Rainbow Six Siege: The Best Tips & Tricks

In Rainbow Six Siege you have to be tactical. We'll show you the best tips and tricks here. In addition to the correct procedure, the equipment and the crew are also crucial.

Rainbow Six Siege: The right way to act as an attacker

In each game you have to choose several rounds to win the game. So you have to win both as an attacker and as a defender.

• At the beginning, it is normal that you do not know the classic ambushes of every card. Therefore, play each card several times until you know the basic structure. Then you also know where the bomb or hostage stations can be.
• If you did not find the target in the preparation phase, send your drones through the area again in the action phase.
• If you use a shotgun as your primary weapon, equip your secondary weapon on the way to the target. If shots are fired here, long-range combat is required.
• Pay attention to your surroundings: If walls are reinforced or traps are lurking behind doors, you can see this from the fastenings in the wall.
• If you are alone in a room with the bomb, disarm it instead of continuing to search for enemies. So the actual defenders are under pressure and you can prepare an ambush.

Rainbow Six Siege: The right way to act as a defender

The way the defenders play differs significantly from that of the attackers.

• First you have to defend the target. There are often three entrances through a corridor, a staircase or the like.
• First set up jammers at these access points so that the opposing drones cannot find the target. You can use the jammer with the SAS operator "Mute".
• Then you should lay barbed wire in the stairwell and reinforce the walls of the target room.
• In the target area, traps on the windows and doors also help to immediately kill attackers. The traps can be used by the Spetsnaz operator "Kapkan".
• If a GIGN operator "Rook" is present, he should distribute his protective clothing in preparation.
• If you have to defend two bombs, be sure to split the team across both rooms. That way, as a defender, you cannot be ambushed.

The right team and communication in Rainbow Six Siege

In addition to the correct procedure, you also have to communicate to win a game. In the end, the team that has better coordinated almost always wins.

• Ideally, you should talk to several people in a team peak channel so that you can exchange ideas at any time. Alternatively, you can also use voice chat. However, it has a much poorer quality.
• Each operator can be used by only one player. Exchange ideas so that everyone can use an activated operator. The standard operator is not recommended because it is the only operator that has no special ability.
• In addition, only one player should use an operator with a shield. The other players should rely on firepower and special skills.
• The shield operator should then proceed in the game. Although he has extremely poor precision, the shield protects himself and his teammates.
