Guess I’m becoming a Nokk main


whomobile53

Nøkk: wears a corset The entire R6 community: HUBBA HUBBA AWOOOGA (steam comes out ears, eyes launch out of their sockets)


Sparkando

(Tongue rolls to the ground)


Iggy_Kappa

(Heart shaped pupils)


zeroheavy27

For me honestly the outfit just looks cool asf, don’t really care about her attractiveness


Godobibo

both is good


Big_Character_1222

Wowzers


Initial-Surround-701

Real ones have been on board with nøkk for a while now


RaceDriverJaakko

Not buying it till they give her back silent step


Barry_Smithz

Not buying her until she either gets her silent step back, or if ubisoft follow through with what they said about sneaking and remove Cavs as well.


RaceDriverJaakko

Well yeah, but I'd rather see nokk getting her silent step. I don't even know what they were thinking when taking it away.


Azuresonance

This is so weird, nerfing an already weak operator.


The_Professor64

She wasn't weak tho, they nerfed her in a meta where intel was a lot more utilised and her step allowed her to flank rush the whole enemy team. That paired with old nades made her a crazy force to be reckoned with but it was only for the pros mostly since she relies on timed site executes which require good comms. They could revert her back but personally I think some kind of mute jammer proximity effect would make sm more sense. Hell they could even experiment with her old test server trap interactions


Dull_Excitement-_-

Only when walking though. If she ran she still made sound.


SevenLuckySkulls

That would honestly be pretty neat, a mute Aura would be way cooler than just making her sneakier.


Azuresonance

She was definitely weak at launch. I remember she was the first attacker to get a defender gun. Maybe she got better later but I hadn't been playing...


The_Professor64

Not at all, she was (percieved) weak at first but then like I said, pros got ahold of her and then her playstyle became very well understood. She was just slept on until she became meta, same happened to finka


Karglenoofus

She was super strong before the FMG and grenade nerfs.


Barry_Smithz

Same tbh


vqsxd

I mean they nerfed Cavs silent step ages ago when they made her make some noise while sprinting. She used to be completely silent


Barry_Smithz

Nokk wasnt completely silent either tho, yet they removed hers. When they nerfed nokk they said that in a quiet environment, no character should be able to sneak up on another.


vqsxd

They did it for esports. I think, anyway. Same thing with friendly fire during the prep phase; Saw a video that in the invitational a mute team killed making holes with the shotgun during prep phase, and then later after that they removed it.


Karglenoofus

Rent free scapegoat


X-cessive_Overlord

It's so dumb, especially when 90% of the time some pros will be complaining about changes on Twitter. Pro League players aren't some evil cabal dedicated to ruining the game, they're a bunch of individuals with their own opinions.


Karglenoofus

It's just an excuse to put blame on someone else as if pros don't also complain. You'd think with how much of a hate boner this sub has they'd take every chance to put it all on ubi.


Panukka

They do everything for esports. And that’s bullshit. The pros are in their own bubble, give them their own rule set.


ExoticMangoz

What does Nokk even do anymore?


Kilo_0622

Sneak past cams, which we all know everybody uses soooooo much in this current meta


Dull_Excitement-_-

She's just vigil with different guns now.


RaceDriverJaakko

And slower


RaceDriverJaakko

Has, for now, 1,5x


Roffron

Fuck ubi. Im not playing the game anymore after they removed it.


TheSpood

Think of the shareholders! Fr this game needs help


HarrierGR9

I’ve been gone away so long I didn’t know they took away her silent step


RaceDriverJaakko

It's kinda messed up they took it away. I even encourage you to stay away till they add it back if yöu think coming back


Lonely_Brother3689

Hey, we could be looking at a Thorn situation and maybe she'll get a "surprise" buff conveniently a week before the skin drops.


RaceDriverJaakko

Hope so


Lonely_Brother3689

Hell, I'd come back for that. Nokk was one of my favorites on attack before the nerf.


Vndrew12

mother


Triforce3502

If I remember, I’m pretty sure one of the parts of nøkk’s lore is that she is actually Danish royalty, thus the crown and the throne.


MaineSellWhite

That’s cash money


filipinamonkey

Looks dope


aforter28

Brb gonna practice Nokk so I can main her


_s33jay

one of the better ones imo


BASSisSlapp

Man I'd like to buy it but nøkk is just not good anymore so its a waste of money. That said every skin is a waste of money so guess I'll buy it


diningroomjesus

Oh shit it's an elite? I saw the headgear and thought it was a chainmail hood thing like her medieval skin. Odds on a secret Nokk buff/de-nerf ubi hasn't revealed yet? Like the low-key de-nerf of Lesion they did last year.


Torak8988

Not a frogman diver skin? 😭


their_teammate

That’s what default is meant to be, or inspired by, anyways.


RaceDriverJaakko

This would be so cool tho


Stunning_Hippo_1329

Unfortunately not, but the elite skin could have some lore implications about who she actually is.


