[@saifullahhabid1133]

Nighthaven = private military Wolf guard = humanitarian aid Ghost eyes = covert ops Viperstrike = adaptability and versatility Red hammer = AAAAAAAHHHHH

I’m surprised that Fuze is still with rainbow knowing how he complained about civilians and being careful so I thought he would join nighthaven and with the comic with him and Khalil really shows that he has loyalty to his team

[@memecliparchives2254]

So so. Its shocking that IQ was among the ones who left.

@@WhatIsTheHeat yeah that was a decent while ago, it was a nighthaven collection. Alibi, Fuze, IQ, Jackal, Mute and Rook got nighthaven themed skins, based on the description seemed like a "hey you got cool toys can i play with them" kinda idea. and then in at least one battle pass we were getting nighthaven themed stuff too, and idk what all operators got stuff off the top of my head, but one i remember is echo so non-NH folks were getting stuff. i think that was multiple seasons, i figured everyone was just getting NH gear, but they probably didnt get through everyone I assume.

[@doctorbognor]

Kapkan should've been on GhostEyes, he's the definition of hiding in the shadows and letting his technology do the talking, at least in the lore, anyway. When someone says the word "Rat", Kapkan pops into mind, I'm sure he's next to it in the dictionary, too - so I'm disappointed but intrigued to learn more behind Ubisoft's reasoning for this squad assignment, especially considering the fact that RedHammer is supposed to be about brute force, yet Kapkan is about patience, precision and causing people to have to "watch where they step", so to speak. Anyone else realised this, or am I thinking too much into it?

[@redalalm8006]

i agree but i think their intention is more like kapkan has no regards for human lives, his gadget is brutal, injecting people with explosif nails is kinda too much, so they put him in the gunz blazing category

[@manike2132]

your thinking makes sense and I agree tbh but what Reda Lalm said also makes sense

[@D_Benji]

Im suprised bandit isnt in ghosteyes, he went undercover for multiple years in drug dealing and joining hells angels for spywork

[@Ghost-leader]

Cuz it literally ruined his life

[@baka030hydroid]

Lion is in Wolfguard because he is very humanitarian and wants to save lives, he's just better at accepting when there is no other option. With him and Doc to contrast each other, they can get any clean job done well

[@hotwax5623]

I absolutely love what ubisoft is doing with the story...the squads is such a nice touch to these ops we know and love!

[@darklombax2580]

I like that they are all part of rainbow and still interact with the others but they are now separate groups

[@mrautismo420]

Groups serve no purpose whatsoever, ubisoft is trying to make a super lazy explanation to why operators are split defense and offense in first place

[@alexanderargandaru]

The moment I saw Wolfguard, I already knew Lion gonna be there. Lion lore pretty sad but one of the most heartwarming story. He become elite force and build that drone just for his son, so he can be the best father for him. No wonder his life mission is for humanitarian task

[@gh0stly555]

Didn't Twitch make the drone for him in lore? And didn't he join the force to reconcile for his mistakes and to find a meaning in his life?

[@arielle9933]

I'm so glad that they're finally building on siege's lore more consistently now. It feels like they're actually trying to make the storyline make sense and I kind of hope the White Masks make another appearance later on because it seems so silly to just outright get rid of them. I'm a really big fan of the (admittedly still small amount of) lore in r6 and I really appreciate the videos you make! Thanks so much for updating us and putting all the new info out there easily.

[@MTFOperator]

Same here, I think they’ve forgotten the threat the white masks posed after nighthaven became known to them so I imagine their dedication to stop might haven will give the white masks enough time to prepare a all out assault at major city’s or locations and they may even work (somewhat) with nighthaven but eventually betray them for their own personal gain

[@arielle9933]

@@JarSpiral LMFAO true

[@electricfeverx976]

Seeing as how Deimos is a thing now, it seems we'll get the inverse and face the Black Mask instead along with his army of mercenary goons.

[@sweetbrown89]

While Viperstrike is considered a flex / versatile/ support unit, there seems to be a heavy focus on technology skilled operators They also interestingly seem to have an almost defensive positioning focus, with good area control This kinda highlights the 4 Rainbow squads into the Medic-Recon-Engineer-Assault quaternity seen in a lot of class-based shooters

[@Unsaid86]

Your forgetting the first squad to ever exist in rainbow, the og’s that only consist of 5 or 10 members and that’s the recruit squad, they are so op that they were kicked out of the competition because they would wipe the floor in matters of seconds. In all seriousness though I wish recruit had lore something about them is intriguing.

I find it dumb that cav leads Ghosteyes instead of Sam Fisher. Sam is a great leader and does everything Cav does (lore wise) but better. He has years of experience in this stuff.

[@angpham941]

He fits into the role of a mentor like how Kaid has his voice in Redhammer despite Thermite is the team leader (about Fenrir's introduction)

[@J7T800]

He's on his way out. Caveira is new blood and has the potential to be even better. Sometimes, you just have to step back and let the kids learn by themselves.

[@jaggwithswagg8304]

@@J7T800 He’s still one of if not the most skilled operative in Rainbow. Whoever has the most experience and skill should be the one leading the squad. In Ghosteyes’ case it’s Sam. You’re right, Cav is a prodigy, but Sam should still be leading them for now. After he inevitably retires or dies Cav can take the lead. He’s even the one in charge of training new Rainbow operatives and he’s the most trusted. Right now he’s easily the most fit for the job.

[@xyiux]

Cav in canon hates everybody but twitch

[@jacobwhelan45]

The lore is a great touch to the game but I wish they’d do something with these 5 squads. The game feels stuck in its place and these squads could bring additional content to the series but I’m sure it’ll add nothing more than a few cosmetics

[@Starcraftgamer97]

I was hoping that the inclusion of these squads would have made for permanent, PVE story mode additions or DLC but I guess that was asking too much.

[@jacobwhelan45]

@@Starcraftgamer97 asking way too much. They can barely push 4 operators per year out. 1 new map and one rework and no other real no content to go with any of it. No chance we will see anything that intricate

[@king_fisherXX]

Honestly, I feel like Zofia would fit more in Redhammer since her ability is to concuss enemies with her launcher. I don't really see the covert operation in her, but more of the push on-site while they are concussed. She could also be in Wolfguard since her equipment is safe in a hostage situation.

[@fishymcnuggets6716]

Doc being leader is ironic, “sometimes you gotta take a life to save one”

[@samcrdx8016]

Redhammer has 3 Spetsnaz operatives, I bet they specialize in hostage rescue scenarios.

[@gantzuka]

Well this squad based brings a new RB6 Pve game when the team member chose base of the scenario situation. Like if the situation isn't too bad Wolfgurad is called in to tackle the situation. But if it's an intel or a takedown scinareo Ghosteyes is on deck. And the scenarios are all random and procedurally generated

Brava is the new operator. She has a drone that can hack into electronic devices and steal them. For example, she can hack a Kapkan wall denial device and have it explode when a defender runs through the doorway. She needs to be within 10m of her drone and she needs to keep the beam on the device for 3 seconds

Considering the Rainbow Operators who have left the team to join Nighthaven, I'm surprised their in-game character bios haven't been updated to include this.

[@ajaycease6542]

So the statement on lion not minding collateral damage compared to doc is not likely. I pit it up to lions CBRN mindset of containing an outbreak before it spreads to the larger population, limiting casualties which is what he did. Docs medical humanitarian mindset has the double edge sword of wanting to save everyone but is willing to take unnecessary risk. Also doc lost a close friend due to lions decision. So I say lion is and always was a humanitarian like doc, but due to circumstances he had to make hard calls that follow him, and he was right.
