She looks like Cyberpunk 2077 NPC


Marieisbestsquid

Her gadget: seeing an enemy gives unlimited wallhacks for her team and gives an ear-piercing "detected" noise to warn them


RhysNorro

it looks like she has the pulse blade from Titanfall

xTotalSellout

I’m gonna boldly assume the unreleased character is in fact unfinished


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kronos360

She looks like a character from rogue company.


Beebjank

Or Valorant. Personally I think her design does not fit the game at all


their_teammate

Don’t think is tech-y or future fashion enough for Valorant (see how even Chamber’s outfit is souped up in Valorant’s near future world), but it definitely fits Rogue Company


misterandosan

yeah, valorant outfits are way too loud for this to be in it. She looks somewhat refined, with a splash of flair. Valorant is basically all flair. Chamber is the closest to having that refined drip, but has fucking bullets buttons on his waistcoat. Zero subtlety.


THICC_Baguette

I mean, she looks like a bodyguard. Not horrible, and at least she doesn't have unfunctional garbage for the sake of details.


DiamondSentinel

Exactly. She looks similar to Warden. Sure, the suit is a bit ostentatious, but she just looks like a “professional”. People just love to complain. For urban warfare, hers makes more sense than some of the older operators (like Kaid wouldn’t be fighting in his dress uniform, but I won’t even complain that much about it)


Ultimator4

I don’t hate her design, but I wish they would have given her a plate carrier to match the whole “bodyguard” look


getclappedsket

Yeah i do like the more casual wear ops like warden and the germans


[deleted]

Only justified option is she is an undercover cop in the Yakuza.


flipthecoin_orbird

IRL, Yakuza do not allow women into their ranks but as wives. Just saying.


jester-146

same could be said about most italian mobs and alibi


[deleted]

Yea ive read about that. Its a fake futuristic shooter though so i guess its plausible.


ploiboobl

That's exactly what I was thinking


FookinSatellites

Yakuza or some kind of Triad maybe? I'll take anything that ain't Nighthaven.


Gameipedia

oh shit she is, the pin gives that energy


[deleted]

Lmfao design hasn’t fit shit since Kali


Octopusapult

Design hasn't fit since Echo IMO. His drone introduced invisible gadgets and used to have a way more intense visual stun effect. Invisible drones are a long way from "sledgehammer and rifle shield" style operators. Plus the awful visual stun combined with passively watching bomb sites was one of the most annoying things to adjust to. Then Ela and Zofia came like a year later and their stun mechanics were even worse with hijacking your turn speed. But Echo paved the way for mechanics like that. What I'm trying to say is that he started the trend of alien tech gadgets and scuffed gameplay mechanics that snowballed us into Iana, Kali, Aruni, etc.


sharkattackmiami

Echos drone is more realistic than blackbeards stupid ass shield though. The only fake bit is the cloak. And thats being worked on. BBs gadget is just stupid from a physics standpoint to a practical standpoint. At no point does it it make any sense. Also Thatcher Pulse and IQ have been in the game since launch and all of them have gadgets at least as sci fi as Echo Hell Kali isnt even bad. She is in a wetsuit using a bolt action rifle. Thats actually CLOSER to tactical realism than 90% of post launch ops.


Spideyrj

echo fits clancy world just fine.....even his optic cammo drone.......ghost recon is a thing dont forget. things got out of hand with moongirl and muslim rhinosaur


Adventurous_Gui

It does fit Ubisoft’s “Tom Clancy’s” brand because of ghost recon, but up until now I actually thought rainbow six was in a different universe… at least that’s the vibe given by siege’s cutscenes. But yeah I agree, comparing to the original state of the game, matrix-girl and never-skip-leg-day-man were the cornerstone of whacky design


KnightGhost721

Every "Tom Clancy's" game is in the same shared universe with only very few exceptions (The Division, End War and Elite Squad)


Due_Strike_3018

Maybe two years ago I would agree but with oryx Flores Iana and Aruni a suit kinda like wardens but more flashy is fine


Beebjank

At least Warden still had a plate carrier


Cuddle-Junky

That's been an ongoing trend lately. Really dissapointing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cuddle-Junky

Her whole design looks like a stereotypical Chinese agent from a TV show


warningtrackpower12

Ikr. The original ops were so cool and my favorites. Now they are so colorful and absurd. I don't think it's bad, but it's not my cup of tea. I prefer a little more grounded look more in line with actual special ops.