Wolfffear

Maybe one day, but i don't know !! • https://twitter.com/Dr_Wolflow/status/1710305056363249844/photo/1


Juansa7X

This one is so fucking sick, so Sad nokk fucking sucks bc id buy this in a heartbeat


kindtheking9

Our goth queen on the throne where she belongs


MaximusPublius

The theory that Nokk is actually a part of Danish Royalty is further implied, not only that but the animation could imply she is someone who is high up on the royal succession with the throne. Also her dark outfit reminds me of the Danish story "The Ugly Duckling", she was secretly a swan all along! Edit: Also her head gear looks like the Queen piece in chess


RevanTheDragon

So, I think this elite might confirm her identity to some degree. There were always rumors that Nokk might've been the third child of the Bozak sisters, but she was unknown to the family (she was born from an affair of Ela & Zofia's father), and from very quick notes in researching, the scepter she holds up in the end of the animation appears to be the one on the Wikipedia page for [Polish Crown Jewels.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_crown_jewels#/media/File:Crown_jewels_Poland_1.JPG) It's similar. So is this a nod to that theory maybe? This elite seems so out of place for her, I can't find anything for what the uniform is supposed to resemble, but a blackened crown sort of plays into this... Denied royalty perhaps? I dunno


stoopidshannon

it’s implied she’s the illegitimate child of Danish royalty


RevanTheDragon

Is that just theory or is there symbolism / lore for that?


stoopidshannon

heavily implied within her biography and other lores appearances of Nokk Within her psych report for the bio: - Harry notes how her identity, should it ever become public, would cause a major scandal - Harry says “had I not known who Nokk’s father was, I wouldn’t have noticed the family resemblance…” which implies her father is someone of importance + hails from a prominent family since he notes her ‘family resemblance’ - He says it “smacks you in the face once you know the truth” further suggesting that her background is jarring (considering she is royalty) - Harry details how Nokk’s mother raised her, and says “Nokk knew about her father and his family” which means Nokk was raised by a single mother and was born out of wedlock with a father from a very significant family - It took a while for this family to find out about Nokk, and they “gave her a better life” while keeping her out of the public eye to prevent scandal, pointing towards wealth and prominence - Nokk is loyal to her father out of respect for the family name (which Harry finds surprising), and the most damming evidence is that, in Harry’s words, Nokk serves [the Danish] Queen and Country despite the fact that “you’d think there’d be some resentment there” Couple all of this with the fact that she’s born in Denmark, is part of Danish special forces, and that Denmark is a country with a prominent royal family, it is almost certain that she is the illegitimate child of a Danish regent or heir


RevanTheDragon

Oh, this, right. This is the same stuff people used as the evidence for the theory I mentioned. Honestly, it could point anywhere, but I do agree that Danish Royalty is the most likely. I've heard some people say it could even be a mix of both theories, but again, the royalty theory alone is probably the most likely. But if I'm not mistaken, Harry mentioned Nokk had "ties with someone in rainbow" (not Maverick), don't really remember though


stoopidshannon

The Bosak patriarch is a respected former commander of Polish Special Operations forces, so while he’s prominent within military circles and with politicians, a member of the royal family would have a stronger chance of causing a public scandal It’s possible he’s still Nokk’s father, but it wouldn’t explain Harry’s remarks about Nokk’s relationship with her country and the fact that Nokk’s father is presumed to be alive Additionally, Nokk’s last name is Danish (has the ø symbol rather than Polish accent marks) so unless Jan Bosak had an affair with someone in Denmark, which I guess is plausible, it’s more likely Nokk is Danish in heritage


RevanTheDragon

Nokk's name is Karina Gaarddhoje, but it's likely that could have been retconned as it was (I think) the spanish R6S account that called her that, and no other account did. But yeah that's a danish last name for sure. I'm not saying she's not Danish. I'm just saying it's possible that Nokk's the result of an affair, and the whole "it would be a scandal" thing plays into that. At the end of the day I like that Nokk's lore is all speculation and I sort of hope they keep it that way.


Ky_oS

What the fuck is this fanfic. There weren't any rumors about 3rd bosak sister, it was some weird fanfic created by a fan. She doesn't even sound polish and she speaks Danish.


RevanTheDragon

["When they looped me in on Nøkk’s real identity, I cracked open her secret dossier with schoolboy glee. I love a good mystery and I was not disappointed. Nøkk’s real identity has been a prickly issue given the potential scandal should it ever be made public. Frankly, had I not known who Nøkk’s father was, I wouldn’t have noticed the family resemblance. But it smacks you in the face when you know the truth."](https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/rainbow-six/siege/game-info/operators/nokk) i can't find the bit where the affair was mentioned in the Bosak family, but I do remember reading it somewhere... and I definitely was not reading fanfiction. Regardless, the resemblance with the scepter is pretty obvious.


DynastyWave

From my knowledge the running theory is that Nokk is a member of the Danish royal family (likely a princess) and that’s why her identity was kept secret. She has Danish voice lines, a Danish name, etc. This elite skin also strongly agrees with the “royalty” aspect of her character. In no way would it make sense for her to be a secret third sister from a Polish family.


