Operation Deep Freeze sees new Defender Tubarão keep the competition hot. He stays cool-headed with his Zoto Canister gadget, which releases a freezing compound that will impair Operators movement and any other gadgets in its area of effect. Due to the “cold zone” left behind, any Operator footprints passing the area will be recorded. This gadget can disrupt both enemy and friendly gadgets, but with strategic placement, offers players an opportunity to regain control of a round. Tubarão is a two speed and two health Operator, with a loadout featuring an MPX or AR-15.50 as his primary weapon and a P226 MK 25 as his secondary weapon.

Get instant access to Tubarão and other rewards with the Deep Freeze Battle Pass including: a Bravo ticket, 18 Bravo packs, Operator and weapon skins, and 600 R6 credits back. If you are short on credits, look no further than the Premier or Signature packs for the best deal on R6 credits.
