Rainbow Six Siege: 10 Most Important Operators Players Need To Learn
1. Jager
Jager remains one of the most popular operators in Rainbow Six: Siege, and for very good reason.
He boasts a useful gadget that can be placed during the preparation phase and then forgotten about, providing value to the team long after he has been eliminated from the round. On top of that he also boasts an assault rifle weapon on defence that has often been a topic of contention among players.
In the current meta where there is a heavy focus on ‘utility’ - another term given to gadgets - Jager is more important than ever. His gadget, dubbed the Active Defense System or ADS, destroys grenades and other projectiles that fly within its range, which nullifies some of the attackers valuable tools that are needed to deal with Defenders’ ‘utility’. Taking away attackers ability to deal with other defender gadgets can give the defending team a healthy advantage in the latter stages of a round.
Whether players like the current meta or not, there’s no denying that Jager is an extremely valuable operator and is therefore a must-learn for all players. He is selected in over 90% of rounds in Platinum ranks and above, which is why he sits atop this list as the operator that every player should be able to pick up and play.
