Rainbow Six Siege Guide

🎮 Beginner Operators

Attackers

• Ash: Fast, breaching rounds — easy entry
• Sledge: Breaching hammer — simple and effective
• Thermite: Hard breach — essential for many sites
• Thatcher: EMP grenades — disable defender gadgets

Defenders

• Rook: Armor plates — easy support
• Doc: Healing pistol — sustain
• Mute: Signal jammers — block drones and breaching
• Jäger: ADS — destroy projectiles

🏗️ Destruction Mechanics

• Soft walls: Wood/drywall — shoot through, breach
• Hard walls: Reinforced — need hard breach (Thermite, Hibana)
• Floors: Can be destroyed — vertical play
• Hatches: Floor hatches — breach with shotgun or explosive

🎯 Winning Tips

• Drone phase: Use drones to find defenders and site
• Don't rush: Siege is slow and methodical
• Use cameras: Defender cameras give intel
• Sound: Footsteps, breaching, drone sounds — use headphones
• Teamwork: Coordinate pushes, don't go solo

🚪 Attackers and Utility

• Ash and Sledge open soft walls fast; Thermite and Hibana handle hard walls
• Thatcher's EMP disables gadgets before the breach - Thermite without Thatcher loses the wall to a Bandit trick
• Drone first, breach second: a team that walks in blind trades one operator for nothing

🛡 Defence Setup

• Mute stops drones and breaches, Jäger stops grenades, Rook and Doc keep the team alive
• Reinforce the two walls that face the main push, not every wall - attackers pick the soft side
• Make one rotation hole between sites; it wins more rounds than any single kill
• Three-speed operators roam, one-speed anchors; don't roam with Doc

🎯 Round Habits

• Hold angles at head height and lean (Q/E) instead of standing square in a doorway
• Sound is directional - crouch-walking is silent, running gives your position away
• In the last 30 seconds, stop hunting and play the objective; attackers must plant, defenders must not
