🎯 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
-
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.
-
-
Hostage
-
Attackers try to extract a hostage; defenders stop them.
-
Avoid explosives—they can kill the hostage.
-
-
Secure Area
-
Attackers attempt to secure a single room by staying inside it.
-
Defenders win by eliminating attackers or stopping the capture.

Terrorist Hunt (PvE)

🎮 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:

Common maps to learn:

Clubhouse
-
Bank
-

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.

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.
