Operators

The Importance of Different Operators in Rainbow Six Siege

Operators in Rainbow Six Siege are essential to strategic gameplay, as each one brings unique abilities, gadgets, and roles to the battlefield. Carefully selecting operators that complement the team’s tactics can be the difference between victory and defeat.

  1. Entry Fraggers (Attackers): These operators specialize in aggressive engagements, leading the charge into contested areas. They often carry powerful weapons and mobility-focused gadgets to eliminate defenders quickly. Examples: Ash, Iana
  2. Support Operators (Attackers & Defenders): Support roles focus on assisting teammates through intel gathering, disabling enemy gadgets, or providing utility. Attackers like Thatcher disable electronics, while defenders such as Mute block enemy drones and communications.
  3. Hard Breachers (Attackers): These operators are crucial for breaking through reinforced walls and barriers, opening new attack routes. Examples: Thermite, Hibana, Ace
  4. Roamers (Defenders): Roamers move away from the objective site to disrupt attackers, flank them, and waste their time. They rely on speed and stealth. Examples: Vigil, Caveira
  5. Anchors (Defenders): These operators stay near the objective, reinforcing defenses and holding crucial angles. Their role is to delay and eliminate attackers who breach the site. Examples: Smoke, Maestro

Operator 1

Lesion

Defender
Speed
Armor

(My Defender Main) Lesion comes equipped with his Gu Mines; poison mines that, once triggered by physical contact, cause the victim to be affected by a gradual loss of health until they are downed or the needle is removed. Up to nine Gu Mines can be deployed, though access to them is staggered throughout the course of the round via a prep timer.

Operator 2

Ash

Attacker
Speed
Armor

(My Primary Attacker) Ash comes equipped with the M120 CREM. It can shoot up to two Breaching Rounds, which will burrow into a surface and detonate automatically. She is by far the best soft-breacher and entry fragger in the game with an amazing gun to go with her even better gadget. Not only can she destroy non-reinforced walls from a distance, but she can also use her M120 CREM to shoot down several other defender gadgets, for example shields, cameras and many others. Highly recommended for new players as well.

Operator 3

Ace

Attacker
Speed
Armor

(My Secondary Attacker) Ace's Unique Gadget is the SELMA Breaching Device. When thrown onto a breachable surface, the SELMA will extend a set of explosive arms, then detonate, creating a wide opening which can be used to establish line of sight. If there is room on the surface, the SELMA will lower down and detonate one more time, creating a larger opening through which Attackers can enter. He also has one, if not the best guns in the game, but to truly master his utility takes some practice.

Now this is mostly a high-rank rating, so lower tier operators will work in lower rank perfectly as well, but learning the harder, higher tier ones will be quite beneficial for anyone.
