Ubisoft has just revealed the first details about Year 6 Season 3 Crystal Guard for their tactical shooter R6: Siege.<\/p>\n

Asides from map reworks, armour alterations, balance updates<\/a>, and other exciting changes, the biggest star of Crystal Guard is the latest operator to be added to Rainbow Six Siege’s roster, Anja “Osa” Janković.<\/p>\n

Osa (Wasp) is described as “an engineering prodigy” from Croatia. She is trained in electromechanics, military engineering and robotics, and she is a founder of Nighthaven’s R&D department called “Quantum Concepts & Robotics”. And she is obsessed with ’60s sci-fi movies!<\/p>\n

When it comes to gameplay, Osa is a medium-speed, medium-armour attacker coming equipped with gadgets that make her a very interesting offensive choice.<\/p>\n

Let’s check out everything that Osa brings to the table alongside the Y6S3 Crystal Guard update.<\/p>\n

Operator Osa gadget Talon-8 Shield<\/h2>\n

Osa’s unique gadget is her Talon-8 Shield shield.<\/p>\n

The Talon-8 Shield is completely transparent and bulletproof, and it can create some unique and intense situations where both sides see each other, but can’t inflict damage on the other side. A very useful tool for attackers trying to push and establish forward positions.<\/p>\n

Her shield offers a lot of versatility as it can be used in various ways.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Talon-8 Shield can be carried around by Osa, in which case it protects her upper torso and head completely.<\/li>\n
  • It can be deployed anywhere on the floor.<\/li>\n
  • It can be fixed on window\/door frames while also breaking any barricades.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The fact that the shield is both transparent and bulletproof means that it gives attackers a strategic line of sight into areas occupied by defenders, allowing Osa’s team to create a strategy accordingly and disrupt defenders’ plans.<\/p>\n

    Of course, the Talon-8 Shield is not indestructible, and you can get rid of them in a couple of ways.<\/p>\n

    While the Talon-8 Shield is completely bulletproof, an impact grenade or C4 can easily destroy the shield.<\/p>\n

    Things like smoke and gas grenades, as well as Tachanka’s Shumikha Launcher, can be a great tool to push players behind the shield out of their position and force them to retreat.<\/p>\n

    Defenders can also approach the shield and melee it to shatter the glass, making the shield no longer transparent.<\/p>\n

    Finally, you can aim for the pressurized canisters near the bottom, which will remove the deployed shield completely, but they are only reachable from the inner side.<\/p>\n

    Operator Osa price and release date<\/h2>\n

    Operator Osa will be a part of the Crystal Guard update, which is set to be released on 7th September 2021.<\/p>\n

    When it comes to the cost of unlocking Osa, the operator can be unlocked for either 25,000 Renown or 600 R6 Credits.<\/p>\n
