Operation Black Ice is the first batch of free DLC released for Rainbow Six Siege. This content includes two new operators (early access to Season Pass holders), new weapon skins, a new spectator camera, and the new Yacht map (available now to everyone). All of this is free, save for the time locked Season Pass content.

First up are the two new JTF-2 operators. These two are available right now for Season Pass owners or on February 9 for non-Season Pass owners.

A new map places you on yacht that has crashed into an iceberg in the Baffin Bay. This map is free to everyone right now. Also available right now are the new weapon skins that can be purchased with either Renown or R6 Credits. The new spectator camera is also available now for all platforms, allowing an 11th person to join a server and watch a match in progress.

This is all in addition to new balancing tweaks, playlist changes, and more. The full list of new additions and changes can be found at the Rainbow Six website. The general update changelog can be found below.
