Rainbow Six Siege Drops Operation Split Fire With Noor, a Shield-Burning Defender

Ubisoft launched Rainbow Six Siege's new season, Operation Split Fire (Year 11 Season 3), on September 1. It adds Noor, an Egyptian two-speed two-health Defender whose Horus Lance launcher fires a projectile that sticks to ballistic shields or walls and then burns, built to punish shield attackers. The season also opens a new Legend rank above the current competitive ladder, nerfs Kali and Dokkaebi, and runs a limited 3v3 arcade mode from September 8 to 21.
