8 Types Of Player In Rainbow Six: Siege
3. The Breacher
No wall is safe from breachers. They break down the outside walls around objectives, usually with the intent of leaving defenders unprotected.
Despite this, many defenders mercilessly use impact grenades and shotguns to the same effect in the preparation phase, sometimes catching attackers off guard but usually at the expense of creating a secure and easily defendable objective.
Many attackers have breach charges that can destroy unreinforced walls. Shotguns can easily fire through unprotected walls. Special operators Thermite and Hibana can break through reinforced walls, with Thermite's exothermic charges destroying whole walls at a time and Hibana's thermal breaching pellets can leave peepholes in walls large enough to shoot enemies but not large enough to act as an entry point.
Sledge's hammer can break down doors, windows and unprotected walls with immense speed, surprising defenders.
