Rainbow Six: Siege: The best Rainbow Six: Siege version: Rainbow Six: Siege fifth grade: What you need to know
In keeping with Ubisoft’s tradition of trapping desperate Splinter Cell fans, the new attacker in Rainbow Six Siege Shadow Legacy is the man behind the night vision goggles: Sam Fisher. Clancy-The main crossover of poetry has opened up new horizons for the legend of “Siege”, and so far, “Legend” has been completely focused on its 56 original characters. Sam has a large intelligence database behind him. This is the most interesting day I have been working with a new operator in years.
Sam did not join Rainbow from CTU. He is a “Rainbow Operator” as a lecturer. It is not clear whether ROS is the designation of future cross-characters or Sam’s one-time choice. Calm premise, legendary character, exciting crossover…So why does Ubi code him “zero”?
As far as I know, this is not Sam Fisher’s past call sign. I guess it made up for his “Siege” debut? This is a very common name in the legend, so I hope that Zero also likes it better than “Sam” or “Fischer”.
I really like Siege’s modern style to Sam, but I didn’t expect that my favorite is his size. By the age of 63, he was no longer so clumsy, and his grandfather became even worse with a bunch of old spy gadgets. Forget the clean shave and sneaker suit, Old Man Fisher retains the beard and winter jacket of the ung foot. His rock climbing days may have passed, but he is happy to make his camera invisible while pushing the field.
That’s right: the camera was attacked. Sam’s main tool is Argus, which is a handheld transmitter that can launch up to four drill cameras. On hard surfaces, they function the same as Valkyrie’s Black Eye cameras. When shooting into a vulnerable surface (yes, including reinforced walls and hatches), the camera will drill into that surface to view the other side. If that is not enough, each camera can also emit a laser pulse, capable of destroying most defenders’ gadgets. Mini-Maestros, if you like.
In the “Siege” in-depth information warfare game, Sam’s drill camera is the main new tool for attackers. With four new points of view, it is easy to see how to use Sam to easily observe the flanks or root out ingrained defenders. Even better, he has the potential to secretly repel defensive players. The laser also made him the second attacker who was able to open the Mira window from behind, and was the only attacker who could ignite the red canister on Goyo’s shield.
Check out the following gif in the new log cabin redo: I know the defender is posted above, so I can drill a camera in the ceiling and throw Kaid’s Electroclaw away.
It looks cool. I like all the Siege gadgets of the past, and these gadgets can obviously inform the design-Twitch’s ghosts, Maestro’s fixed lasers, and Valkyrie’s viscous cameras. The Argus launcher perfectly blends the intuitive, versatile and fun I like in Siege gadgets. All of this also runs counter to many counters.
Argus’s biggest weakness is basic listening. The camera was very loud when deployed, from the beginning of the drilling to the end of the iconic Splinter Cell goggles sound. The lens will also glow bright yellow when in use (brighter than typical drone lights). Any defender who pays attention can put a bullet into the camera before discovering something useful. It is also vulnerable to electricity, silent jammers and Jäger/Wamai’s warhead snatchers-without a counter layer, there is no siege. To truly sneak the camera into the enemy’s territory, it is best to lock the target in an area where the defender does not pay much attention, such as the floor or ceiling.
Situational awareness is half of a siege. Between the four Argus cameras and the two drones, no operator can bring more visibility to the team than Sam. On any bomb site or map, he is an attractive choice, especially considering his other equipment is not boring.
Ubisoft went to great lengths to make Sam Fisher’s introduction feel different, and even gave him a brand new SC3000K assault rifle with the same curved design as the SC rifle in the early Splinter Cell game. Including classic guns, which is a very good feeling, but it can also cause a lot of trouble. SC has a high rate of fire, high damage and easy to manage recoil. Statistically speaking, it has entered the top ranks of assault rifles, but its disadvantage is the smaller 25-round magazine (instead of the usual 30-round magazine).
In practice, SC feels a lot like Ash’s R4-C, with low recoil/high DPS, making you question how it exists. Unlike Ash, Sam is not limited to holographic images. The SC is at the top of the new 2X Scope scope, just like most of the assault rifles used in “Rifle Legacy”. It can’t see as far as ACOG, but the precise sight works well.
Fortunately for Sam, Siege’s pistol is already the perfect pistol: the 5.7 USG has a mandatory suppressor (Sam may stick it to the barrel in case someone tries to remove it). It looks cool, but his USG will still be punished by the suppressor. Although theoretically accurate, he was basically forced to have a pistol that was weaker than most pistols.
That’s too inappropriate-oh wait, Sam holds it diagonally. It doesn’t matter, this is the best pistol.
To end Sam’s task is to choose between fragmentation grenade and clay grenade. For attackers who have already installed a monster rifle and a barrel of cameras, these are two high-impact gadgets. On the paper, he is piled up with equal utility and firepower.
Maybe too much? We will see, but I think his popularity will depend more on his entertainment than on his vitality.
Staying away from Melusi last season, this is a cool character, one of the least interesting gadgets added to the siege, and I’m very happy to see that Ubi can still take the risk of making the best Siege gadgets fun. Strike a balance between returns. As a fan of Splinter Cell, Ubi won’t mess up Sam Fisher or make him novel and great. In fact, the old man Fisher is the latest best Fisher, and I won’t hear other things. Yes, this is a beard.
Everything about Sam is excellent, but be sure to read the other important features of the siege in Operation Shadow Legacy.
