‘Kept you waiting, huh?’ Not really, but Solid Snake is sneaking into Rainbow Six soon, for some reason

I haven’t played Rainbow Six Siege in quite some time, but I may have to, considering an all-time gaming icon is set to join the roster.

An official collab between Ubisoft and Konami will bring Metal Gear Solid’s Solid Snake into the fold as a playable operator in Rainbow Six Siege for season one of year 11. And I’m very happy about this, because it’s Solid Snake and not Big Boss, for once.

In the teaser trailer for the new operator, Splinter Cell’s Sam Fisher (already in the game as a character named Zero) contacts Snake on his Codec, iconic sound effects and all. So yeah, this is legit, even if I’m not a player of the game.

My personal experience with R6 Siege is minimal. I played it for a very short time on PS4 many years ago. I also had no idea that Sam Fisher was in the game, or that there were “guest” characters like this a tall, but it’s hard not to get excited, especially for Snake.

This mark’s just one of several recent MGS collabs in recent years, including Solid Snake and Raiden appearing in Fortnite back in 2024, and Delta Force featuring the iconic David Hayter as the voice for Naked Snake as an appearance option for an existing character.

Solid Snake being back in the spotlight in this way also does make me feel like Konami may be cooking something up for MGS1. The game’s 30th anniversary is coming in two years, and I’d say it’s highly probable that we could see a remake in the same vein as last year’s Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

Ubisoft says the full reveal of Solid Snake is coming in a few weeks on Feb. 15, so I will be tuned in to see what it’s all about. If Snake’s character kit doesn’t include some kind of cardboard box, I will be none too pleased.

The need for Magnetic Accelerators have certainly increased a level or two ever since the Trophy Display project went live in ARC Raiders.

The new project, part of the Headwinds update, requires you to complete five different stages of tasks to get some amazing rewards. Let’s look at how you can find this Epic item from your grind in the wasteland.

Best locations for Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

Like every crafting material in ARC Raiders, there’s no definite location for the Magnetic Accelerators. However, it’s an Epic-tier loot. While Epic-tier loot can spawn anywhere, you’re expected to find it more in red-colored zones on every map.

One of my favorite locations is the Village POI in Blue Gate. This location has a locked room, and I have received at least three Magnetic Accelerators in the past, and one since the Headwinds update went live. Their exact location inside the locked room is different, so you’ll want to go through every bit of the container.

Another strange, but great spot, appears to be the room right by the elevator at the Testing Annex location on Dam Battlegrounds. This room has three lootable containers, and I have found three Magnetic Accelerators from this room. It’s usually unlocked, but expect to find ARCs since there’s a nearby elevator.

As the Magnetic Accelerator is an Epic-tier loot, you can also play on the maps when the following modifiers are active.

• Harvester
• Matriarch
• Electromagnetic Storm

Playing the Night Raids will also raise your chances of finding a Magnetic Accelerator. However, there will be more hazards that you need to watch out for on your raids.

How to craft Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

If your luck is poor, you can directly craft Magnetic Accelerators. You’ll need a level 3 Refiner for that. Reaching this point is going to take time (especially if you’re a beginner).

Once you have a level 3 Refiner, you’ll going to need the following materials.

• Two Advanced Mechanical Components
• Two ARC Motion Cores

How to use Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

You’re going to need at least 10 Magnetic Accelerators to submit to the Trophy Display project. You’ll need them to complete stage 4 of the project. Doing so will get you five Wolfpack grenades, which are immensely useful. You’re also going to come one step closer to finishing the whole project and unlocking the completionist rewards.