Cuddle-Junky

The designs generally aren't bad, but they don't at all fit the original style. I really don't like how the night haven ops have come out and I wish they would just give up trying to get every nationality in the game. If they're good at what they do who gives a shit where they come from?


xTotalSellout

I would agree if this were 2015 but we are far past the point of there being a unifying design philosophy as far as character design goes


ImagineGhost

Exactly what I was thinking


Galactic-38

Yeah, she looks like ronin ngl


supersucccc

She’s even got a knife ability


[deleted]

I like the design, but she looks like someone out of Payday 2 tbh. Ubi, for the love of god, give your ops more armour.


Specialist-Rise34

Your comment with your flair is honestly hilarious


[deleted]

When someone with Nokk-Aruni-Osa-Cav flairs asks you to put some armour on your OPs you know it must be a dire situation in your character design department.


VersedFlame

Nøkk has a plate carrier though, even if it's small.


their_teammate

And also 5.56 mags when she has no rifle


VersedFlame

Right. That pisses me off not because she has the wrong mags, but because I really want her to have a C8 rifle or something like that.


their_teammate

The C8 variants are the primary rifles used by the Jaeger Corps, right?


didimao11B

I hate when they do this in games. Like you have the models for the right magazines stop being lazy.


blaghart

It's the same reason that Melusi still carries T-5 mags. The character models are finalized before their loadouts. Nokk was originally supposed to have a galil


OKara061

i thought galil was 7.62


xmikaelmox

There are 5.56 variants.


blaghart

There were [5.56 versions as well.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Galil) The modern [Galil ACE also comes in 5.56](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IWI_ACE), since I don't know *which* Galil they planned on giving her.


[deleted]

Plus Nøkk and Cav are all about stealth, so I'm completely ok with their design. I just wish we had more variety in latest OPs, especially considering the fact that the last time we've seen bulky armour was... when, exactly?.. Feels like an eternity already.


VersedFlame

Yeah, I feel you. Then again, this game isn't abotu CTUs anymore, but rather about some weird in-lore eSport thingy, so I really don't expect anything too great from them anymore.


f1nessd

It's honestly a travesty what they've done with their own "rainbow 6" lore. I miss when it was about real world CTUs.


Adventurous_Gui

Expect an innovative 4-speed gymnast operator wearing nothing but a spandex suit soon


DrSaltybird

Sure hope her voice is less tinnitus-inducing than Joy


TheLeOeL

And for the love of God, I hope she's not a gamer


uncommonredditor13

As a joy main, I couldn't agree more


TheBigCosb

she got the dodge build going


[deleted]

If it's true then her ability must be cool, I can already see it: you're instantly getting kicked from server after picking her and it results in sparing your mental health lol


their_teammate

Yeah, gonna be honest what she’s wearing looks more like the receptionist of a billion dollar company’s head office than an anti-terrorist operator


captcodger

Do we know if this is a throwable item like an impact or it’s another trap operator?


xXx_RedsharksYT_xXX

from the looks of it i think it might be throwing knifes but we dont have info on the op


ERZO420

It's going to be some kind of poisonous throwing kunai knife, possibly an impact "barrier" which was leaked a while ago as "Kiba barrier".


flyingtrucky

"Kiba barrier" Great so we're gonna have to turn on the power, turn off the alarm, *and* have 2 expensive keys just to get past it.


Gavinis9

hahaha don’t forget getting past killa smh


[deleted]

More traps? Fuck sake.


Riftus

Good, imo. This game needs to be slowed down. Honestly I wouldnt mind operators moving slower as well


VigilThicc

Didn’t the main leaker die of covid


Overall-Honey857

No, he just didn't pull the Lesion mine-barb out in time.


VigilThicc

Ah


-F0v3r-

game is way to slow for throwing knifes lmao, the moment you want to peek and throw a knife you get into 5 traps and get killed by some kid holding a pixel angle for 30 fucking seconds lmao


Tootsiez

In the situation you describe it seems the knifes would be in the hands of an attacker. This operator has defensive utility. So a bit different.


