Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical pvp first-person shooter.
6/10
This is an online only game.
Beginner's tips: Utilize Training mode. From the main menu select playlists press R2 to access Training. The tutorials are here as well as other training modes. I highly recommend Clear House, settings are preferential. I use pre-destruction off, advanced AI, attacker. And I play as IQ to help locate the default cameras. There is a mini-map. I use it for my initial runs to learn the map layout but then do not let myself use it on sequential attempts. For practice with guns play Deathmatch, it's FFA with unlimited respawns. For attachments I use Holo B for 1x Site and Magnified A for scoped but this is preference really. For guns with horizontal recoil (left and/or right right patterns) I recommend Compensator and Straight grip, for vertical use the flash hider if not the muzzle break, and for single shot always use muzzle break, only put lasers on shotguns and remember enemies can see your laser dot. Also I use Reflex B for shotguns, except for the Supernova which I use Holo B and the TSG I use Magnified A. The Supernova and C75auto can be suppressed. In regards to sensitivity that is entirely up to you. Personally I used the shooting range and Google Gemini's help to optimize the ratio between my muscle memory and sensitivity settings.

The CTU's are the units the operators are in, for example, GIGN has Twitch, Montagne, Rook, and Doc. FBI SWAT has Ash, Thermite, Castle and Pulse. SAS has Sledge, Thatcher, Mute and Smoke. GSG 9 has Blitz, IQ, Bandit and Jäger. It will cost 4000 renown to unlock a full unit.
It will cost 16000 renown to unlock all base game operators. You can do weekly and daily challenges through Ubisoft Connect for a small, renown bonus, but quick match and/or buying a booster is the fastest way to earn renown. You can claim free boosters with Ubi points from Ubisoft Connect. There is a free 3 and 7 day booster. Some can and likely will unlock via specialities.

Getting better at the game will help you get this faster, please see my Mastery Guide for more details. Team communication and map knowledge can also make a big difference. Use cameras effectively. On attack, you have a drone, try to save the first one from the prep phase if possible. Look on cameras using up on the d pad. Instead of marking someone with Triangle, try to sneak up on their last known location. Use that knowledge to your advantage. Use angles and lean. Headshots are an instant kill.
Partially skill-based. You'll get this naturally when going for kills. If you down someone, you use your sidearm to shoot them in the head. Some guns have more recoil than others, use the recoil to your advantage, aim chest high or so depending on the recoil and the recoil should draw up to their head. I recommend using Google Gemini to help refine your settings. You can show it footage of your gunplay in the shooting range and it will suggest sensitivity based on that to help you. You can also tell it your playstyle to help tailor your settings.
Rather tricky to pull off. 2 good choices are Glaz or Kali on Plane as mentioned in Sureshot and Pulse. Pulse can sense heartbeats through walls at close range, roam with him and if you sense someone on the other side of a soft wall, shoot them through it. You can also melee a wall to make peek holes. If your patient and/or having trouble, you can cough up 15k renown to buy Mira. Kali has an extremely powerful sniper rifle that can penetrate multiple walls and operators but she costs 15K renown.
One of the toughest trophies in the game, but it can be approached with a few tactical methods. You may even unlock it completely by accident (note: Thermite's Exothermic Hard Breach charge does count toward this trophy).
-
The Active Meta (The Defuser Trap): Plant the defuser directly next to a soft, breachable surface. Deploy a drone to watch the defuser, run to the opposite side of the soft wall, and plant your Breaching Charge. Monitor your drone camera; the moment a defender locks into the long disarm animation, detonate the charge.
The DBNO Method: Pick Thatcher with the M590A1, down a defender with a shotgun on a wooden floor and place a breach charge next to them, then set it off.
Another misleading description as stuns from Blitz's shield also count toward this. A good way to do this is to get close to someone, flash them with your shield and shoot them. Another good operator for this is Ying from year 3, she costs 15K renown to unlock, she has cluster stun grenades that function a lot like Fuze's special ability. You can place them on a breachable surface or throw them to flash a small room with an enemy inside. Hold R1 until the indicator is fully charged for a larger and longer-lasting flash. She is also immune to her own flashes.
