Recruit Remaster coming to Rainbow Six Siege Operation New Blood (Y9S2) 

Fans are excited about the Recruit Remaster coming to Rainbow Six Siege Operation New Blood. After years, Ubisoft is finally reworking the Pathfinder character that made this tactical shooter famous and welcomed new players into its intense competitive FPS experience. This time, two recruits based on the Pathfinder character will have fresh personalities, loadouts, and abilities.

The Recruit Remaster was first announced with the Year 9 roadmap earlier in 2024 when Operation Deadly Omen was released. As promised, it is arriving with Y9 Season 2.

This article will go through all the changes you can expect from the Recruit Remaster coming to Rainbow Six Siege Operation New Blood.

Nine years after the title's release, Ubisoft is finally reinventing its first Operator through the Recruit Remaster coming to Rainbow Six Siege. However, you will be able to play as two different Recruits, one for attack and the other for defense. The attacking one is called Striker and is a female operative. On the other hand, when playing Recruit on defense, you will fill the shoes of a male Operator called Sentry.

Both their designs are highly inspired by the Recruit visuals of Rainbow Six Mobile, and Siege will treat these two as the "Swiss Army Knives" of the roster.

One of the most notable features of this rework is the ability to customize your loadouts by selecting two secondary gadgets for your Recruits.

As these units do not hold any unique primary ability like other CTU Operators from Siege, you can mix and match any secondary utilities from the game to fill out the ability slots when playing as them. In the reveal, Ubisoft stated that this will help players adapt to different strategies, fill gaps, as well as offer new players opportunities to explore different gadgets and tactics.
