Coastline map for "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" features the new "Two-Layer Destruction" system and according to Ubisoft, it will be present in all future maps.

The system is made up of the usual set-up, with an Attacker and a Defender. The Attacker is called Jackal who uses a gadget mounted on his head with an ability to see enemy footprints on the ground. The Defender is called Mira and is capable of installing a bulletproof window in walls, and even through reinforced ones.
