8 Types Of Player In Rainbow Six: Siege
6. The Distracter
Rainbow Six is full of opportunities to distract players. Nothing throws a defender off more than an annoying zap from a Twitch drone or a buzzing phone thanks to Dokkaebi.
This distraction allows for a very short window in which attackers can enter the objective and either kill the enemy, grab the hostage or begin diffusing a bomb. Smoke grenades go hand-in-hand with this type of player, because it masks the exact location of attackers as they sprint in or plant a bomb. Smoke grenades are also highly effective in hostage matches because the defenders can not risk killing the hostage in the smoke.
Lion's ability can also be used, as defenders stay still during his scans and often hide to avoid taking fire. This time frame allows attackers to enter the objective whilst defenders are distracted. Furthermore, defenders know they are vulnerable during scans and are hesitant to shoot. If defenders move, the red outline makes it significantly easier to kill them.
