Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is hosting a limited time in-game seasonal event, starting today - May 4 - and running until May 18, 2021, on all major platforms.
During the event, entitled Apocalypse, you'll be able to unlock both free and purchasable cosmetics. As soon as you log into the game during the event, you'll receive a pack containing some of the 35 Apocalypse Collection items to get you started.
Set in a version of the Outback map, Apocalypse will see players fighting for possession of the very last plant left on Earth. Society as we knew it has long-since collapsed thanks to a nuclear energy disaster which occurred a century prior. This little plant represents the last vestige of hope within an otherwise arid and desolate world, especially because its radioactive soil holds the capacity for the growth of more precious vegetation.
Two prominent clans have risen up in hopes of claiming this plant, and in turn the power to re-grow life on the planet after 100 years of harsh worldwide aridity. You can join either clan, which are the following:
- The Keepers, led by the spiritual Seer. They are driven by hope that humanity can start over, better than ever before. The other members of the clan are Maestro, Melusi, Rook, Smoke, and Valkyrie.
- The Warband, comprising nomadic scavengers led by the General. Fellow clan members are Fuze, Gridlock, Maverick, Nomad, and Twitch.
