Crimson Heist, the first season of Rainbow Six Siege Year 6, is now available.

This new season of Rainbow Six Siege includes the addition of the Argentinian operator Flores, the Border map rework, the new Gonne-6 secondary weapon, and the Match Replay beta, amongst other updates.

Year 6 Season 1 comes with a brand-new Battle Pass, including 100 tiers and 131 rewards, available until May 24.

The Battle Pass includes a free and a Premium track available for 1200 R6 Credits and will include the new operator Flores. Owners of the Premium Battle Pass can play with Flores immediately, while other players can unlock him with Renown or R6 Credits starting March 30.

New seasonal content including the Border map rework, Match Replay Beta, and the Gonne-6 are available right now for free and for all players.

Here's more:

In Crimson Heist, players will discover a brand-new attacker: Flores. Equipped with an original gadget called the RCE – Ratero Charge, Flores can deploy a remote-controlled explosive device at his feet and drive it through the map during a limited period of time until it detonates in a powerful explosion. Flores is armed with an AR33 or an SR-25 as a primary weapon and a GSH-18 as a secondary weapon.

In addition to the new operator, players will have access to a reimagined Border map, which has been newly reworked with an interior balcony connecting the East staircase to Break room. The bathroom has also been extended to be connected to the Tellers. Players will play in a new challenging environment with some entries blocked, a reduced number of destructible walls, and an additional outside staircase.

Additional updates are coming with Crimson Heist:

  • Gonne-6
  • Match Replay Beta
  • Newcomer playlist rework
  • Drone proximity awareness
  • Disabled state for electronic gadgets
  • Operators price decrease
  • Seasonal weapon skins

In addition, the game will be available for free from Thursday, March 18 to Thursday, March 25 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.  The game will also be on sale for up to 70% during the period depending on the platform and version of the game.
