New details have emerged online about the first operator of season Y10S1 in Rainbow Six Siege. Insiders claim that the attacking operator Rauora represents New Zealand and has Maori roots. Her key gadget resembles the mechanics of Castle and Aruni but with fundamentally new functionality.

How Rauora Looks and Operates

According to Shiiny77, Rauora is a fighter with two armor and speed units. She has a dark skin tone and tribal patterns on her face, similar to Thunderbird tattoos. Her hairstyle resembles Thunderbird's elite skin, and her appearance is a mix of Ram and Aruni, but she is heavily armored with a tactical emphasis, not futuristic.

Her gadget allows the installation of metal doors in doorways. However, unlike Castle, the doors deploy automatically upon trigger activation, similar to Aruni's trigger. Also, unlike the defensive counterpart, the gadget is installed remotely.

Weapons and Equipment

Rauora will have two primary weapon options, according to 6leaks on X:

• 417 DMR — a semi-automatic rifle with high accuracy.
• M249 — a machine gun providing powerful fire support.

The list of secondary weapons includes:

• Reaper MK2 — a new fully automatic pistol, externally similar to a modified G18, featuring an extended magazine, equipped with a collimator/red dot sight similar to the RG15 and P-10C.
• GSH-18 — a classic semi-automatic pistol.

Additional gadgets:

• Breaching charges — for breaking through fortifications.
• Smoke grenades — for tactical space control.

Ubisoft confirmed that a full reveal of Y10S1 will take place on February 16 at 20:00 CET. The broadcast will occur before the grand final of the Six Invitational 2025, making it a key event for Rainbow Six Siege fans.
