Rainbow Six Siege is striving to reclaim its former glory. The tactical shooter developed by Ubisoft, known for its dedicated but niche competitive scene, continues to explore new ways to attract a broader audience. One of the most effective strategies to achieve this is through high-profile collaborations.
In the gaming industry, crossovers have become a powerful tool to engage players. Titles like Fortnite frequently introduce new partnerships with anime, TV shows, and iconic characters. Similarly, Call of Duty: Warzone leverages collaborations to appeal to a mature audience.
Rainbow Six Siege Follows Warzone’s Footsteps
Ubisoft has previously introduced collaborations, but its latest partnership is one that few could have predicted. Rainbow Six Siege has officially teamed up with The Boys, Amazon Prime Video’s hit superhero series.
A teaser trailer released on social media confirmed that Homelander and Black Noir are now available in the game as purchasable operator skins.
How Much Do the Homelander and Black Noir Skins Cost?
As expected, these exclusive skins are premium content and can be purchased individually or as a bundle:
- Individual character price: 2,160 R6 Credits
- Bundle price (both characters): 4,080 R6 Credits
Players who own the Premium Battle Pass will receive a 10% discount, making the costs:
- 1,944 R6 Credits per character
- 3,672 R6 Credits for both characters
Which Operators Get The Boys Skins?
Homelander – Ace Operator Skin
Homelander’s iconic and menacing presence has been adapted for Ace, an operator known for his aggressive playstyle. The skin features Ace dressed as Homelander, wielding an AK-12, and sporting a blood-stained face, a signature look from The Boys.

Homelander’s Presence in Other Games
As The Boys’ main antagonist and most recognizable character, Homelander has appeared in multiple games beyond Rainbow Six Siege:
- Call of Duty: Warzone – Activision introduced Homelander as part of a special crossover event.
- Mortal Kombat 1 – Warner Bros. included him as a DLC character, further cementing his place in gaming culture.
Ubisoft’s latest crossover with The Boys is a bold step in keeping Rainbow Six Siege relevant. By adding Homelander and Black Noir, the game embraces a growing trend in the gaming industry where iconic TV characters enhance player engagement. Whether this strategy will revive interest in Rainbow Six Siege remains to be seen, but for now, fans of The Boys can enjoy playing as their favorite antiheroes.
