Today, Ubisoft® announced a new time-limited PvP event for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Containment. The event starts tomorrow, August 4, and will run for three weeks until August 25. Inspired by the upcoming game Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction, Containment sets the players in a reworked version of the Consulate map overruled by the Chimera Parasite in a new game mode called Nest Destruction. Rainbow Six Siege will also be free from August 14 to August 16, where players can earn twice as many bonus Battle Pass points.

This event offers a look into the world of Extraction in Rainbow Six Siege, with a team of REACT agents (attackers) intervening to destroy Nests that are being defended by a team of Proteans, a deadly Archæan variant that can adopt the form of REACT operators (defenders) and mimic their behaviour with maximum speed and melee attacks. Defenders will be provided with additional Health, Aruni’s Punch, and Oryx’s special abilities, but will be weaponless for the whole game. Attackers will have a standard loadout without modifiers and only have access to a reduced Operator selection.

Containment will introduce a new game mode, Nest Destruction, that will have players fight over a Nest. Attackers will be given a two-tiered objective: destroy the nest to open the final objective and win the round. On the other side, Defenders will have to rely on melee attacks and Oryx’s Ramah Dash to stop their opponents and claim victory. Of course, there is always a last solution to secure the win: get rid of the opposing team entirely.

The Containment event comes with its own collection of 33 unique items for Rainbow Six Siege operators including IQ, Ace, Blackbeard, Amaru and Zero on the attacking side, and Aruni, Jager, Kaid, Mira and Warden on the defending team. The collection includes headgear, uniforms, and weapon skins. Each operator’s exclusive, time-limited customisation items are available for purchase as Bundles in the Shop section for 1680 R6 credits or via the Containment Packs for 300 R6 Credits or 12500 Renown.
