Rainbow Six Siege: 10 Most Important Operators Players Need To Learn
2. Bandit
With two hard breaching attacking operators on this list, it only makes sense to have someone on the defending side with a gadget specifically designed to prevent the attackers from breaching reinforced walls. Enter Rainbow Six: Siege’s lovable electrician, Bandit, who can be very effective at ruining the days of all hard breaching operators.
Bandit’s gadget is essentially a car battery that can be attached to reinforced walls or barbed wire to electrify them. In the case of reinforced walls, this destroys any gadgets that come into contact with the electrified wall, such as Thermite’s breaching chargers or Hibana’s X-KAIRO pellets. This makes it very difficult to create holes in said wall unless they are able to destroy Bandit’s gadget, or they bring Thatcher along to disable it.
Experienced Bandit players can take his gadget a step further by employing the heralded ‘Bandit Trick’, which means that they do not place the Bandit charge until they hear the attacking team attach one of their gadgets to the other side of the reinforced wall. Doing this destroys the attackers gadget and prevents the wall from being breached.
This can be repeated ad nauseum as Bandit’s gadget can be picked up once deployed, which can be a great way to waste some of the attackers' all important gadgets.
