FROM BRONZE TO BEAST: A SIEGE WALKTHROUGH THAT ACTUALLY HELPS


 

🎯 What Is Rainbow Six Siege?

Rainbow Six Siege is a 5v5 tactical multiplayer shooter by Ubisoft. It's not your typical run-and-gun game—strategy, teamwork, and map knowledge are essential. Players take on the role of either Attackers or Defenders, using unique gadgets and tactics to outplay the enemy in destructible environments.


🧩 Core Game Modes

  1. Bomb (main mode in Ranked/Unranked)

    • Attackers must plant a defuser at one of two bomb sites.

    • Defenders must prevent planting or defuse it if planted.

  2. Hostage

    • Attackers try to extract a hostage; defenders stop them.

    • Avoid explosives—they can kill the hostage.

  3. Secure Area

    • Attackers attempt to secure a single room by staying inside it.

    • Defenders win by eliminating attackers or stopping the capture.

  4. Terrorist Hunt (PvE)

    • Fight AI enemies—great for warming up or practicing aim.


🎮 How a Match Works

Each round has two main phases:

1. Preparation Phase (45 seconds)

  • Attackers send in drones to find the objective and spot defenders.

  • Defenders reinforce walls, place traps, and set up defenses.

2. Action Phase (3 minutes)

  • Attackers breach into the building to complete the objective.

  • Defenders hold positions, stop pushes, and play smart.

The first team to win a set number of rounds (typically 4–7) wins the match.


🗺️ Map Knowledge Is Power

Knowing the map is more important than your aim. Here’s why:

  • Learn bomb site locations, camera spots, windows and doors, hatch locations, and flank routes.

  • Common maps to learn:

    • Oregon

    • Clubhouse

    • Bank

    • Border

    • Kafe Dostoyevsky

➡️ Practice in Training Grounds or Custom Matches to learn layouts and callouts.


🔫 Core Gameplay Tips

For Attackers:

  • Use your drone to scout enemies and traps before pushing.

  • Breach carefully—don’t rush blind into rooms.

  • Use tools like breaching charges, hard breachers, and flash grenades.

  • Watch for flanking defenders—use drones or teammates to cover.

For Defenders:

  • Reinforce key walls and hatches to stop entry points.

  • Use gadgets (cameras, traps, jammers) to gather info or slow attackers.

  • Stay quiet and smart—sound is critical in this game.

  • You can roam (move outside the site to flank attackers) or anchor (stay on site).


🧠 Tactics That Win Rounds

  1. Use Your Mic or Ping System – Communication wins games.

  2. Play Together – Always have someone nearby to trade kills.

  3. Don’t Waste Utility – Use gadgets at the right moment, not right away.

  4. Check Corners – Enemies often hide in tight spots.

  5. Play the Objective – Don’t chase kills—winning the round is the goal.


🛠️ Settings for Better Gameplay

  • Field of View (FOV): 90–100 for wider vision.

  • Sensitivity: Low to medium (control matters more than speed).

  • Headphones: Must-have. You’ll hear footsteps, breaches, and drones.

  • HUD: Turn off unnecessary distractions; keep essential info visible.


🔓 Unlocking Operators & Progression

  • Start with the default operators from each unit (FBI, SAS, GIGN, etc.).

  • Earn Renown by playing matches and completing challenges.

  • Spend Renown to unlock new operators or cosmetics.

  • Focus on learning 2–3 operators well instead of many poorly.


🏁 Ranked & Long-Term Progress

Once you’re confident with your map knowledge and gunplay:

  • Try Unranked to get familiar with full rules.

  • Queue Ranked with friends for better coordination.

  • Learn to handle pressure and tight rounds.

Rank tiers:
Copper → Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond → Champion


Final Tips for Success

  • Don’t panic—stay calm, even in 1vX situations.

  • Sound is your sixth sense—use it.

  • Outsmart, don’t outshoot—this is a tactical game.

  • Team play always beats solo play—even if you’re the best fragger.