IQ, Thatcher, Thermite, etc. have a claymore, which is an explosive with 3 lasers coming out of it. Place it next to doors or windows, handy for run-outs. It's an instant kill 99% of the time. A good op for this is Osa. You melee her shield and play a claymore behind it. Maverick is also another good option as you can burn through the bottom of a wall and place a claymore and catch a defender off guard. Try placing them in drone holes, for example Clubhouse balcony for Gym and Bedroom or Clubhouse roof Cash and CCTV. Pick Thatcher with the M590A1 and claymore, down them with the shotgun and place a claymore next to them. Can confirm this method counts as May 26, 2026.

Sledge, Glaz, IQ, etc. have 2 frag grenades which are not an instant kill most of the time. So you want to shoot at them first to weaken them, then throw it. Iana can be helpful for this as her ability is basically an infinite rechargeable drone. Drone out a defenders location then try to throw a well placed grenade. Unfortunately they can no longer be cooked. I recommend Lion, use his drone to force the defenders to stand still or be pinged and throw a frag at where you saw them last. Pick Sledge with the M590A1 and frag grenades, down them with the shotgun and thro a frag next to them. Can confirm this method counts as May 26, 2026.
I recommend working with a friend or teammate if struggling. It is possible to get this solo as Thorn, her Razerbloom Shell got a significant buff making this way easier. Utilize windows, put barbed wire under a window with a Razorbloom nearby. If necessary have a friend place a frost mat at the window. Lesion is also big help with this.
Only certain defenders have a Nitro Cell, such as Pulse, Bandit, Mute, etc. It's basically an explosive C4 brick, you can stick it to a surface or throw it at an enemy then set it off to kill them. It has a pretty wide explosion radius so this shouldn't be too difficult. Using Pulse's Heart Beat Monitor you can kill people from below through a breachable floor/ceiling.
All operators have a sidearm, which is usually a pistol. Alibi, Maestro, Bandit and Wamai have the most powerful handgun at 78 damage; the Keratos .357 (also called the D40). Valkyrie and Nokk have the second most powerful handgun; the D-50 (Deagle) at 71 damage.
A DMR is also known as a Marksman Rifle, a single-shot rifle. Twitch's 417 (Also used by Lion), Glaz's OTs-03, Buck's CAMRS, Blackbeard's SR-25, Dokkaebi's Mk 14, and Kali's CSRX 300. Kali's by far being the best DMR in the game to date but she costs 15k renown. It can 1HKO 3 speed operators in the chest.
Most Attackers have an assault rifle but Ash, Fuze and Twitch has what are considered to be the top 3. The R4-C, AK-12 and F2 respectively. Only 3 defenders have one, Jaeger, Wamai and Thunderbird, the 416-C Carbine, Aug A2 and the Spear.
The ACS12 (Alibi, Maestro and Azami) both use slugs so they have a much longer range. You can also use Buck as he has an under-barrel shotgun on an assault rifle or DMR. Or my personal favourite the M590A1, on Mute, Smoke, Sledge,Thatcher, Deimos and Warden.
I find the 9x19 Spetsnaz SMG has very little recoil, is easy to use and accurate so choose Kapkan or Tachanka. Doc and Rook's MP5 is also easy to use. The MPX on Valkyrie and Warden also has little to no recoil. Frost's 9mm C1 is very easy to handle too.
To play Secure Area, open Brosee playlists, press triangle to open quick match settings and enable Secure Area in Quick Match, only bomb is enabled by default. Relatively dead on NA servers, but I've been told it's very active on EU servers. So you may need to find an EU boosting partner. You can also try PC crossplay.
This is very much luck-based, but there is a chance that you will spawn very close to the objective room, so just keep playing and you will get this eventually. This can only be done in Unranked/Ranked. It helps if you study the locations of bomb rooms in Quick match and where they are located in the building. There are sites that are commonly chosen first round. 2F Dorms on Oregon, 2F Gym and Bedroom on Clubhouse, 2F Bedroom and office on Chalet to name a few.
This will come naturally as you go for other trophies and learn to play the game.
