The drone is an important part of Rainbow Six Siege. A hidden drone in a room, especially with the Yellow Ping feature, can change the course of any round.
Everything in Siege is based on information, so knowing how to use these little tools is important.
With the launch of Operation Solar Raid, players can customize how their drones look. Special drone skins will be added to Rainbow Six Siege, with the idea raised by the community after the release of the limited-time mode Rainbow Six is Magic.
All new features of Operation Solar Raid were made official today on the first day of the Jönköping Major, as the 16 best teams in Stage 3 now face off in Sweden for a chance to win the championship .

Siege’s Operation Solar Raid introduces Drone Skins
Drone skins have finally made it to Rainbow Six Siege! It is not yet clear how much Operation Solar Raid will launch, but (according to Ubisoft) it can be obtained by playing game modes and, eventually, will also be found in the game store.
In today’s announcement, the Rainbow Six Siege video clearly shows a customized Ghosteyes drone. We can see these new cosmetics in the rebuilt Battle Pass, or even during the time-limited event. The opportunities are endless!
Best Siege operators with drones
In Rainbow Six Siege, only attackers have access to drones — with Mozzie’s hacked drones and Yokai’s special gadgets being the only exceptions.
While most attackers have two drones, there are two operators with special gadgets: Twitch and Flores.
Twitch’s special drone is the Shock Drone. He has access to two Shock Drones, with a taser that can destroy defender gadgets including Jäger ADSs, Valkyrie cameras, Bandit batteries, and Mute jammers, among others. He also has access to a standard drone.
Meanwhile, Flores has access to two standard drones and four (yes, four!) special drones called RCE-Ratero Charge. These drones can be used for a maximum of 10 seconds, and will explode when Flores gives the final call. The explosion destroys any defender’s gadget regardless of its condition. It can also act as an intel-gathering drone and as a lethal drone – one blast can kill a distracted defender!
