Ubisoft officially confirmed Master Chief as a new Elite skin forRainbow Six Siege’s mascot Sledge in a crossover trailer. Sledge is seen wearing armor inspired by Master Chief’sHalo Infiniteuniform, including the Spartan-117 headgear, and he can be seen wielding his iconic breaching hammer, which is skinned to look like a Banished Gravity Hammer. Other weapon skins are confirmed for Sledge’s primary M590A1 shotgun and L825A2 assault rifle, as well as for his secondary P226 MK25 pistol. Along with the character and weapon skins, Ubisoft has also designed new Operator cards, a victory celebration, and a Cortana Chibi charm for the Master Chief Sledge Elite bundle. The full Elite set is available for purchase now in the in-game store, with all items purchasable with R6 credits.
This latest crossover is among many bigupdates toRainbow Six Siege. Previously, the game added Sam Fisher from fellow Ubisoft franchiseSplinter Cell. While Fisher was fully added as a new operator, named Zero, the Master Chief addition is limited to an Elite skin and supplementary content. Sledge remains one of the most popular Operator picks for both ranked and esports players, so fans ofHalocan look forward to the potential of Master Chief popping up in competitive play. This unique crossover offers a fun opportunity for bothHaloandRainbow Six Siegeplayers and perhaps hints at Ubisoft adding more skins in the future.
Though unexpected, the Master Chief Sledge Elite skin and related additions come as a welcome update toRainbow Six Siege. BothHaloandRainbow Six Siegeare considered to be among thebest tactical shooters of all time, so it makes sense for the two to crossover with their mascots.Rainbow Six Siegecontinues to add more updates, including map reworks and weapon buffs, so new and returning fans of the franchise have fresh content to look forward to.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siegeis available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