Easier said than done, even in Quick Match. People get very competitive in this mode. Just do your best. If you have the defuser, try not to rush in right away. When you're close to a bomb, drone the room and if it's clear, try to find a spot in a doorway or by a window, basically an open area that's easy to defend and difficult for a defender to hide in. If they fail to stop the defuser then attackers win. Camera ops such as Valkyrie or Echo are useful defenders, as they can place a camera in each bomb room. Echo can use his yokai to stop attackers from planting, his sonic burst stops the planting process. Try to place Valkyrie's black eyes so they can see the bomb site and aren't blocked by obstructions such as shelves and fans. The third should be placed in a nearby room or near a heavy traffic area. Having a camera in the bomb rooms can be important, because if the defuser is planted, a camera can detect it and an icon will appear. To disarm it, go to it and hold Square.
You'll very likely get this in a Quick Match as people have a tendency to rage quit and/or team kill. If it's a 5 v 3/2/1 just rush the objective room on the attack round.
Breach any wooden floor using a breach charge. Doesn't matter where. Just not a hatch.
You'll need to rappel up a wall by holding X next to a rappelable wall. Ascend up to a window covered in wooden barricades, melee it twice with R3 then press X to enter. Or alternatively place a breach charge, initiate an entry then set off the charge.
There are two good choices for this: Fuze and IQ. Fuze's gadget is a cluster grenade. IQ is also a good choice as she can detect enemy gadgets which can be shot through breachable surfaces, such as floors or ceilings. Twitch is also good for this.
Choose Thermite while attacking and destroy a reinforced wall. You'll know its reinforced because you'll see little metal stars sticking out of it.
Standard cameras look like a black bubble on a white base, ones located outside usually hang from a tall white pole. IQ is good for learning camera locations. Use IQ's gadget to detect cameras and other nearby electronics.
You can volunteer to carry the defuser. It is best to wait until the room is clear and/or at least 3 of the defenders are dead.
This will take time and practice unless you have really good players on your team.
Go up to a destructible wall and hold Square. There is now a pool of 10 barricades anyone can access regardless of remaining teammates.
Simply cover unbarricaded doors or windows with Square 5 times.
An important thing you'll want to do as a defender is to destroy attackers drones as they are cameras and can spot you. Bandit or Mute are perfect for this, Bandit can place barbed wire and add a battery to it, this instantly destroys any drone. Mute's Jammers stop a drone in its tracks making an easy target. The only thing you need to watch out for is Twitch as she can destroy both types of traps.
The defuser is a little yellow box carried by the attackers, it's their goal to plant it. It's best to either hide behind something or make sure all attackers are dead before attempting to do this. Approach it and hold Square.
Pick a few operators that you're good with and practice. 2-3 speeds are the best roamers. Be sure to barricade any soft walls and use your gadgets effectively. 3 Armours are better anchors.
You don't have to win, just stay till the end of the match.
Hold square next to a downed teammate to revive them or you can revive with your stim gun as Doc when defending. Aim the gun at the downed ally to revive them from a safe distance. Finka can also now revive a downed ally with her adrenal surge on attack.
At Clearance level 15 special challenges will unlock that unlock operators for completing them. Most of them are straightforward. It can be found in the Operator tab. It is intended to teach you the mechanics of the game.

This will most likely be rather difficult solo queueing. I suggest trying to get a decent squad together for these. A flawless means you won 3-0 in quick match.
Extremely easy on Quick Match.
You only need one other person for this, so grab a friend or boosting partner.
This will come naturally with time as you go for other trophies. You level up quickly at first but it slows down later on.
This will take some time. Winning a match will reward you with more renown. Ubisoft Connect offers a 24 hour, two 3 day and one 7 day booster. You also get boosters from completing Operator Specialties. You also get a squad bonus if teamed up with other players.
Weapon Skins come from Alpha Packs which you get a chance to spin for by winning an multiplayer match. However, you can unlock the Elephant skin from Ubisoft Connect for 40 units which you earn through playing Ubisoft games, which is a universal skin. The cheapest universal skin you can buy costs 12500 Renown. Go to any gun Press R3 and equip to all.
You'll want to do this before starting any matches. Add a sight, a grip and barrel extension to the guns of your chosen operators.
This is best done before you jump into multiplayer, choose and arrach a barrel extension, grip, and sight to all your operators weapons. Or alternately you can switch between 2 sights and it counts each click.
