　　Now Playing: Testing Rainbow Six Siege Y4S4 Operators

　　Numerous Operators will also receive some adjustments. The highlight intensity of Glaz's scope is being increased to better help him spot enemies. Kaid's Impact Grenades are being replaced with barbed wire, and the radius of his Electroclaw is being increased from 0.75m to 1.3m. Meanwhile, Warden's Barbed Wire is being replaced with C4, and Jackal is getting a more significant rework.

　　On top of those changes, Operation Shifting Tides is adding a limb penetration system. As Ubisoft previously detailed, this means that some weapons will be able to hit more than one target per shot, while others will be able to pierce through one body part of an Operator and hit another, potentially inflicting more damage. You can read much more about the new limb penetration system on the game's dev blog.

　　Operation Shifting Tides is live now on the PC version's test servers and is expected to arrive in December, . As previously mentioned, but no official release date has been announced as of yet. As previously mentioned, the biggest addition in the update will be two more Operators: the attacker Kali, and the defender Wamai.
