Learning Lion and Finka in Rainbow Six: Siege

One of the things I like best about Rainbow Six: Siege is that it’s OK to learn on the job. The tactical hero shooter is extremely popular, so you’re often partnered with newer people who are also learning. And figuring out how to use a new character — or operator — is part of the fun early in that process. With Ubisoft preparing to release a pair of new operators as part of its Year 3 content update, everyone is going to go through that again.

Earlier this week on the test server, I spent some time with Lion and Finka (when I wasn’t playing the cooperative Outbreak event), which are the new attacking characters in Siege. Lion can see moving targets through walls, and Finka provides an adrenaline buff to her entire team. These are some powerful capabilities, but the best thing about them is that they encourage teams to communicate and work together.
