Rainbow Six Operation Crimson Heist is here, and that means another exciting battle pass has gone live. Here’s everything we know, including all the rewards and missions.

A new chapter of Rainbow Six: Siege is about to begin in Year 6. Operation Crimson Heist has players excited about new operator Flores, the Border map rework, match replay, and more. 

However, they also can’t wait to get their hands on the new battle pass. It’s jam-packed with content, including all kinds of amazing rewards and missions. Here’s what you need to know.

How much does the Crimson Heist battle pass cost?

Ubisoft have changed up Rainbow Six battle passes starting in Operation Crimson Heist.

Year passes are gone, with operator unlocks being rolled into buying the Premium Battle Pass if you don’t want to wait two weeks. There’s also no more discounts for pass holders.

There are two tracks to the Crimson Heist battle pass. The free track is just that — free. It comes with limited rewards, but you can still get some good headgears and uniforms.

The premium battle pass is where the value is at. For 1200 R6 Credits, you can unlock Flores early and get access to over 100 tiers of rewards. If you’re going to grind out Operation Crimson Heist, you’ll want to buy the battle pass.

The Rainbow Six Crimson Heist battle pass will be split into two – the free track and the premium track. It will introduce 100 tiers worth of content, which is even bigger than last season’s battle pass.

Players can expect all kinds of new operator skins, weapon skins, charms, and other bits and pieces. 

Iana, Lesion, Blackbeard, Wamai, Aruni, Alibi, Kaid, Ace, Bandit, Goyo, Bandit, Nomad, Pulse, Caveira, Zero, Amaru, Finka, Castle, and Flores are all getting new uniforms and headgears.
