RAINBOW SIX SIEGE
If you haven’t checked in with Rainbow Six Siege in a while, you might have missed that its technology has become pretty wild. In 2020, Rainbow Six’s operational budget includes laser cameras, moving holograms, smart glasses and now laser gates. That’s right, Operation Neon Dawn adds Aruni to the roster – a Thai detective who deploys laser gates and pulverises walls with her Big Boss-like prosthetic limbs. She is radiating coolness from every direction.

It seems like Ubisoft had a lot of fun with her design, and I love any chance to naturally incorporate aspects of an operator’s identity with their functionality. This is no repeat of Oryx, whose wall-smashing ability is satisfying yet mostly useless in practice. Aruni’s Surya laser gates are complex, potentially meta-shifting defensive tools.
