Ubisoft announced today that Rainbow Six Siege Season 3 will begin on August 2 with the release of the Operation Skull Rain expansion for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Along with a free map, Operation Skull Rain also includes two new Operators: Caveira and Capitão, who are both from Brazil?s Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais (BOPE). Rainbow Six Siege Season Pass owners will receive instant access to both Operators on August 2, and will have exclusive access to them for the first seven days.
Here’s what you need to know about the Operators:

Caveira РCaveira is the defensive Operator of the two. As such, she possesses the ?Silent Step? skill that enables her to sneak up on enemies to immobilize and then interrogate them to reveal their teammates? location. Her arsenal includes an M12 and SPAS-15 for primary weapons, a PRB92 as a secondary, and Nitro Cell C4 and Barbed Wire for gadgets. Capiṭo РAs the attacker, Capiṭo carries a tactical crossbow that can fire asphyxiating bolts that burn oxygen within a certain radius, as well as micro smoke grenades that can mask positions and team movements. Capiṭo also has an M-249 and PARA-308 for primary weapon options, a PRB92 for secondary, and frag and stun grenades rounding her available arsenal.

As for the new map, which is set in a Brazilian favela, it will be free to all players and supports exterior shell destruction, making it Siege’s most destructible map yet.
