This years first new operators of the year in Rainbow Six Siege have been revealed! Finka and Lion are biohazard specialists, and they're equipped with nanobot technology and a big brother drone. Both Finka and Lion's loadouts are displayed down below! It's extremely uncommon for a pair of operators to not be split into attack and defense, but both of these chemical-fighting badasses will be attackers.
Finka Loadout
Lion Loadout
Now we will learn a little bit about Finkas tragic backstory. She was born into a small Russian town in the shadow of the radiated Chernobyl, and like many children born in the surrounding radiation, she had a birth defect. Due to this disease, her muscles degenerated slowly until adulthood when, eventually, she lost feeling and control of her limbs and extremities.
After studying at a prominent Russian university to develop a fix for her disease, she now fights for Rainbow to help others do the same. She didn't find a cure, but she forced her disease into remission, and that's good enough for now.
She also has a history with several other operators. Her run-in with Kapkan resulted in the giant scar across her face, and she trains herself obsessively to fight off her disease with IQ and Valkyrie. Her guns are a mix of several other operators' loadouts, plus the addition of the brand new Spear .308.
Lion on the other hand does not have a backstory quite as tragic as Finka. He was a smart, well-to-do kid in a Catholic family of medical professionals. His path was laid out for him, but as many teenagers do, he rebelled. After partying and getting into enough trouble, his girlfriend became pregnant, and his family kicked him out of the house. At 18 years old and with nowhere else to go, he joined the French army.
Throughout his years in the army, he was reconnected to the Catholic faith and found purpose. He made amends with his family and sent money to his ex-girlfriend to support his son, who she didn't want him to meet. After a long time fighting with the GIGN, Finka suggested he join the biohazard unit with her, and he agreed.
Just like Finka, Lion has run into many other Rainbow operatives, but he usually makes enemies out of them. Doc blames him for the death of a colleague, Thatcher once punched him in the face, and he's viewed as lacking too much empathy.
Also akin to Finka, Lion's loadout is similar to other operators, with the exception of the new V308 submachine gun. He deploys a flying drone, which, as an attacker, is very useful for spotting enemy movement and objectives. It's also used to "control perimeters," although Ubisoft didn't elaborate on that front in the announcement.
