Operation Twin Shells is coming to Rainbow Six Siege with a new Greek Operator who brings a bold approach to battlefield tactics and mobility. The Defender, Skopós, does not take to the field herself, but rather remotely controls two "shells," switching between them at will. The active shell plays just like an Operator and wields the new PCX-33 assault rifle, while the inactive shell crouches down, deploys a bulletproof shield, and functions as an observation tool. This flexibility gives Skopós a unique presence and power as her team works to repel the Attackers. Skopós will be available at the start of the season with the Operation Twin Shells Battle Pass, and unlockable two weeks later with Renown or R6 Credits.
The third season of Year 9 also brings balancing updates for Solis, Nøkk, and Dokkaebi, as well as a new boost ability to help drones evade the Defenders' watchful eyes. The release of Versus AI 2.0 will now allow you to play as a Defender against attacking AI enemies to work on your site setup and defense skills. Plus, the Siege Cup beta brings new competitive opportunities and rewards, recent anti-cheat updates are enhancing game security, and you'll soon be able to warm up by entering the shooting range while matchmaking.

Her two remote-controlled shells, named Talos and Colossus, allow her to navigate the map unlike any other Operator before her. She can only control one of them at a time and if the active shell is eliminated, so is Skopós. Eliminating the
