Seven months after Rainbow Six Mobile revealed Ubisoft's decision to pause the release of more content, Rainbow Six Mobile's Soft Launch stage is finally back with a group of new features that could transform the title.
The first phase of Rainbow Six Mobile's Soft Launch will be Operation Ice Storm, which will include the release of the Rainbow Six Siege operator Buck, new cosmetics, a premium battle pass, a new map called Restaurant, and much more.
However, among all of these new features, fans have been surprised by Ubisoft after the team came up with a cool concept to deal with duplicate cosmetics.
Getting duplicated items is always boring, right? Well, some players could be celebrating getting them in Rainbow Six Mobile as duplicated cosmetics will be used to unlock the Dark Crystal skin.
Here's everything you need to know about the Dark Crystal skin and Rainbow Six Mobile's Obsidian system:
What's Obsidian in Rainbow Six Mobile?
In Operation Ice Storm, Rainbow Six Mobile will see the introduction of Obsidian. According to Ubisoft, Obsidian is "a new exclusive in-game resource which is automatically granted to players who get duplicates when opening a cosmetic pack."
In other words, Rainbow Six Mobile players will get Obsidian every time they get a duplicated cosmetic from a pack. But, how does Obsidian work?
Well, when players have enough Obsidian, they will be able to use it to unlock the Dark Crystal skin.
When a player has enough Obsidian, they can spend it in the Forge to unlock exclusive cosmetics from a special collection in the shop, such as the Dark Crystal skin.
Additionally, players will be able to get Obsidian as a "daily reward." Keep in mind that Obsidian doesn't expire and it "carries over from season to season."
Dark Crystal in Rainbow Six Mobile
Dark Crystal is a skin that has never been released in Rainbow Six Siege, so it's difficult to describe it with only one picture of it.
While this skin will only be unlockable through the Obsidian system, we expect it to be pretty exclusive. By the looks of it, the skin reminds us of one of the most exclusive skins in Rainbow Six Siege, the Glacier Skin. Therefore, we would say this is its equivalent in Rainbow Six Mobile.
How to unlock Rainbow Six Mobile's Dark Crystal?
Unfortunately, Ubisoft has yet to unveil how much Obsidian will it take to unlock Rainbow Six Mobile's Dark Crystal. We also don't know if the Dark Crystal skin will be a universal cosmetic.
