Ubisoft officially revealed the new Rainbow Six Siege Bandit Elite skin this morning. Bandit is the last GSG9 operator to receive an Elite skin.
Donning a flurry of tattoos and attitude, Bandit’s Elite is a callback to his days as an undercover operative who infiltrated a biker gang. Fans will recognize this callback from his official bio and operator introduction video where Bandit famously says “I had to deal drugs,” which also provided fantastic memes.
Bandit's Elite set is now available. Unlocks the Axle 13 uniform, victory animation, gadget skin for his CED Shock Wire and weapon skin for the MP7, M870, and P12 as well as the Elite Bandit Chibi charm.

The existence of Bandit’s Elite skin has been known for some time now, with leaks tracing back to mid-March. While those leaks were convincing, fans can now rest assured that the Bandit Elite is riding in hot and is available to purchase with R6 Credits today.
The bundle comes with all of the usual Elite skin items. Players will have access to an exclusive weapon skin, gadget skin, chibi, and operator specific victory pose.
Fans might get a chance to see the skin in action during the official broadcast of the Milan finals on May 18 and 19.
