Lastly, a handful of operators have received new voice actors. The new elite set will be available to purchase with R6 Credits once operation Shifting Tides launches.

In the latest addition to the elite lineup, the BOPE attacker receives a unique outfit, MVP animation, a gadget skin, and weapon skins for his entire loadout. Additionally, the gas cloud produced is fully transparent, and will provide full line of sight.

Smoke’s Remote Gas has been changed to prevent it damaging operators through walls. Different weapons have different penetration values, so weapons like the BOSG and TSCG12 can take down multiple targets with one bullet. Now, most bullets that hit arms and hands will penetrate to hit more “valuable” body parts. Prior to Shifting Tides, lack of limb penetration resulted in odd scenarios, such as hands blocking headshots.
