Those submaps are linked by airlocks, so once you've completed the objective on the first submap, you can choose to continue on to the next, where the challenge and rewards will ramp up, or extract your team. Each map is made up of three "submaps," each with its own objective. Resources and health pick-ups are shared between teammates, and while you can replenish health if you get hurt, it doesn't last forever, so moving carefully and working together is essential to making it all the way through a mission.
In each session, you and as many as two other players choose your operatives (which you can't double up) and head into the mission. Those objectives are randomized on a map, and the maps themselves will shift between sessions-so while you'll see certain facilities and locations more than once, how you approach them and what you have to do on them can change. Weapons and gadgets have been tweaked to be more useful in the alien setting, and your goal in each mission is to use stealth and team tactics to destroy aliens and avoid being overwhelmed as you seek objectives. Here, though, the focus isn't on fighting another team, but sneaking into alien-infested combat zones in hopes of gathering information and samples about the threat and escaping with it hence, the Extraction name.

PlatformsĪlong with the release date, we also know what platforms to expect Extraction on. Still, Extraction is looking to be a separate experience from Siege, and while they carry similarities, Extraction is looking to occupy a different niche from its PvP counterpart. The game borrows heavily from Rainbow Six: Siege, imagining a world set a few years into the future from that game and bringing along many of its operator characters, gadgets, abilities, and weapons. Rainbow Six: Extraction is coming in hot-it'll launch on Sept.
