Lesion’s loadout comprises of the same SIX12 shotgun as Ying, however he gets the T-5 SMG instead of an LMG. He’s ideal for stopping rushes and slowing down pushes towards the objective – Gu will give operators like Blitz and Montagne a particularly hard time. Seven sounds like a lot, but Lesion’s Gu mines replenish over time, meaning you’ll only be able to place seven if you’re alive for the duration of the round. So what do they do? Gu mines fire toxic darts when triggered, causing anyone hit by one to take gradual damage and move more slowly until they stop and remove the dart via a short animation. This shorts-wearing trapper carries seven Gu mines, which once placed become almost invisible thanks to some neat cloaking tech. On defence for the Hong Kong SDU is Lesion. The LMG is actually more similar to an assault rifle than other LMGs in the game, whereas the shotgun is a terrifying compact 12-gauge revolver shotgun with a good bit of range – a devastating room-clearer to compliment her breaching gadget. The rest of Ying’s loadout is fairly typical – she can bring either the T-95 LSW LMG or SIX12 shotgun into battle with her. Ying only carries three Candela charges, so use them wisely. Candela charges can also be thrown like a grenade, and if you want to use the timer function, rolled into a room. Ying also benefits from being immune to her own flash charges, allowing you to charge in as the Candela is going off, maximising its effectiveness.Īnother interesting quirk of the Candela is that it has a timer with three settings that the player can select before anchoring, which means more scope for coordinated assaults. However, unlike Fuze, Ying’s gadget is totally non-lethal – instead of blowing the hostage to kingdom come, the Candela will produce a series of dazzling flash charges that should blind anyone in the the room. Her gadget, three Candela flash charges, function much like Fuze’s Cluster Charge in that they can be anchored onto a wall and fired into the adjacent room.

Ying is the attacker operator from the Hong Kong Special Duties Unit. Ying and Lesion are the official names of the two forthcoming SDU operators, but what gadgets and loadouts do they bring to the table, and where will they fit into Rainbow Six Siege’s constantly expanding meta? There’s also one Rainbow Six Siege Polish operator, Ela, to look at as part of Blood Orchid – we’ve got all the information on her gadget and loadout, too. Thanks to some datamining, we’ve known what to expect from both Rainbow Six Siege Hong Kong operators since April.
