Clash is the first defender with a shield.

The next season of Rainbow Six: Siege, Operation Grim Sky is near. And Ubisoft has revealed the first of the two new operatives for the season, Morowa Clash Evans. She was announced via a teaser Ubisoft released.

She will be the first defender with a shield in the game. She is a Scotland Yard crowd control specialist who held the frontline during the 2011 London Riots. She later served in the Specialist Firearms Command (SCO19). As you can see in the trailer, the shield that she wields is specially made. It is called the Crowd Control Electro Shield. The announcement reads

“Clash is the perfect Operator to handle this new gadget and weapon because she understands mob behavior and she pioneered snatch squad tactics, not to mention her experience as a riot officer. She knows exactly when and where to deploy this shield to deny entry and slow down her opponents. Not only that, Clash has the backbone to stand her ground and a cooperative mindset to set herself up for assists. She shows no mercy and she has zero-tolerance for nonsense.”

The full reveal of Clash will happen at the first ever Rainbow Six: Siege major in Paris which will take place from August 17-19. You can catch it on Twitch.
