Rainbow Six Siege’s new operators officially revealed, here are their loadouts

Information on new Rainbow Six Siege operators Clash and Maverick has streadily trickled out ahead of their official reveal, but today Ubisoft unveiled the duo for real, providing a rundown on the new ops’ abilities, loadouts, and backgrounds. Clash and Maverick arrive with Operation Grim Sky, Siege’s latest expansion that launches in September. Both carry potentially meta-shifting gadgets that have important implications for how Siege is played. On the attacker side, there’s Erik “Maverick” Thorn. After a period of being listed as missing in action in Afghanistan, Maverick returned to the Unit carrying a specialized blowtorch. We’ve seen his blowtorch before, and noted its ability to cut holes in hard surfaces. However, Ubisoft has revealed today that the quiet Surrey torch won’t be able to cut large openings in reinforced walls. Instead, it can be used to create murder holes and small holes to crawl through, and it can cut through just about anything - including floor hatches, Castle's barricades, and reinforced walls. The blowtorch runs on fuel, and Maverick carries a few of them into each round. Maverick is a one-armor, three-speed operator, and for his primary weapon he has a choice between an M4 and an AR-15 DMR that’s been customized to fire powerful .50 caliber rounds.
