Who are the best attackers in Rainbow Six Siege? Here are the top 10 Rainbow Six Siege: Best attackers from a pro standpoint, inspired by the Champion player Athieno and pro player Fox.
1. Ace
Ace is introduced as the top hard breacher in the game. His loadout includes ACOG, flash hider, vertical grip, and laser sight for quicker ADS time.
Claymores are preferred over breaching charges. When using Ace, safety is important. As an Ace player, it is crucial to assist with drones and place Claymores to avoid runouts. Ace charges should be used cautiously, as impact tricking might destroy both charges.
Opening only one side with Ace charges creates a head-hole mirror. In addition, Ace charges can be used on shields and can be picked up if misplaced. Ace serves as frag support, prioritizing support play, wall opening, and eliminating enemies.
2. Buck
Buck is considered one of the top attackers in the game and is known for having the OG ACOG scope. For attachments, it’s recommended to use a laser for faster aim-down sight (ADS) time and a flash hider.
Buck’s secondaries include the GONNE-6, a secondary shotgun, and a hard breach charge. Buck is versatile and able to excel in various roles. As Buck, you are responsible for opening hatches and creating quick rotations for your team.
It’s important to manage your ammo wisely when making vertical plays. Additionally, two shots are usually enough for a quick rush. The choice between flashbangs and hard breach charges depends on the map and situation. Against bulletproof cameras or shields, use the GONNE-6. As an entry fragger, prioritize using utility before dying.
3. Dokkaebi
Next up, we have Dokkaebi. Dokkaebi is a very strong roam hunter. She also has the option to equip a GONNE-6, but the SMG-12 is a better option in my opinion.
I am running a horizontal grip because it makes me faster. Usually have an ACOG, and I use a laser sight to help with the ADS time. Always run flashbangs over smoke grenades or EMPs. EMPs are good if you’re using them for the team, but typically, you want to use your calls when your team is entering somewhere.
Think of Dokkaebi as kind of like you’re herding sheep. Same thing with Lion—if it’s a global ability like a Lion scan or a Dokkaebi call, use it right before you’re about to join an enemy or if you know an enemy is in a room.
4. Finka
Finka is arguably on the same level as Buck, primarily because of her healing ability. Regarding her loadout, the ACOG is okay, but I would recommend either ACOG or Reflex B.
She has a great gun and grenades, allowing her to get into the building fast. Any global operator that affects the entire lobby or at least your whole team at once requires very little effort, giving you more energy and effort to dedicate to the push.
The weapon has very low recoil, making it highly recommended. Additionally, don’t try to save your Finka charges; always use them, even if one teammate is losing HP. You never know when you’re going to die, so you need to use this ability ASAP. Remember, you can revive teammates anywhere on the map, which is also very helpful.
5. Hibana
Hibana is an OG hard breacher, equipped with an ACOG, laser, flash hider, and vertical grip on her primary weapon. I also recommend putting a laser on the Bearing 9 secondary weapon.
Always use stuns instead of breaching charges, leaving the breaching to operators like Ash, Zofia, and Buck. Hibana is more than just a hard breacher; she’s also a utility clearer.
Hibana can also clear Castle barricades effectively. You can use your flashes to help your teammates and move into the site. Hibana is a three-speed operator with an ACOG, making her very versatile.
In summary, if you love playing Ash but also want to support your team with utility, Hibana is a perfect choice.
6. Ash
Next up on this list is Ash. As you guys guessed, the R4-C is back. It’s pretty self-explanatory—run and gun.
Make sure you are entering off your teammate’s drones. Tips for Ash include taking map control off a pre-placed camera at the start and taking it fast. You should be in the building within the first 20 or 30 seconds of the round. Shoot default cams and catch someone off guard.
Once you get deep into the site, slow down a bit, and wait for your team to catch up. Give them a flank drone, make rotates for them, and use Ash’s utility to help get their stuff off the wall from below. After that, you’re back to fragging out.
7. Ram
Next up on this list, we have Ram. Equip the vertical grip, flash hider, ACOG, and laser sight.
If you’re trying to make a sneak attack, throw in your BU-GI hop in and get a kill by surprising your enemies. If you want to make efficient vertical plays and enjoy a bit of a surprise factor, try out Ram.
Besides making vertical plays, remember to make rotates with your shotgun. Just like Sledge, Ram is a heavy operator, so be cautious about standing on your vertical plays for too long to avoid getting hit by C4.
8. Ying
Next up we have Ying on this list. Her loadout is crucial, so make sure to use the ACOG, flash hider, vertical grip, and under-barrel laser.
She is excellent at taking map control, especially in a very aggressive meta. I would always recommend using hard breaching gadgets on her if you’re trying to take a hatch. If you’re pushing a window and want to be secure, remember you can use a suppressor to shoot default cams without being detected.
Find the weak point where you want to enter, and generally, you want to be the one entering because you don’t want to blind your teammates. It’s important to know that if you throw it normally, it takes longer to detonate.
Remember, with Ying, you have to be consistent and capitalize on the flash. Do not wait too long to enter after throwing your Candelas. Be confident and take that map control.
9. Gridlock
You guys might not have expected this one, but we have Gridlock. For Gridlock, I am using the ACOG on the F90, which is such a throwback. I’m going to be using the flash hider, vertical grip, and laser sight on the primary weapon.
On the secondary, I have the Super Shorty and usually run either frag grenades or EMPs. The EMPs can support your hard breachers, while the frag grenades are useful for clearing bulletproof utility.
The main thing about Gridlock is that she’s not just a flank watch. Gridlock’s Track Stingers are very effective for area denial and can create multiple layers of security. Her loadout makes her versatile, and her ability to create chaos with the Track Stingers is unparalleled. With the magical blueberries (Track Stingers) and a strong build, she’s like a female Thanos, making her a very effective operator.
10. Twitch
Last on this list, we have Twitch. Twitch is very strong right now because there are so many traps on defense, and playing Twitch feels like collecting gold coins in Mario.
She’s a very self-reliant operator, armed with either the 417 or the F2. I would recommend the 417 DMR if you have a good trigger finger because this weapon can two-tap enemies effectively.
Against operators like Mira or Maestro, the 417 DMR can quickly take them down with just two shots. Twitch’s shock drones are excellent for dealing with gadgets like the Mirror, default cams, Proximity Alarms, and even Wamai’s Mag-NETs or Melusi’s Banshees. If you can keep your drones alive, Twitch can dismantle the defense effortlessly.
She has a total of four drones, so I recommend using the regular drones for gathering info and saving the Twitch drones for gadget destruction to prevent them from being shot easily.
Conclusion
When evaluating the Rainbow Six Siege: Best Attackers, it’s crucial to remember that Siege is a dynamic game. You can achieve success with any operator by playing to their strengths. Even operators like Glaz, Kali, or Blitz, who might not be in the top 10, can excel in certain situations. Therefore, don’t feel restricted by any list; select operators based on your playstyle and the specific circumstances you’re dealing with.
