The Six Berlin Major will be heating up between August 15-21 as the top 16 teams across Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North America will compete for the first time in Germany. Teams confirmed thus far are Astralis, Soniqs, Oxygen Esports, and XSET, all of which are representing the North American League.
However, the excitement of Six Majors could not be accomplished by only the professional esports players. There is excitement from the playable Operators within Siege itself too.
However, the excitement of Six Majors could not be accomplished by only the professional esports players. There is excitement from the playable Operators within Siege itself too.
With that in mind, here are 5 operators in Rainbow Six Siege that excel in their versatility at both the casual and competitive level.
Jäger [Defender] [2 Armor 2 Speed]
Starting with the defending side, we have Jäger.
The Grenzschutzgruppe 9 [GSG9] defender's ability is an Active Defense System (ADS).
This ability denies any throwables and some attacker abilities from entering a bomb or objective site. Some examples are stun grenades, frag grenades, Ash's Breaching Round and Zofia's KS-79 Lifeline.
Jäger's primary weapons consist of the high damage outputting 416-C Carbine and M870 Shotgun.
His secondary weapon is the P12 Pistol, while having Barbed Wire or a Bulletproof Camera as his gadget.
Since Jäger has access to an assault rifle and an ability to deny attacker projectiles, it is clear to see why he is one of the most versatile operators in Siege at the casual and competitive level.
Buck [Attacker] [2 Armor 2 Speed]
Moving to the attacking side, we have Buck.
The Joint Task Force 2 [JFT2] affiliated attacker 's ability is a Skeleton Key.
The Skeleton Key allows access to an under barrel shotgun used to create openings on penetrable surfaces. Examples are soft walls and floors near a bomb or objective site.
The Skeleton Key's shotgun has a total of 36 shells, holding 6 shells per magazine.
Buck’s primary weapons consist of the C8-SFW assault rifle and CAMRS marksman rifle.
His secondary weapons are the MK1 9mm pistol, while having Stun Grenades or Hard Breach Charges as his gadget.
Since Buck’s arsenal revolves around his breaching versatility, it is clear to see why he is one of the most versatile operators in Siege at the casual and competitive level.
Twitch [Attacker] [2 Armor 2 Speed]
Sticking with the attacking side, we have Twitch.
The Gendarmerie Intervention Group [GIGN] affiliated attacker's ability is a Shock Drone.
The Shock Drone can gather intel, and destroy defender gadgets and abilities. Some examples are stationery cameras on all maps, Bandit’s Crude Electrical Devices, Mute’s Signal Disruptors, and Kapkan’s Entry Denial Devices.
Twitch’s primary weapons are the damage heavy F2 assault rifle, 417 marksman rifle, and SG-CQB shotgun.
Her secondary weapons are the P9 pistol and LFP586, while having Smoke Grenades or Claymores as her gadget.
Since Twitch has a versatile loadout and ability, it is clear to see why she is one of the most versatile operators in Siege at the casual and competitive level.
Smoke [Defender] [2 Armor 2 Speed]
Shifting tides to the defending side once more, we have Smoke.
The Special Air Service [SAS] affiliated defender has a unique and effective Remote Gas Grenade ability.
This ability is used for entry denial into a bomb or objective site. As the gas's large radius can shut down attackers from either defusing a bomb or securing a point. The damage output is 15 points every two-thirds of a second, making the ability strong.
Smoke’s primary weapons consist of the FMG-9 submachine gun and the powerful M590A1 shotgun.
His secondary weapons are the P226 MK 25 pistol and the fast firing SMG-11, while having a Deployable Shield or Barbed Wire as his gadget.
Most Siege players choose the combination of the M590A1 and SMG-11, and for good reason. This combo is deadly and allows the player to see how versatile Smoke really is.
Since Smoke has a site controlling ability and powerful loadout, it is clear to see why he is one of the most versatile operators in Siege at the casual and competitive level.
Maverick [Attacker] [1 Armor 3 Speed]
Returning to the attacking side one last time, we have Maverick.
The Grim Sky Urban Tactical Response [GSUTR] affiliated attacker has a very useful and unique Breaching Torch ability.
The torch, can create openings of various sizes on either soft or reinforced walls and hatches, even if they are electrified.
Maverick’s primary weapons consist of the M4 assault rifle and the hard hitting AR 15.50 assault rifle.
His secondary weapon is a 1911 TACOPS pistol, while having Frag Grenades or Claymores as a gadget.
The strategy behind Maverick, is learning to properly utilize his Breaching Torch in situations to ensure victory.
Since Maverick has a strong loadout and the only attacker with a counterless ability, it is clear to see why he is one of the most versatile operators in Siege at the casual and competitive level.
These are just a handful of the operators deemed as versatile options to ensure victory alongside your teammates in Rainbow Six Siege at the casual and competitive level.
