'Rainbow Six Siege' DLC news update: 'Operation Skull Rain' DLC operators unmasked in new clip

The pair of new operators coming via the highly-anticipated "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Skull Rain" downloadable content (DLC) were previewed in a new clip.

The first of the two operators is the Defender by the name Taina "Caveira" Pereira whose special ability is catching enemies off guard and prying information out of them such as locations of other enemies.

As teased in the "Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Skull Rain" DLC clip, Caveira's specialty is silent step and interrogation. Once she does her role, the mission will then be in the hands of the Attacker.

For this much-awaited DLC, the Attacker goes by the name Vicente "Capitao" Souza, who begins the action and makes the move to catch the enemies.

He wields a special crossbow, which he can use to shoot smoke bolts at enemies that they can use for cover. Using the weapon, he can also hit the bad guys with asphyxiation darts, which should be extremely fatal.

As it is always with "Rainbow Six Siege" season pass holders, they will get to enjoy a one-week exclusive access to these new operators. The operators should be available right now.

The "Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Skull Rain" DLC is set the favela, which should be the perfect battleground for snipers as it is mostly narrow streets with high vantage points.

The favela is being teased as "the most destructible map to date." The map was glimpsed in a teaser released on July 27 with a demo after three days.

The official description for the "Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Skull Rain" DLC map reads:

Team Rainbow has been called to pacify and regain control of the Favela. Two BOPEs stationed in the area have been enlisted to provide their tactical expertise of the terrain to Team Rainbow. Mixing colorful and narrow streets with high vantage points, this map supports exterior shell destruction which renders it as the most destructible to date.
