In the coming year, Rainbow Six Siege is set to receive four expansions, each of which will add one new map and two operators. Each new operator will come equipped with new primary and secondary weapons, as well as its own unique gadget.Ubisoft outlined its plans for 2016 in a handy infographic on its official blog . Check out the game's "Year One Roadmap" below.As previously announced, all future maps and modes will be available as free DLC , but players will need to use "Renown" to unlock new characters and weapon skins, which can be amassed by either playing the game or paying real-world money."Nearly everything you do in Rainbow Six Siege will net you Renown, including winning or losing matches, kills, assists, reviving teammates, playing ranked matches, watching tutorials or completing Daily Challenges," Ubisoft said.In addition, R6 Credits will be available for purchase with real-wolrd money, which can then be used to buy premium weapon skins that can't be attained any other way. Ubisoft notes these are "purely cosmetic" and won't impact the game experience in any way."R6 Credits are an optional premium currency that will be available at launch in packs of 600, 1200, 2670, 4920 or 7560," Ubisoft explained. "A pack of 600 R6 Credits will cost $4.99 USD, with larger bundles offering more Credits per dollar."Rainbow Six Siege will release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on December 1.