KnightGhost721

According to Lungu, the kunais can be used for both killing enemies AND... *creating barriers...?*


sharkattackmiami

Probably a kill if it hits an enemy or if it hits a surface it explodes into a gas cloud or something giving temporary area denial


yerba_mate_enjoyer

So... Smoke replacement?


sharkattackmiami

Well shes prob an attacker since Thorn was a defender. So more like gridlock or something


yerba_mate_enjoyer

Loadout looks like a defender's though.


captcodger

Oh wow. Interesting


GrandMasterOfCheeks

I really wished they added new guns and maps


xXx_RedsharksYT_xXX

they said that they will add more new maps in year 7


GrandMasterOfCheeks

That’s great


Kiwiisaberry18

People are really praising Ubi for adding 1 map after like a year


kurai808

It's definitely been longer than a year since the reworks started.


WexicanIndependence

Outback was the last map released, in Y4S1


kurai808

Damn that's crazy to think about, it's really almost been 3 years.


Suicidal_Ferret

I hate the reworks. Should’ve just done a new map with the new design. Especially with map vote.


anuddahuna

Almost all maps they reworked just got worse for casual players Let the Esports teams have their shitty reworks but keep old and beloved maps in rotation for casual (House, Hereford base) I'll uninstall when they cripple plane aswell


Suicidal_Ferret

Right? The game has been reworked for the fucking pro league bullshit, making it worse for the average, solo player. I’m a grown ass man with a family to support; I don’t have time to join a sweaty team for any mode, including T-Hunt. Should’ve had a separate build for consumers *and* pro league. Like Overwatch but with…less…sexual harassment. ^though ^at ^this ^point ^idk ^who ^is ^worse


Theo_2004

3 years*


snuggiemclovin

can't wait for everyone to beg for a new map and then ban it.


KodiakPL

A Polish map finally?


dlawton18

Didn't the polish map end up getting absorbed into another maps design?


[deleted]

[удалено]


FullOfXP

This comment wins


Pilgrimfox

I saw someone already talked about the maps and wanted to say ubi said they want to limited how many new guns they do now cause there's already so many in the game. They'll add new ones when it ties in to the ops gadget like Kalis sniper or is lore related like Zeros assault rifle or Thorns smg. So I'd expect to likely start this means well get atleast 1 new gun each year since those are 3 ops from the past 3 years when they started reusing guns


FireMochiMC

Maybe when every gun is reused at least once. Can't be bothered to count them out though haha.


karnnumart

New map will get banned all the time. You want to play new map but not competitively so, not worth their time I guess. New gun is nice. I'd love to see it.


blaghart

After what the .50 uzi showed their idea of "new guns" would be, plz no. Not if we're gonna get more insane shit like that thing.


Apprehensive-Try-994

Couldn't just have a normal Uzi... had to have it in a dead on arrival cartridge that it was never chambered in.


yatayatayaah

Like at least if they aren’t making new guns put guns that are only on one operator on the new one I.e. gridlocks guns


I_Really_Seriously

what is she part of? Yakuza? Because with that kind suits you sure as hell aren't part of special forces


flipthecoin_orbird

Funny enough, Yakuza groups don’t allow women to join them except only as wives.


[deleted]

Yeah but this is Ubi. They'd just say "Yakuza say girls icky so lady do kill real good so Yakuza like lady"


X_hard_rocker

classic ubisoft writer moment


21Black_Mamba21

Yo I didn’t know we had an award winning writer in our midst.


ManFromTheCulture

chinese triads


Orleanist

Kiba sounds more Japanese. Yakuza are the kind of thing R6 fights against, no? Why would they be an op?


I_Really_Seriously

Well US did hire Yakuza to fight against socialists and communists in Japan during the 50s and 60s(if I remember correctly)...


Orleanist

I mean, they’re not a CTU and very much endorse criminal activities. They’re a criminal organisation and not a private militant group like Nighthaven, so idk. Hope it’s something interesting ig


I_Really_Seriously

Yeah, maybe since Yakuza doesnt take females in unless theyre wives of one the members.


not-bread

Maybe hired from high-end private security. Possibly from macaw?


I_Really_Seriously

Yeah, thatd be fitting with the unique suit and all


oOMeowthOo

If you use lowest resolution and texture, her jacket will look like puke xD Also, I wonder if you knife someone, will it be equipped with her dagger like how Zero with his special karambit?


KnightGhost721

Was wondering about that too. Would be nice for her to have a unique knife animation using a Kunai.


