One more thing is her V10 Pantheon Shells cannot use Healing gadgets as they are made of metals. However, if one of them is killed, the other will have full HP as they have separate HP.
She also has a new primary weapon which is good for long range as well. However, she has only one Primary and Secondary weapon to choose from but she has two bodies which makes her very powerful. Here is Scopos complete loadout for Defender.
- Primary Weapon: PCX-33 New Assault Rifle

All Operator Buffs and Nerfs
Dokkaebi is getting Nerf and Nokk is getting a Buff in the new Operation Twin Shell. Here are complete patch notes for changes coming to both Operators.
Dokkaebi Nerf
Dokkaebi is one of the most powerful attackers in R6 Siege. She is finally getting a Nerf, as she is highly picked in Rank matches. Also, She will be receiving an increased reset on her Logic Bomb to 45 seconds. She will not be able to use it instantly at the start of the round to do an early rush.
- Initial Charges: 0
- Logic Bomb delay: 45 Seconds
- Max Charges: 2
Nokk Buff
Nokk has been a very overlooked operator since its launch but she is finally getting a buff in Twin Shells. She is a stealth operator, now with new rework and buff she will only drain her Hel Presence when running or shooting. However, walking slowly and crouching won’t drain her ability. So, she can stay hidden from cameras and walk silently which is intended for Stealth operators.
However, the recharge time for Hel Presence is increasing so, there will be a balance to the operator in ranked matches.
- Hel Presence: 10 seconds
- Recharge time: 120 seconds
- Hel Presence Activation: 20%
You will be able to try out Skopos with Operation Twin Shells on September 10 with Y9S3 update. The update will be available on both PC and Consoles after the downtime.
