At the Six Invitational Grand Final details on Year 4 Season 1: Burnt Horizon has been revealed. We will see the introduction of an attacker, Gridlock, and defender, Mozzie, both from Australia.

First of all, Burnt Horizon will see the addition of Gridlock. A three-armour female attacker who can deploy ‘Trax Stingers’. The gadget will multiply upon deployment which will then damage and slow any opponent that walks on them. These traps can be destroyed simply with a single shot, by throwing a grenade or with a melee attack. Alternatively, defenders can shoot the original trap deployed which will stop more clusters spawning.

She will have the choice between the F90 assault rifle or the M249 LMG. In gameplay footage shown, it appears that the LMG has a unique ACOG scope that we haven’t seen in Rainbow 6 before. As for secondary weapons, she has the choice between the SDP 9mm pistol and the Super Shorty shotgun. Finally, the two secondary gadgets that Gridlock will have the choice between are smokes and breach charges. The latter was confirmed for a rework coming up this year.

The second of the Australian operators is Mozzie. The two-speed male attacker is equipped with the handy ‘Pest Launcher’. Which when used correctly will hack attacker drones, adding it to Mozzies fleet. Once he has hacked a drone Mozzie will have full control of its movements and will join the defender camera feed.

He will have the choice of walking into battle with the P10 RONI automatic pistol or the Command 9 assault rifle. He will have the same choice of secondaries as Gridlock. Another similarity with Gridlock, gameplay that was shown suggests that he has a slightly different holographic sigh. Conversely, this could mean that the holographic sight is getting a slight revamp for all operators. He will also have the choice between barbed wire or a nitro cell.

Burnt Horizon will be available February 18 on test servers.
