Here's what's new in season 3 of Rainbow Six Siege Year 5: Operation Shadow Legacy
And there's a new free-play event coming up, too

Ubisoft has re♚vealed more details about the third season of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Year 5: Operation Shadow Legacܫy.
We already knew that Splinter Cell star Sam Fisher was coming out of retirement to be the next Rainbow Six: Siege playable character, codenamed Zero, but now Ubisoft has dropped more information ab♑out the upcoming season.
Fi🐭sher is an Attacker equipped with a new gadget, the Argus Launcher, which is described as a two-way drill camera that can "pierce soft or reinforced walls, windows, and hatches or stick to any surface".&n๊bsp;
"Once in the camera, the Attacker can rotate the camera’s vision to see the other side of the wall," Ubisoft explains. "Each♛💮 camera is equipped with one laser charge, usable to deal damages to Defenders or destroy gadgets. Sam Fisher is also coming with his unique weapon the SC3000K & melee weapon: the Karambit."
That's not all that's coming to the new seaꦑson, of course. Players will also get to play the reworked Chalet map which boasts improvements to the first and second floors, as well as sporting a "traversable" roof. Objectives have also been tweaked, and there's a hallway added to "improve rotation in the Basement". The Trophy site has now been switched for a new one in Dining, too.
Otౠher updates include Ping 2.0, Map Ban, new secondar💞y gadget: the Hard Breach Charge, new Optics and Sights Colors, and new Reinforcement Pool, too. The Test Server for Operation Shadow Legacy will go live on August 17.
