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

3/10


Online/Offline Trophies

This is an online only game.



Master of Siege

The platinum, complete all other trophies to earn this.


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, and GSG 9 has Blutz, 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 25K 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.

Don't go in There!

Doc, Smoke, etc. have barbed wire. Barbed wire now causes damage.

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, Maetro and Wamai have the most powerful handgun at 78 damage; the Keratos .357 (also called the D40). Blackbeard, 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 25k renown. It can one-shot kill 3 speed operators. Aruni is the first and only defender with a DMR.

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 M590A1 (Sledge, Thatcher, Mute, Smoke and Warden) is a two-shot at close range but has a slow fire rate. The SG-CQB (Twitch, Doc, Rook and Lion) is also pretty good. Ela's (Year 2 15k renown) shotgun is extremely powerful at close range. You can also use Buck as he has an under-barrel shotgun on an assault rifle or DMR, though he costs 10000 renown. Jackal, Mira, Frost, Castle, Gridlock and Amaru all have a secondary shotgun.

Greaser

I find the 9x19 Spetznaz 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.

Objective Based Trophies

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.

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.

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 casual. 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

Breaching any old spot won't count for this. You'll need an operator that carries breaching charges. Look for a wooden hatch in the floor, preferably above the objective and place your breach charge. Back up a safe distance and set it off. Just keep in mind that there may be a roaming defender nearby and that wooden hatches that are barricaded cannot be broken with regular breaching charges.

Important: it must be an indoor hatch. A roof hatch will not count.

Coming through!

You'll need to rappel up a wall by holding X next to a climbable 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 it. 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.

Fortess

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. 

Blind Ambition

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.

Brothers in Arms

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.

Specialist

At Clearance level 20 special challenges will unlock that unlock operators for completing them.

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

Strength in Numbers

You only need one other person for this, so grab a friend or boosting partner.

To the Top

This will come naturally with time as you go for other trophies. You level up quickly at first but it slows down later on.

Collector

This will take some time. Winning a match and scoring better then your teammates will reward you with more renown. Ubisoft Connect offers a 24 hour, 2 3 day and a 7 day booster.

Fashion Week

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 the Ubisoft Connect for free, which is a universal skin. Equip it to any 30 weapons.

Designer

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.

Accessorizing

This is best done before you jump into multiplayer, attach a barrel extension, grip, and sight to all your operators weapons.
