Operation Deadly Omen is kicking off Year 9 of Rainbow Six Siege by bringing the menacing masked antagonist, Deimos, on board as an attacking Operator. His DeathMark gadget can pinpoint and track a Defender's position, and his powerful Vendetta revolver with a unique scope ensures he has the power to take down his prey. Among the big updates coming this season is an extensive rework to the shields wielded by Montagne, Fuze, and Blitz, as well as an ADS update and corresponding changes to attachments and scopes. Plus, a new Locker menu for better management of cosmetic items, a balancing change for Azami's Kiba Barriers, and more.
A New Unique Sidearm
Deimos joins the Attackers as a 2-health, 2-speed Operator armed with either the sturdy AK-74M assault rifle or the burly M590A1 shotgun. His secondary weapon is .44 Vendetta revolver that sports a one-of-a-kind magnified scope. One shot from this new weapon will open up a slug-sized hole in a destructible wall, and two shots will be enough to take down an Operator. He'll also have frag grenades or hard breach charges to help him pursue his objective.
The DeathMark Tracker gadget
Deimos' unique gadget is a small flying probe that he can release into the air to target a specific enemy.

Once Deimos picks his prey and releases the DeathMark, it flies to its target and provides a constant live marker for Deimos to see. While the tracker is active, Deimos can't use his primary weapon, and automatically pulls out his
