She’s not the only addition with Rainbow Six Siege Crystal Guard though. Osa is also looking like quite the utility boost to the attacker side with that shield. It just kind of is, which is refreshingly normal for such an addition. Ubisoft Montreal isn’t parading the detail about in a “look at this” type of way. Interestingly, Osa is Rainbow Six Siege’s first trans operative. Take a look at what's to come with the UbiNews team. The new Attacker, Osa, can deploy a bullet-proof shield to help her teammates dig in and push on when Crystal Guard launches on September 7. That also means Osa has the potential to outright close down flank routes enemies might otherwise use to ambush your team. The Talon 8 can also be affixed in window frames to provide cover on them. It’s a clear, bulletproof shield with claws that allow it to be affixed to the ground to make a cover spot wherever you have the space. While she’s going to be on the attacker side, this gadget provides defense as she and her team move in. Osa was recently revealed as Rainbow Six Siege’s new operator in a blog post on the game’s website. Rainbow Six Siege’s first trans operator, Osa, is bringing a powerful shield that can block aggression and cut off movement points, even as she and her team move in to engage targets and secure objectives.
Named Crystal Guard, this season brings with it some changes to classic maps, as well as a new operator for the Attacker side. Season 16 of the game is about to arrive. With another season of Rainbow Six Siege comes new operators to use in your battles to breach or defend targets in the game’s highly competitive FPS arena.
