UPDATE
RAINBOW SIX SIEGE
New update adds Osa, my new favourite attacker.

WHAT’S NEW IN THE BIGGEST GAMES
Following Rainbow Six Siege updates has become a tad uneventful since it started releasing only one new operator per season, but if you haven’t fired it up in a long while, Crystal Guard is the perfect time to come back.
Along with a whole bunch of balancing tweaks to three popular maps, Crystal Guard also adds an attacker with an usual new gadget. Her name is Osa, and she carries transparent deployable shields that she can install on any door, window, or open floor. She’s essentially an attacker with a defender’s gadget, and that makes her very scary for a few reasons. For one, Osa can hold her Talon-8 shields in front of her like a shield operator. She’s still vulnerable from the sides, but scouting ahead with a shield in-hand is a useful tactic with teammates backing you up.