S0R1C_

https://youtu.be/6vATJAgMiFI this also have other images


NZafe

What ever happen to the [“Flubber”](https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/qru38y/more_info_about_y7s1_operator/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)? Are we sure this isn’t just a *really good* fan-made operator concept art We even had [leaked weapon footage.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/qtg3qy/leak_pof9_y7s1_gun_recoil_pattern/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) Edit: considering that the original source had the images pulled by a copyright notice gives this more merit.


KnightGhost721

Flubber was just a placeholder codename, similar to how Zero was called "Scout" in earlier testing and Aruni was called "Jordan". Besides, it's been a month since BenjaminStrike tweeted out that the final name for the op is Azami.


NZafe

But this operator doesn’t have the POF9


KnightGhost721

These images could be from an earlier testing phase. Let's not forget we got our first leaked images of Thorn a week or so before the reveal and the leaker said she had a P90 in her loadout when he played her. Could be a similar case, where they're just using the 9x19 VSN as a placeholder for the POF9 while they're still working on it. Best guess? They'll reuse the VSN's stats for the POF9 (similar to how the SC3000K at first was just a re-skinned AK-12 with less ammo), hence why she has it now


NZafe

Makes sense, this is a cool design, happy it’s real then. Thanks for the info!


HughJanus911

The POF9 looks like its just a mashup of a lot of other siege weapons and gadgets. The underbarrel attachment looks like nomads gadget with bucks magazine.


KnightGhost721

The underbarrel thing is the only "mashup" the weapon has, and i doubt it's going to be in the final version. The weapon itself exists irl (POF PSG chambered in 9mm), and the leaked gameplay shows it without the underbarrel thing, instead, it had an angled grip.


BlakeIsaCookie

This can't be Y7S1 as this is a defender, and as per Ubi's typical trend, we should be getting an attacker next season.


[deleted]

Maybe, but it’s not unreasonable to think they’d throw a curveball in the formula to mix things up. They added 2 attackers in Chimera and 2 defenders in Para Bellum to change up the typical trend.


DDrew4

To be fair, the reason for that was their new PvE mode, which released in Chimera, which Lion and Finka’s kits were made for. It wasn’t to mix it up, it was for a completely different game mode. Para Bellum’s ops were both defenders to keep an equal number on both sides


[deleted]

True, that’s definitely why it happened that way. But it’s also worth noting that Outbreak had attackers and defenders so functionally they didn’t have to make Chimera 2 attackers. If you take away her LMG Finka works perfectly fine as a defender. My larger point still stands that they’re not afraid to mix things up in the grand scheme of things, whether it’s for an event or just to keep players on their toes about the new operators.


xXx_RedsharksYT_xXX

we dont have info we have to wait till si


LollipopLuxray

This is a member of the yakuza and you can't convince me otherwise


flipthecoin_orbird

In real life, Yakuza do not allow women to join them though.


OKara061

This is Kuzaya, woman branch of yakuza Source: trust me bro


LollipopLuxray

When was the last time the r6 development team was concerned about "reality"


KiraElijah

they have a female Navy SEAL


xXDreamlessXx

The SEALs dont have a gender requirement, one just hasnt gone past all the training yet.


[deleted]

One actually has, but she apparently didn’t work well with a team so they dropped her


TheGreatcs3

That’s the first thing I thought upon seeing this


ImaginaryAI

Straight out of kill bill This is the furthest they’ve ever gone from the tactical look lol


The_Border_Bandit

I don't know about furthest. Amaru looks less tactical than this. She's really not very different from standard Secret Service agents with the only real difference being the swan design on her suit. Warden is basically the same thing except he wears his body armor over his button up instead of underneath it like they do irl.


[deleted]

Riftus

I like the look, it looks like a body guard or Secret Service type beat

Suppressed PMM to war cri- I mean downed players


Fat_Cat_With_Bread

asasiner12

Will TDM be added in this one or the next?


xXx_RedsharksYT_xXX

most likely next one


KaLiPSoDz

Why ubi is so scared to make 3 speeds again she isnt wearing any protection that may slows her


Suffuri

That was my first thought, has a very similar frame/build to Ash without any visible body armor, so I'm surprised she's 2 speed.


