Players can choose from a variety of Operators in "Rainbow Six Siege," each playing a unique role that specializes in either attacking or defending.
Beginners typically have a difficult time choosing which Operator they should choose when they first start out. A lot of factors should be considered when picking out which character you should use depending on your preferred playstyle.
This guide aims to help players pick out a "Rainbow Six Siege" Operator that is still viable in the meta in 2024. Keep an eye out for how these characters play, and figure out which ones fit your preferences well.
Buck
One of the best Operators you can choose from in "Rainbow Six Siege" is Buck, a Canadian attacker who acts like a one-man army on the battlefield. He has a C8-SFW Assault Rifle that deals massive damage.
The main drawback of this character is that his attacks have relatively high recoil compared to other Operators. But you can fix this by using the CAMRS Marksman Rifle as your primary weapon, according to Dexerto.
Thatcher
Thatcher is another good Operator to use in the game, but he has been banned before for various reasons. This somewhat reflects the character's strength as he has EMP grenades that are very useful and flexible.
He still has solid loadout options even after several nerfs to his speed. Pairing this with his somewhat overpowered gadget, he is one of the best attackers in "Rainbow Six Siege."
Thermite
One of the best breachers in "Rainbow Six Siege" is Thatcher, who is also very easy to use for beginners, especially for an attacker. He has a gadget that is simple, and his 556xi Assault Rifle has great damage potential and a high fire rate.
He also has Exothermic Charges that can breach an entire reinforced wall, which is more than we can say for Ace, Hibana, or Maverick, Siege GG said.
Ace
This Operator's loadout is arguably one of the best among the attackers in the game, and his gadget is the perfect tool for dealing with reinforced walls from a distance. Ace can also destroy reinforced hatches with ease.
Ying
Another great attacker in "Rainbow Six Siege" is Ying, who was introduced in the Operation Blood Orchid expansion. She has remained quite popular among players due to her T-95 LSW primary LMG weapon.
She also has four flash cluster charges that she can use to blind enemies for a very long time.
These are different from Stun Grenades, which other characters can use as they affect a larger area. They can also be cooked to shorten the delay before they detonate, according to Game Rant.
