As you can imagine, that's an incredibly powerful effect in a game where coordinated actions are crucial - but these new abilities are more balanced than you might initially think. Just as Dokkaebi's Logic Bomb can distract all enemies on the map by (figuratively) blowing up their phones, Finka and Lion both use gadgets that benefit their entire team, now matter how close or far they might be. Both of their gadgets revolve around the idea of a global ability - a concept first trialed in Siege by Dokkaebi, the South Korean hacker from the 707th Special Mission Battalion who quickly became a fan favorite after her debut in the Operation White Noise update.

For starters, we're getting two Attack Operators in an update for the first time (so two Defense Operators are guaranteed for the following expansion to keep things nice and symmetrical). But, as with all Operators, their unique gadgets are what really make them interesting - and Operation Chimera is going all-in on a largely unexplored mechanic that make Finka and Lion stand out.

The official Rainbow Six Siege site goes into great detail profiling Finka (opens in new tab) and Lion (opens in new tab), from their backstories (like how Finka got that distinctive facial scar) to their full equipment loadouts. I've had the chance to play both of these yellow-clad newcomers in PvP (and the new Outbreak mode, which you can read about tomorrow) - and I'm happy to report that their gadgets make good on the promise of keeping Operator designs fresh and exciting. Enter: Finka and Lion, the two newest Operators set to debut with the Operation Chimera expansion that kicks off the first quarter of Siege's Year 3.
There are only so many ways to give Operators tools to plant mines or block off pathways after two years of growth and success, now is the time to break the mold and do things a little differently. And with aspirations to eventually give players 100 Operators to choose from (opens in new tab), Ubisoft's design team has to get more and more creative with each major update. With its many unique Operator characters, each with their own special ability made possible by a unique gadget, Rainbow Six Siege is effectively a hero shooter - one that opts for the gritty realism of CS:GO over the fantastical technology of Overwatch.
