Rainbow Six Siege's Next Season North Star Might Introduce A New Healer Defender
/ Carlos HernandezWith Rainbow Six: Siege’s Year 6 Season 2 just around the corner, Ubisoft teased the upcoming season with a tweet revealing that it will be called North Star, which now supports recent leaks that have been swirling in the internet for some days now, which suggests that the next Operator joining the game will be equipped with a healing gadget.
With the tweet from Ubisoft alone, this supports the information given by the devs earlier this year that the next operator will be from Nakoda nation in Western Canada and could be part of the Canadian Armed Forces Search and Rescue.

The new operator in North Star
Based on information released by R6leaks, the new defender operator will be called “Thunderbird” and will have a deployable healing gadget of some sort called a Kona Station.

Not much information so far but the leaks suggest that the new operator will be a three speed, equipped with either a SPAS-15 or a Spear .308 as a primary, with Bearing-9 or Q929 for a secondary. With regards to the operator’s special gadget, we don’t know exactly how it will work. Will it gradually heal operators nearby the device? Or is it a quick heal in the room? Does it go away? Can it revive? Can attackers heal from it!?
I do like the idea of having yet another operator with the ability to heal aside from the Operator Doc. If this new operator can deploy it and doesn’t go away, that would bolster camp spots for anchor players that watch the objective or hold a key room.
Heck, it might be all a lie and we might get a completely different operator. Ubisoft will likely reveal details on Year 6 Season 2 North Star sometime during the 2021 Six Invitational tournament, so expect an announcement either this weekend or next week.

It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.
