The 4th season for this year welcomes the South Korean Operation White Noise, as teased by Ubisoft and leaked by multiple sources. The 3 new operators have all been confirmed and will be joining the game next season along with a new map. A second Polish GROM Operator by the name of Zofia will join this season along with the South Korean Operators Dokkaebi and Vigil. Like previous leaked operators, most of the leaked information was later confirmed and we now know their names, abilities and weapons as well as how they interact with other current Operators in the game.
Zofia
“Zofia” Bosak follows her defending partner Elzbieta “Ela” Bosak who joined the ranks last season with the Hong Kong Operators Ying and Lesion in Blood Orchid. This Polish duo will be the first all female team to join Rainbow Six, and the speculation of a family relation between the two has been confirmed with Zofia being Ela’s Older sister. Comparing the leaked picture and the official picture below the leaked information was pretty spot on. Zofia is Second Lieutenant of the Polish GROM, she is fierce from her fathers training and after losing him suspiciously she wishes to reconnect with her younger sister. She is 2/3 Armour and a 2/3 Speed Defender.

Unique Abilities
KS79 LIFELINE fires 2 impact grenades and 4 proximity concussion grenades however Ela is resistant with a reduction of 50% to these grenades. To counter this Zofia is also resistant with 50% reduction of effect to Ela’s Grzmot Mines. She can switch between different ammo types without needing to reload and can self revive herself if downed.
Dokkaebi
The first of the South Korean Operators that was also leaked with Zofia, is Grace “Dokkaebi” Nam. Below are both the leaked and confirmed images, belonging to the South Korean Attacker. This time, Ubisoft revealed the name and description of Dokkaebi in a premature blog post, which has since been re uploaded with the reveal of this season’s operators. Dokkaebi is a hacker who ‘dances around firewalls‘ and is the first of the Intel type warfare the developers wish to incorporate into the game. She is also a 2/3 Armour and a 2/3 Speed Attacker.

Unique Abilities
Dokkaebi controls a Logic bomb that causes an enemy’s phone to start ringing and therefore reveals their position. She can also hack into the phone of the enemy once killed to gain access to the CCTV Cameras as well as Valkyrie‘s Black Eyes. However Mute‘s Signal Distributors and Echo‘s knowledge of the device make them immune to her hacking.
Vigil
The third Operator that was not leaked with the previous two above is Chul “Vigil” Kyung Hwa, the South Korean Defender. The masked roamer can cloak himself from camera feeds, allowing him to slip past enemies unseen. Counter Intel warfare goes nicely as the opposite of Dokkaebi for the technological hacker duo. Vigil is a 1/3 Armour and a 3/3 Speed Defender much like Caveira.

Year 3 has been confirmed for next year with Season 1 Chimera planning a new French and Russian Operator for a Bio Terrorism Outbreak event. Ubisoft wishes to eventually have 100 operators in the game they are certainly heading there at this rate. All 3 Operators will be added to Rainbow Six Siege with the next season, complete with the new sky rise map Mok Myeok Tower.
