情態副詞

The new season for Rainbow Six Siege, Operation
White Noise, has finally been announced in

detail and in this video I’ll be discussing
my thoughts on the new map and operators,

The new South Korean map is called Tower and
yesterday we were given a first glimpse of its layout.

The most important thing about the map is
of course that it has a museum and a bar.

It just wouldn’t be a Rainbow Six Siege
map without those two aspects ;-P

I’m joking of course but have you ever noticed how many of the maps seem to have museums and bars in them?

If we examine the floor plans of the new map,
we can see that it is quite unique compared

to everything we’ve seen before and these
are the things that stood out to me most.

Attackers can spawn on one of two locations
on the roof and then abseil down the sides

of the building or descend down an elevator shaft.

In practice, that means that there will be
no spawn peeking and no runouts but if the

defenders can figure out where the attackers
will try to get into the building, they might

be able to hold them off from even getting
in for quite a while.

The second thing that stands out to me, is
that the map only appears to have 2 floors,

which is less than we are used to on most
maps, although in contrast to many of the

more vertical existing maps, the area of each
floor is significantly larger.

The final thing I noticed on the floor plans
that were revealed is that, even though there

is a symbol for line-of-sight breachable floors,
there are no floors actually marked with these

Given how in high ranked games and especially
during pro-league matches it is quite common

to exploit breachable floors to put pressure
on defenders a floor below, it is surprising

that this map appears to completely forgo
this aspect of Rainbow Six gameplay.

But with plenty of open areas that allow a
view onto lower floors and a good number of

hatches, I guess there will still be some
of verticality to the map.

So like I said, Tower looks quite different
from anything we’ve seen in the past.

No outdoor area, only two levels and no line-of-sight
breachable floors.

But instead we get large horizontal areas
with the potential of opening up long sightlines

It will be interesting to see how this plays out!

But enough of the map, over to the new 
operators and all of their lovely new toys!

The thing that really impresses me about the
new operators this season is the amount of

synergies and specific nemesis style counter
operators they have.

Let’s go over them one by one; in case you
have not heard about their gadgets yet, I

will very briefly describe how they work and
then go into more detail on their specific

interactions with other operators and 
my personal thoughts on them.

Let’s start off with Dokkaebi: she is a
hacker with the ability to trigger a logic

Firstly it will ring the phones of most of
the defenders, creating the buzzing vibration

sound we are all familiar with, while at the same time blocking their access to the camera network.

This can give away a defender's location as long as there are attackers close enough to hear the buzzing.

Defenders will need to go through an animation,
similar to pulling out a Gu dart, in order

to turn off their phone, making them vulnerable
for a brief moment.

Even more useful than the logic bomb ability
though, is Dokkaebi’s ability to hack the

phone of a defender that has been killed.

This will allow all of the attackers to access
the defenders’ camera network, including Valk cams!

They can even then use the hacked
cams to mark defenders.

That makes Dokkaebi a direct counter to Valkyrie.

The better the defenders’ Valk player is
at setting up a secondary network of cams,

the greater the benefit to the attackers,
if Dokkaebi manages to hack into this network.

On the flip side, the defenders Echo, Mute and Vigil 
will act as direct counters to Dokkaebi’s abilities.

Echo is so technologically advanced that his
phone simply cannot be affected by logic bomb

and any operator within the effective rate
or a Mute jammer is also immune.

Vigil’s own ability somewhat protects him
from Dokkaebi but we’ll get to that in a bit.

In terms of synergies, Dokkaebi partners up
excellently with IQ, since IQ will be able

to detect a defender with her scanner during
the brief period in which the defender is

trying to switch off their buzzing mobile phone.

Great for some sneaky wall bangs if you can
co-operate and get your timing just right!

These are some pretty unique abilities and
I’m really excited to try them out.

Over to Vigil and his ability is similar to
Caveira’s silent step except that it hides

him from drones and cameras 
instead of making him quieter.

The ability takes a second to take effect
once triggered, operates on a cool down timer

and is cancelled when Vigil fires his weapons.

The effectiveness of this ability is balanced
out by giving drone/camera operators a static

So even though he cannot be seen on cam, his
approximate location can still be droned out.

This makes Vigil a soft counter to Dokkaebi,
since he can still hide to some degree, even

when the defenders’ cameras have been hacked.

Attackers that can counter Vigil are Thatcher
& Twitch, whose gadgets will temporarily disable

his cloaking device and IQ, who will be able
to track Vigil with her scanner, whenever

he is actively using his cloak (much like
she can track Pulse).

The idea of being able to hide from drones
in plain sight is amazing and could make Vigil

the perfect ambush roamer but triggering the
jammed overlay in drones means that it will

I guess that’s fair enough from a balance
perspective but still kind of a shame especially

considering how powerful Dokkaebi’s camera
hack looks to be.

Last but not least, the new Grom attacker
Zofia comes equipped with a double barrelled

grenade launcher that can shoot impact fused
breaching grenades as well as concussion grenades

that will cause essentially the same drunken
effect as Ela’s Grzmot mines.

These concussion grenades can be bounced around
corners and are on a timer as well as being

equipped with a proximity fuse that will detonate
the grenade once it is close to a target.

Once per round, similar to Doc, she will be
able to self-revive from the Down-But-Not-Out

state but instead of using a fancy injector
gun loaded with Red Bull (or whatever is in there)

The only downside to this brute strength approach
is that she only ends up with one single HP

once she’s back up meaning that even a mild
gust of wind will be enough to take her out.

Some of people I have spoken to were shocked
at hearing about this ability, fearing that

it would be massively OP but I don’t think
it’s going to be a huge issue.

I mean, Doc already has a version of this
ability and he ends up with more health when

he self-revives and while that can very occasionally
lead to an amazing clutch situation, how many

times has it had a massive impact on your games?

And also, it is important to remember that
if there is a friendly attacker nearby, it

is better to let them help you up, since you
get half of your health back, so the self-revive

should really just be a last resort strategy.
