UbiBlog features some details on
Operation Dust Line, the major
update for
Rainbow Six Siege coming next month to the first-person
shooter sequel. This will add two new Navy SEAL operators to the roster, and the
post outlines what they add and when to expect further details as well as the
release:
The Rainbow Six Siege team has revealed early details on Operation Dust Line,
the
second major content update for the game, which is scheduled for release in
early May. Much like
Operation Black Ice before it, Operation Dust Line features two new
operators from a counterterrorism unit. For this update, it will be Valkyrie
(defense) and Blackbeard (attacker) from the US Navy SEALs. Valkyrie will have
access to deployable sticky cameras while Blackbeard will come equipped with a
rifle and shield. You can tune into the PC Rainbow Six Pro League Finals on May
7 to learn more about Valkyrie, Blackbeard, and the rest of the content coming
in Dust Line. Rainbow Six Siege Season Pass holders will get access to the new
Operators the week of May 9.

includes the addition of two new "Inch By Inch" maps, discounts on some virtual
