Rainbow Six North Star battle pass details: all rewards & challenges
UbisoftRainbow Six Operation North Star is now live, and that means now is the time to start grinding the new battle pass. With over 100 tiers of rewards and the chance to unlock the new Operator, Thunderbird, here’s what you need to know.
Rainbow Six Year 6 is blazing by, with Operation Crimson Heist now being replaced by Operation North Star.
Revealed at Six Invitational 2021, the new update features the Favela map rework, Nakoda nation defender Thunderbird, and plenty of operator changes.
However, to top it all off, there’s a new battle pass that is ready for you to grind. With over 100 tiers of rewards, it’s even bigger than season’s past. Plus, if you want to get your hands on Thunderbird early, you’ll have to look into it.
How much does the North Star battle pass cost?
Like every other Siege battle pass, there’s two tiers for the North Star one. You can go with either the free track or the premium track.
The free track is exactly as it’s described — totally free. However, you only get access to a limited number of rewards, including a handful of Alpha packs, headgears, uniforms, weapon skins, and charms.
The Premium track will set you back 1200 R6 Credits, but comes with plenty of benefits. If you buy the Premium track, you’ll get early access to Thunderbird, and all of the goodies that come with the battle pass.
This includes skins for Valkyrie, Maestro, Frost, IQ, Ela, Thermite, Jackal, Thunderbird, Buck, Iana, Flores, Tachanka, Oryx, Kapkan, Bandit, Thatcher, Nomad, and Nokk. There’s also bonus R6 Credits, packs, and more to grab too.
UbisoftHow many tiers are in the North Star battle pass?
Well, unlike previous battle passes, the thing with the North Star one is that there’s an infinite number of tiers. Yes, the progression won’t stop when you hit Level 100.
While the base rewards do end up finishing at Tier 100, you can unlock Alpha packs for every five tiers you complete beyond that. That means you’ll still be rewarded at Tier 105, 110, 115, 120, and beyond.