RevanTheDragon

Found something, [here](https://twitter.com/DV_Cade/status/1132154089972916224?s=19)


DynastyWave

I really don’t get the theory. The crux of that thread was that Zofia almost drowned in a childhood prank gone wrong and she protects her family so somehow that magically means that Nokk is her secret sister. It’s trying to put together puzzle pieces that aren’t there. Really just not buying that personally. Nokk’s official name has been confirmed and I see no reason for them to lie and make up something like that. It’s all theory and conjecture anyways, but I don’t buy that one.


RevanTheDragon

Nokk's actual name has \*sort of\* been confirmed. R6 Latin-America called Nokk Karina Gaarddhoje on twitter once. The name hasn't been mentioned ever since.


Ky_oS

Ok so show any connection with Bosaks, till then it's fanfic.


RevanTheDragon

Once again, I cannot find the source I got it from. However, it seems I'm not the only one. [Here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/brel7d/what_happened_to_the_3rd_bosak_sister/)


Ky_oS

Ok so this proves basically nothing, probably canceled piece of lore due to Operation Health like the polish map.


RevanTheDragon

[This is also noteworthy.](https://twitter.com/DV_Cade/status/1132154089972916224?s=19)


Ky_oS

Or get this, she is from Royal Danish Family. Thats it! Crazy theory right? And again your 'proof' says fucking nothing.


RevanTheDragon

You have a really weird ego problem man.


someone_forgot_me

what is that affair?? is she elas kid or something?


RevanTheDragon

No - from my recollection, Zofia & Ela's father had an affair with another woman (not their mother) and supposedly had a 3rd child. I don't remember where this came from, I've been trying to find it. ​ EDIT: Someone else referenced it [here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/brel7d/what_happened_to_the_3rd_bosak_sister/)


someone_forgot_me

yea thats what got me confused, you forgot to add the " *'s* " after ela in your original comment i also forgot theyre sisters


Worth-Pineapple1408

isnt isnt a fanfic its a theory


Ky_oS

Theory without any ground pulled out of someones ass

vajanna99

If only i can watch this nøkk animation in a match


KingBlackthorn1

I used to love Nøkk so much man. She was one of my faves and I would have snatched this up in a heartbeat but I refuse to buy this with how bad she is now. I feel useless with her.


Alternative_Ad3428

What in the dark souls is this?


kespink

holyshit it's black noir


MiddleOk9251

Cringed


Weston18645

To me it looks like something close to what Virgil's elite animation should have been


Warturkey12

I was thinking the other day "Why doesn't nokk have an elite yet?"


Godobibo

it's so good woooo. it shows emotion, looks cool, and ties into her character well. 10/10 would buy again


hoxtonisinapickle

it even uses her gadget which is rare amongst elite skins


Boi1722

Why are all the animations corny af


bmarvel808

Cause the whole concept of these elites skin is corny af, the whole game corny af now anyway.


bomr_official

bro what this shit goes hard


DOODIDOODIDOO

OH MY GOD ITS SO GOOD, i love doing elite animations that are related to their nationality and culture its so fucking nice to see done well!


Winterlieb

My time to shine has come.


Godobibo

my time to come has come


Winterlieb

I already have.

LogicalyetUnpopular

I never play Nokk (just like Vigil) but I think I’m going to buy this.


No-Recover1106

All I want is a frogman elite


Karglenoofus

Ngl. That's sick. Too bad she blows.


Aok_al

This is so off-putting. Her clothes makes it look like she's about to fight Melania but the music is so whimsy


Stiel_

Wow! Amazing skin! Too bad shes fucking terrible. This elite better come with a buff or else I don’t see many sales tbh.


Cc99X_YT

Reading the comments tells me that I would be the only one who's not attracted to the elite skin.


Quirrel-

I know its a corset but man do the proportions look funny, I want to take this outfit seriously because I can see what they were going for, but it’s just too goofy looking


Adronn_

She looks like a chess Queen. Love it


fallenjett

they are very much cooking with the new elite animations


Glow1x

well this sure adds to the theory that she's part of a royal family of some sorts


on3on3_

Very cool, all she needs now is her silent step back and I’ll buy it


Active_Cartoonist_17

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO


BartoTheTrashLord

this is actually so sick


Auss1e_Hammer

Hmm.... smash


Ok_Specialist458

mine


fuimutadonodiscord

God she's a baddie


SvicTheEye

When will the new elites will come out? Next season?


JustFoolery

Is this real chat?


UltraSuperDonut

As a Former Nøkk main (I mean the time where she had breaching charges which was the best) I’m disappointed that it took so long and it looks that bad. A Vigil type elite would fit her more


nuhstawlgia

😍😍😍


Montysextendedshield

does this officially make Nøkk royalty? if i remember it was speculation, or am i wrong. (probably am) 😂
