Rauora is the new Rainbow Six Siege operator

The final day of the Six Invitational is always a big day for Ubisoft and Rainbow Six Siege announcements. This year’s highlight? The reveal of Rauora, the newest Attack Operator hailing from New Zealand.

Rauora’s unique ability centers around the DOM launcher, a deployable bulletproof shield designed for doorways. While resistant to bullets, it’s vulnerable to explosives. The DOM launcher features a trigger mechanism; friendly fire opens it in one second, while enemy fire takes three—a potentially game-changing difference, especially when the defuser is planted.

Adding to the excitement, Rauora brings a new weapon to the game: the Reaper MK2, a fully automatic pistol equipped with a red dot sight and high-capacity magazine. She also has access to the M249 LMG and the 417 marksman rifle as alternative primary weapons.

Rauora will be playable on the test servers starting next week, with a wider release on the live servers to follow.
