Bullets Fly Amongst the Sand in the Arknights x Rainbow Six: Siege Crossover Event.
Hello everyone, today we’re looking at a crossover event for Arknights and Rainbow: Six Siege, called Operation Originium Dust. There’s a good amount of goodies entailing this event, so let’s get to it!
The event will be running from August 18th to September 8th, and will require the completion of main storyline mission 1-10.

There will be an event shop where you can exchange event currency called Rhodes Island Supply Ration Coupons for any event rewards. There’ll be a list of things you can get from the store, from Headhunting Permits and LMD to Special Equipment Exhibition Room furniture and some of Tachanka’s tokens.
This event will feature four unique Operators from Rainbow Six Siege: Tachanka (5-Star), Ash (6-Star), Blitz (5-Star), and Frost (5-Star), with Tachanka being given out to those that complete the corresponding mission in the event. Ash, Blitz, and Frost will be featured in the Headhunting Banner called “Attack, Defense, Tactical Collide,” open from August 18th to September 1st. The login event for this event will be giving out an Expert Headhunting Permit, allowing a free 10-pull.

A new environmental mechanic will be introduced in the form of sandstorms that reduce ATK, increase deployment time, and do damage over time, but dirt Mounds can block these sandstorms.
Lastly, there’s a new co-op-based mode called Multivariate Cooperation, where you can also earn some of the event currency while participating with other players.
The Arknights x Rainbow: Six Siege crossover event is shaping up to be stellar, and it’s an exciting change of pace seeing something as realistic in style as Siege going anime style, and they certainly do not disappoint.
