Rainbow Six Siege: 10 Most Important Operators Players Need To Learn

Thermite is Rainbow Six: Siege’s weathered hard breach expert and learning how to play an effective role as a hard breach specialist often starts with learning how to play Thermite.

Thermite’s gadget is a breaching charge, however this is not just any old breaching charge as it can in fact create big holes in walls that the defending team have reinforced. This allows Thermite to create new entrances to the objective, which can seriously disrupt the defending team's best laid plans.

This makes Thermite an extremely valuable operator to have on the attacking team and taking on this responsibility can often be daunting for newer players. However, everyone has to start somewhere and of all the operators capable of breaching through reinforced walls, Thermite remains the easiest of the bunch to learn.

Thermite’s popularity has diminished somewhat with the introduction of Hibana and Ace, the other operators capable of true hard breaching, but no-one is likely to complain if a Thermite is brought along on the attacking team.
