A new Rainbow Six Siege update is on the way and Ubisoft has just detailed everything we can expect to see when the Rainbow Six Siege Dread Factor release date rolls around - and it's great news if you're playing as a Defender. In the Y8S2 update, a handful of the best Rainbow Six Siege Defenders are getting a major buff in the form of the Observation Blocker. This brand new secondary gadget option is going to be a game-changer if used correctly and we can't wait to try it out ourselves.
If you're wondering what an Observation Blocker is, you'll be pleased to know that it's a little bit like Ronseal - as in, it does exactly what it says it's going to and blocks observation. Specifically, though, as explained in the Rainbow Six Siege Y8S2 Designer's Notes, the Observation Blocker is a gadget that "creates a digital barrier that blocks vision from any Observation Tool, such as drones, Iana's Gemini Replicator, or Brava's Kludge Drone".
While it's only going to block observation through Observation Tools, and it won't go through walls, this gadget offers Defenders another fantastic option when it comes to denying Attacker droning and concealing their set-up during the Preparation Phase of a round.
