Rainbow Six Siege is a game that was released a couple of years ago as tactical shooter video game. I actually got Rainbow Six Siege last year, but kind of stopped playing for a bit after a few months. Recently in the past few weeks, I’ve been getting back into the game. Rainbow Six Siege is a multiplayer game with different game modes including Bomb, Hostage, and Secure Area. In each game, there’s a defending team and an attacking team and five players on each team with each team having a different objective. For all game modes, the defender’s goal is to either eliminate all of the attackers or wait until the attacker’s time is up. However, in the Bomb game mode, the defender’s could also have to destroy a defuser after it has started defusing a bomb.
In the Bomb game mode, attackers have to locate one of two bombs inside of a building and defuse it. However, the attackers only have one defuser, so they have to be careful and protect it after it has started defusing until it has finished disarming the bomb.
In the Hostage game mode, attackers have to locate a hostage inside of a building and rescue the hostage by taking them to an extraction point somewhere outside the building.
In the Secure Area game mode, attackers have to locate a room with a biohazard container in it and stay in that room for ten seconds to secure it. In each of these game modes, the attackers can also win by eliminating all of the defenders.
Before each round, there is a preparation phase when the defenders can prepare by placing different reinforcements on walls or floors around the objective or make other defenses. The attackers can use this time to use drones to scout locate the objective and see what they’re up against.
Rainbow Six Siege has different operators that have special abilities; for example, the operator Thermite is one of the only two operators that can breach through reinforced walls and floors making him a very useful attacker. The operator Jäger has three ADS (Active Defense Systems) that can be placed around a room and will destroy most projectiles that attackers might use like grenades.
You can also kill or be killed very easily in this game with most of the time only one shot with any weapon to the head will result in a kill. Therefore, it is very important to be able to hold clever angles or play on certain positions so that you have the jump on your enemy.
As you can tell, Rainbow Six Siege is a very complicated game to pick up and play, but once you get the basics down it can become a very fun game to play with friends.
