What did Y9S1 Operation Deadly Omen bring to Rainbow Six Siege?

One of the most interesting additions Ubisoft has made in Operation Deadly Omen is the attacker Deimos, an excellent roam-clearing operative with an interesting gadget. The flying probe can seek out any defender marked by the attackers and will appear on Deimos' visor. You can then send your flies to hunt them down; however, while hunting them, you can only use Deimos' secondary pistol, the .44 Vendetta.

This is an interesting balancing decision made by the developers, which stops Deimos from becoming too powerful and forces him to rely more on his teammates.

With the first season of Year 9 here, you will also bid farewell to the beloved 1.5x scopes, as Operators can only choose between the 1x and other magnification scopes, including the 3.5x scope. The long-awaited Shield rework is also here, allowing you to play Fuze (with ballistic shield), Montagne, and Blitz more tactically as they gain the ability to use free look and reload behind their shield.
