Players will also learn more about Caveira, her troubled past, and just what has happened in this special challenge mission where players can play solo or with up to four other players as you move across the province of the Caimanes. Upon completing Operation Archangel before August 14, 2018, players will be rewarded with Caveira’s gloves. When equipped, players will be able to perform her iconic CQCC move and unlock the position of all nearby enemies.

In addition to completing the mission, players can also further customize their ghosts with the Rainbow Six Gear Pack, which includes new customization items such as Caveira’s iconic Luison handgun, a fully customizable HK 416 assault rifle, a head-wrapped shemagh inspired by Valkyrie and a skull balaclava inspired by Twitch. Special Operation 2 will also bring in two new Ghost War PvP classes, Toxic and Surgeon, both of which are inspired by Rainbow Six Siege characters Doc and Smoke. Toxic uses his drone to deploy a large cloud of toxic smoke, which allows players to trap the enemy team into specified locations while also creating objective denials for his team.
