So it has become apparent that Blackbeard is virtually useless as an operator in Rainbow 6. Therefore I am proposing an ability re-roll. This will make him a more viable member of rainbow and supportive operator at the same time.
I am proposing that his ability becomes a FN40GL that launches smoke canisters. Additional information included in the image I designed up for concept.
EDIT: Even though Capitao is an effective similar operator to my Concept, his value could be used elsewhere if you were to remove the smoke arrows from his crossbow while Blackbeard and say Glaz are working together with the smoke launcher. The purpose of Rainbow 6 is to work as a team, that is the type of gameplay presented in the current game. He would become a utility operator that has a main focus of confusing and slowing down the enemy. Also, he would be a perfect pair with Glaz or Capitao depending on the situation given that there is not enough diversion play in Rainbow Six right now.
Additional Comments and Suggestions:

- My Reply: This is also a reasonable adaptation. If the option became apparent to NOT touch Capitao in the rework, then an entire new ability could be introduced to him. I only suggested smoke because the Pirate Blackbeard was known for his "smoking" hair and beard.
