbox One Pro League Finals tournament.
However, the DLC is going to introduce a few fixes and improvements as well. Some of these are being added to improve the player's immersion in the game, while others are refinements that will help make the game feel more responsive and accurate.
"We're going to be introducing caliber-based destruction for all weapons. Up until the launch of Season 4, every bullet has created the same size hole. The impact zone and fragility sphere are now weapon-specific, which means stronger calibers will create bigger bullet holes and generate larger impulses," reads the announcement.
Caliber-based environmental destruction is not the only gameplay mechanic addition, as the site also states that hit registration is going to be recalculated and adjusted. By making hit registration more accurate, gamers can be assured that each hit and miss will be entirely on them and not caused by errors in the coding.
No official release date has been announced for the "Operation Red Crow" DLC expansion yet, although it is widely speculated that it will launch in late December. It is unlikely that the DLC is going to be pushed to 2017 as there is already a playable demo that will be showcased during the Twitch presentation.
