Operation Twin Shells is live and introduces new seasonal content to Rainbow Six Siege. Here’s an overview of everything launching in Season 3.
A new Defender named Skopós. She packs plenty of firepower with her PCX-33 assault rifle, but it's her pair of remote-operated robots that make her a force in any situation. Skopós enters the battlefield in control of one as an Operator and the other as an Observation Tool protected by a reinforced shield. While she can only operate one at a time and will lose connection to both shells if one is destroyed, she can switch between them at will, making Skopós an effective intel and support Operator.
Player protection improvements: Season 2 has seen an increase in cheater activity and the Rainbow team is making them best to reverse this. Have a look on the Player Protection update to learn more about the action plan!
After Action Report: You have now a full redesign of the score board, team and individual performance screens to get the most relevent information to master the game.

Each update and decision we make takes into account various elements such as player feedback, time allocated to ensure the quality of the features delivered, and more.
With that in mind let's delve into this Mid-Season Roadmap Update!
ROADMAP UPDATES
[MAJOR FEATURE] SHOOTING RANGE ACCESS DURING MM
Status: Confirmed for Y9S3
In Y9S3 players will be able to practice their aim while waiting for a match. Search for a match, select the Shooting Range, and the game will take you into your match once it's ready.
[NEW] [PLAYER PROTECTION] BINARY HARDENING
Status: Confirmed for Y9S3
We will continue to enhance game security by introducing changes to the game code base using encryption and hardening techniques. These updates will help to disrupt cheat makers and make future cheating creation more difficult. Find out more in our latest Player Protection Update.
[NEW] [PLAYER PROTECTION] QB SYSTEM EXPANSION
Status: Target Delivery: Y9S4
The QB System is one of our security systems for Siege. After a successful introduction in 2022, we found that production was halted by several cheat creators. Our Anti-Cheat team is currently working on an expansion of the QB System which we believe could be a game changer for the disruption of cheat makers.
[MAJOR FEATURE] SIEGE CUP BETA (PC)
Status: PC BETA Confirmed for Y9S3
The Siege Cup will first launch in Beta form with a limited availability, releasing on PC only initially and in the NA and EU regions. The Siege Cup will provide a highly competitive experience and so this testing phase will allow us to trial the feature itself while also analyzing server performance. It’s crucial that we provide a polished and fair experience for everyone and this initial Beta phase will help to facilitate a full release in the near future.
[BALANCING] SOLIS UPDATE PT 2, DOKKAEBI, NØKK
Status: Confirmed for Y9S3
Solis: Part 1 of the Solis update came with Y9S2. In the upcoming season we'll be bringing the deeper system changes that we've been working on.
DOKKAEBI: The update coming to Dokkaebi will directly tackle some of the frustrations that her opponents feel, while ensuring that she can remain an impactful attacker.
NØKK: In Y9S3 we'll be bringing an update to Nøkk designed to improve her usability and playability.
[PLAYER COMFORT] AFTER ACTION REPORT 2.0
Status: Confirmed for Y9S3
The After Action Report that you see after completing a match will see a full redesign, realizing a fresh and more fluid experience.
[MAJOR FEATURE] BADGES AND CAREER
Status: Delayed to Y9S4
As announced in the Year 9 Overview, Badges will allow players to show-off their hard earned achievements in Siege. The Career page will also be a new home for players wanting to track in-game stats, Rank, Reputation and more.
[MAJOR FEATURE] VERSUS AI 2.0: ATTACKERS
Status: Confirmed for Y9S3
In Y8S4 we released the Versus AI Beta, allowing players to play against defending AI alone or in a squad. With Versus AI 2.0, players will now be able to defend the site, while a team of highly trained AI Operators do their best to infiltrate and take victory.
[TRAINING AND ONBOARDING] TARGET DRILL
Status: To be removed in Y9S4
Since the release of Endless Drill, we’ve quickly seen it become the new favorite way for players to warm up and sharpen their skills against dummies. With this in mind, Target Drill will be removed in Y9S4, effectively being fully replaced by Endless Drill. With Endless Drill being the only way to train against dummies from that point, it will also be renamed to Target Drill.
FULL REVEAL
Stay tuned for the Year 9 Season 3 reveal coming up on Sunday, August 25th, at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 7PM CET.
