Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege ~ Platinum Guide PS4 and PS5

Quick Overview

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical pvp first-person shooter.

PS5 is a full auto pop if you have the PS4 plat, but a trophy may glitch on you and will have to do it again.

Important: Trophies cannot be earned in Dual Front.

Difficulty Rating

5/10

Online/Offline Trophies

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 reccomend Clear House, settings are preferential. I use predestruction off, advanced AI, attacker. ANd I play as IQ tp help locate the default cameras. There is a minimap. 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.

Operator Related Trophies

Back in the Day ATK

All base ops cost 1000 renown each. Try starting with Sledge, Thatcher or Thermite.

First Class Defense

All base ops cost 1000 renown each. Rook or Doc are good starting defenders.

Old School

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

Full Roster

It will cost 20000 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.

Jack of All Trades

Make a checklist and check off each operator as you win a round with them.

Weapon/Gadget Related and Kill Trophies

Just Getting Started

Getting better at the game will help you get this faster, see Additional Tips below. 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.

Brain Surgeon

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.

That bullet pen...

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.

Note: I have been told that the tracking on this is bugged so just keep trying until it pops. I've also been told that assists count. There is no available tracker so I cannot confirm either.

Meat Wall

One of the toughest trophies in the game. There are a few methods for this such as planting the defuser next to a breachable surface and placing your breach then setting it off when they try to disarm it. You may even get it without trying. Thermite's hard breach charge does count for this.

Senseless

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.

No Trespassing

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.

Room Cleared

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.

Don't go in There!

I recommend working with a friend or teammate if struggling. It is possible to get this solo as Thorn. Utilize windows, put barbed wire under a window with a Razorbloom nearby. If necessary have a friend place a frost mat at the window. 

Wrong Number

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.

Bang

All operators have a sidearm, which is usually a pistol. Alibi, Maestro 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.

Sureshot

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.

Full Auto

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.

Ride Shotgun

The Supernova (Hibana, Amaru and echo) and 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.

Greaser

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.

It Begins...

You don't have to win, just stay till the end of the match.

Perimeter Secured

Really easy. Play Secure on Quick Match. 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.

That was Fast!

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.

Objective Driven

This will come naturally as you go for other trophies and learn to play the game.

Boomshakalaka

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 entrances to the rooms 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.

Speed Round

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.

Death from Above

Breach any wooden floor using a breach charge. Doesn't matter where.

Coming through!

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.

Asset Protection

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.

Oh Yeah!

Choose Thermite during attacking and destroy a reinforced wall. You'll know its reinforced because you'll see little metal stars sticking out of it.

Camera Shy

Standard cameras look like a black bubble on a white base, ones located outside usually hang from a long white pole. IQ or Twitch are good for learning camera locations. Use IQ's gadget to detect cameras and other nearby electronics. Twitch's drone is perfect for running around the map destroying cameras and/or defender gadgets.

That Was Close

You can volunteer to carry the defuser. It is best to wait until the room is clear and/or at least 3 of the enemies are dead.

Overachiever

This will take time and practice unless you have really good players on your team.

Fortress

Go up to a destructible wall and hold Square. There is now a pool of 10 barricades anyone can access regardless of remaining teammates.

Woodworker

Simply cover unbarricaded doors or windows with Square 5 times.

Drone Destruction

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.

Close, But No Cigar

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.

Can't Breach This

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.

To The Rescue

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.

One Mind

Please see Perfectionist below.

Perfectionist

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.

Globetrotter

Extremely easy on Quick Match.

Misc. Trophies
