Ubisoft debuted the new rework in a gameplay presentation<\/a>, outlining how they aimed to turn Tachanka into a competitive option over the Siege meme king he’s become. <\/p>\n So what’s included? Tachanka’s new loadout turns his previous LMG turret into a mobile weapon, which can tear apart soft walls and create openings for the team. <\/p>\n This is coupled with new gadget the Shumika grenade launcher, which shoots incendiary grenades to cause pools of fire – allowing players to block off entry-points or make certain corridors more perilous. <\/p>\n Perhaps the most controversial addition is Tachanka now has Zofia’s Withstand ability, allowing him to revive himself once when downed with 1 HP. <\/p>\n Whether Tachanka will become a more competitive viable operator from this rework remains to be seen, although the changes look like fun additions at least – even if many might mourn the loss of Siege’s “joke” operator. <\/p>\n The Tachanka rework will be live on the PC test server from Thursday 8th October. While a full release date wasn’t announced, Ubisoft stated it would arrive during Operation Shadow Legacy<\/a>. <\/p>\n
