Rainbow Six Siege Wind Bastion: hands on with two of the strongest operators ever

Wind Bastion’s operators are very unpleasant to come up against: they’re versatile, deadly, and have the tools to become indispensable additions to their respective sides. My hands-on time with Kaid and Nomad on the new Fortress map shows that simplicity still reigns supreme in this tactical shooter. Kaid’s gadget, the Rtila Electroclaw marries Ela’s Grzmot mines to Bandit’s Shock Wire: you can throw three of these claws to surface and electrify all reinforced walls, hatches, barbed wire, and deployable shields within their proximity. With three of these Electroclaws you can cover over twice as many objects as you can with Bandit’s Shock Wire; the only drawback is a lengthy activation time. It’s not a gadget you can have much fun with, but being able to electrify hatches will make Kaid an essential operator on map’s with plenty of vertical play. Kaid also boasts some formidable weaponry, with the choice of an Aug A3 SMG or the semi-automatic, slug-firing TCSG12 shotgun. The former is stable, fast-firing, and boasts excellent range for an SMG, while the latter is a Frankenstein’s monster of a shotgun: it deals 71 damage per shot, has unlimited range, can fire 12 slugs before reloading, and can even carry an ACOG scope.
