Rainbow Six Siege: Shifting Tides comes to test servers today

During the Rainbow Six Siege Pro League Finals, which held over the weekend, Ubisoft officially unveiled Shifting Tides. 

It marks the game's final operation of the year, and although a release date wasn't shared, the Y4S4 DLC goes live on test servers today. Two new operators arrive with Shifting Tides, along with a map rework of Theme Park and unique gadgets. 

The first operator is Kali, the Indian leader of a PMC and a dedicated sniper. Her primary weapon is the CSRX 300, the game's first bolt-action rifle with a gadget that destroys almost all defensive gear. Her rifle can breach un-reinforced barricades and hatches. 

Then there's the Kenyan defender Wamai, who is a member of Kali's PMC. He wields a throwable gadget called a MAG-NET, which scoops up grenades, resets their timers, and lets them blow like normal. 

The Theme Park map will have its upper floor train yard replaced with a segmented bombsite. There will also be fewer windows, and the map is brighter. 

The new update will additionally bring limb penetration and a new toggle to exit rappel. When it eventually goes live, the in-game prices for Dokkaebi, Echo, Kaid, Nomad, Vigil, and Zofia get a reduction.