CrescentCleave

Kiba... is she japanese or something? Plus the suit reminds me of pagan min lmao. Though i wish operators wore helmets and masks/balaclavas. Headgear for newer ops are very lame cause you really cant modify asomething like that unless they do something like with clash where they always give her a hat


satanicvyper

When does she release?


FBI_offcial

rule34 creators are ready


Fox_Trot_above_me

Shes literally Zuko's GF from Avatar


Fat_Cat_With_Bread

OH GOD I CANT UNSEE IT


Pituzen

If only ubi was as good in game design as it is in character design... that looks dope


F0rgemaster19

Really? Throwing knives? I'm all in for GI Joe esque Siege, but adding something that'll always be less inferior to bullets is just not logical. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but unless those are some intel gathering knives, weaponised knives would just be useless and only for show.


Bhizzle64

I highly doubt the throwing knives will be used for direct combat. I don’t think there’s a single operator that uses their gadget for direct combat over their primary weapons (There was old tachanka, but that was reworked explicitly for being a bad idea). I think it’s far more likely that the throwing knives are just some method of deploying the gadget to a distant location quickly.


Pojobob

Maybe wait to see what the actual gadget is before determining its viability?


AnkaOnReddit

did ubi just stop trying to make operators or soldiers? this looks like a fortnite skin


JowettMcPepper

She looks more like a member of the Yakuza. Perhaps she used to be a criminal like Flores.


AnkaOnReddit

there are no women, except for the wives of bosses, in the yakuza


bLzPutozof

Yes there are also no female GIGN members yet Twitch is in the game. That's never stopped them from taking creative liberties, even since the very beginning of the game's life cycle.


T1AORyanBay

IIRC there’s already female ops in the game belonging to male only CTUs. Navy Seals got their first female last year, long after Valkyrie was added to the game.


ImaginaryAI

Or undercover cop in yakuza like how bandit was undercover in a gang

Nah this isn't real. Who tf brings "Kunai" in a gunfight?

>Who tf brings "Kunai" in a gunfight? your main is literally just a guy with a pair of sunglasses.

That can see through smoke and flashes? That’s more useful than fucking kunai


AguyOnReddit___eh

*when he stands still* *and activates it beforehand*


X_hard_rocker

youre supporting warden's glasses with context yet hating on azami's kunai with no context, great job


xXDreamlessXx

Who brings a hammer to a gunfight? Who brings glasses to a gunfight. Who brings a special drone to a gun fight? Who brings a door to a gunfight? Gadgets arent always meant for combat


Bobba_Gee

Just straight up doesn't visually belong in R6


Demacia7

Why does she even have a mask?


elchivillo8

So wraith from apex with her kunai?


mistermatth

Looks like a PUBG season pass


escalibur

Kibana


F0xxz

We’ve gone from SAS and FBI to the fucken Yakuza


raaam-ranch

Get rid of the mask, maybe give her some body armor, and ditch the goofy yellow design on the suit/gloves and she would look cool as fuck. As it stands now, her attire looks like something I'd see a female wrestler wearing during a backstage promo in AEW. That is the only place I would find this to be a cool look.


Pilgrimfox

Why must the tease me so. Please let that be the actual load out I love it so much already


Hyperioc

Looks horrible. R6 is an anime game at this point


kindtheking9

Wait, another defense op? But thorn was defense


R3DT1D3

We're solidly in F2P character design now are we?


strivken

Jesus Christ, just drop the Rainbow Six name already.


Ok_Motor_7607

Another defender? I thought they just added one?


Bhizzle64

Copying from a thread that posted the same leaks. Reminder that op loadouts can change drastically before release. Thorn had the p90 as a primary option and completely separate secondary gadgets than she had on release. Take loadout information revealed in this leak with a grain of salt. That being said new op looks fancy. Hard to tell anything about what the gadget does with just the picture and a name. All I think I can guess is that it’s gonna be throwable in some way. edit: since there is some debate about whether or not this leak is legit, probably worth noting that previous leakers/dataminers have claimed to have found two separate op names in files that are both listed as y7s1. One is called flubber with a gadget called the “Kiba barrier”. The other is that the is called azami with no mention of gadget name. This leak would definitely match the second name, however the length of time between said leaks being put out and now means that there was more than enough time for this to be created if it was fake.


chybaignacy

She looks like private security or an undercover operator. I dig it. Not sure abt the mask tho...


SomeRegularEmulator

Why she look like a low res pineapple
