The highly-anticipated release of Rainbow Six Siege’s Year 8 Season 3 Operation Heavy Mettle is today, and Ubisoft has finally revealed the release times and patch sizes of the new seasonal content.

Siege’s Y8S3 Operation Heavy Mettle is bringing a new operator Ram, who has a unique drone that can obliterate any soft floors and barricades in its path. Ram is a 1-Speed 3-Health Attacker, and she is the second operator in Siege to be equipped with the R4-C rifle.

However, not only that, the Y8S3 patch is bringing the massive Playlist Changse, a new Commendation system, operator balancing, and more.
