Rainbow Six Quarantine Leak Reveals Technical Test, Crossplay, and More
Ubisoft has continued to remain largely silent on
Rainbow Six Quarantine in 2021, but some movements behind the scenes have made it seem as though that silence is about to end. This trend has continued once again within the past few days as another major development with the game has now come about that not only tells us that a new demo of sorts is on the horizon, but also reveals a litany of new details about the shooter.

However, according to one dataminer, the next upcoming map rework will be Border and not Bank. The source of the reported leak, benjaminstrike, accurately revealed the operation name of Y6S1 as Crimson Heist back in December 2020 which adds some veracity to this claim.
In addition, they’ve shared some details on the next Rainbow Six Siege Operator. According to benjaminstrike, this newcomer is an Argentinian agent named Flores who doesn’t belong to an CTU. Although we don’t know his weapon loadout, the leak suggests that Flores is an attacker who wields a gadget known as the RCE-Ratero, “ratero” being Spanish for pickpocket. This drone can be deployed and then subsequently detonated with an additional press of the ga
