New Operator - Solis

"Solis can clearly analyze and identify Attacker devices including drones, breaching devices, and more. Her gloves also allow her to interact with the gadget overlay and trigger a cluster scan. Solis is a medium speed, medium health Operator, carrying the P90 or an ITA 12L as a primary weapon and an SMG-11 as a secondary weapon," Ubisoft said.

Siege’s new operator, Solis, can pick up ‘crucial information’ that teams can use to their advantage. She gets the P90 and an SMG as the secondar weapon. 

With it’s real name - Ana Valentina Díaz - Solis trusts data more than people. The Colombian operator, proficient in Ballistics is aged 37 and is a key member in Rainbow Six Siege.  

In addition to the new operator, there will also be Nighthaven Launch, which will be available on launch on December 6.

Both Attackers and Defenders will have to avoid getting too comfortable as they could easily be flanked and lose their position. Built for creative strategies, this R&D facility challenges players to take advantage of unusual opportunities like the runout hatch just outside Meeting Room
