Attack and Defense
Attack
In Rainbow Six Siege, an Attacker is a player whose primary mission is to infiltrate a
fortified location and complete an objective. Whether rescuing a captive, disabling a
bomb, or securing a zone, these specialists rely on precision, coordination, and
calculated aggression to overcome obstacles set by the opposing squad.
Attackers are equipped with a diverse arsenal, including high-powered firearms,
surveillance tools, and breaching devices designed to dismantle enemy fortifications.
Their role demands adaptability, as they must assess enemy placements, neutralize
traps, and create openings to gain the upper hand. Operators in this category vary
widely, offering tools such as explosive charges, hacking equipment, and specialized
vision-enhancing gear to give their team an advantage.
Success as an Attacker hinges on teamwork, patience, and map awareness. Charging
in recklessly often leads to failure, while methodical planning and synchronized
execution increase the likelihood of victory. With well-thought-out movements and
effective gadget deployment, Attackers set the pace of engagement and dictate the
flow of battle.

Defense
A Defender in Rainbow Six Siege is tasked with securing a designated area and
preventing enemy forces from achieving their goal. Whether by protecting a crucial
location, stopping a bomb defusal, or ensuring a hostage remains in place, these
operators specialize in fortification, denial tactics, and counter-intelligence.
Defenders utilize a variety of tools to control their surroundings and restrict enemy
movements. Their arsenal includes reinforced barriers, surveillance systems, and traps
designed to slow down or eliminate intruders. Some operators deploy bulletproof
shields, sensor-based gadgets, or disruptive technology that interferes with enemy
devices.
To excel as a Defender, patience and tactical positioning are essential. Instead of direct
confrontation, these specialists rely on anticipation, environmental awareness, and
coordinated teamwork to outlast and outmaneuver opponents. By setting up strategic
choke points, gathering intelligence, and carefully timing engagements, Defenders can
turn the environment into a stronghold that’s nearly impenetrable.
