Tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege[1] is getting the Operation Grim Sky[2] downloadable content (DLC) soon. Although the Rainbow Six Siege Operation Grim Sky release date is a vague "September" window according to developer Ubisoft, there's enough time to get acquainted with the game's many intricacies if you're a newbie or haven't played Rainbow Six Siege since its atrocious launch[3]. Here's what you need to know.
Rainbow Six Siege is a first-person shooter. And like most shooters, guns play a huge role in your success. What's equally important though, is knowing what to do during each round two phases - the Preparation phase and the Action phase. The former is the 45 seconds prior to the match, while the latter is the actual firefights that you'll find yourself embroiled in.
Each round pits five players versus five others, with one group attacking and the other defending in an assortment of scenarios that include bomb defusal, hostage rescue, or even securing biohazard material. Every player takes on the role of an Operator - characters with unique skills. Ubisoft Senior Designer David Romero tells Gadgets 360 that these are the best Operators for new players and why....

- Rook (armoured vests, can play safe)
