"Rainbow Six Siege" is releasing "Operation: Red Crow," the final expansion for the game. As such, Ubisoft has featured a new trailer for the new downloadable content (DLC), which features a teaser of what the fans can expect once it gets released. Furthermore, judging from what it contains, the rumors of the operator Echo being more defense-focused seems right on the mark after all.

According to MNR Daily, the trailer for the "Operation Red Crow" DLC featured Echo using a flying drone that features a night vision filter. Fans were not above speculating about the drone's other capabilities. A lot of them seem to be in agreement that the drone can also play the role of a motion detector device which will alert the player whenever someone from the opposing team comes within its proximity.

As for his armaments, Echo's weapons will include the SuperNova and the MP5SD4 as his primary weapons and the P229 and PM9 as his secondary weapons.

However, Echo was not the only Operator featured in the new "Rainbow Six Siege" game, as the other one, Hibana, is known as an attacker with strength and versatility that allows her to be compatible with different teams dealing with different situations.

Her primary weapons include the SuperNova and the Type-89 while her secondary weapons include the P229 and PM9. According to the Ecumenical News, the weapons will allow her to stay quick without sacrificing firepower.

Players will be able to try out the content featured in "Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Red Crow" starting Thursday, Nov. 17.

Those who have the Season Pass for the game will have the exclusive privilege to try out the new Operators featured in it. For those who have yet to buy their own pass, they will have to wait for another week before they can get the chance to control the new operators.
