It seems hard to believe that as of 2020, Rainbow Six: Siege offers a whopping 52 Operators. As each year has passed, Ubisoft has added progressively more extravagant kits to the game, with the upcoming Operation Void Edge adding in an Astronaut and a man who can run through walls.
It remains a team game, so every Operator unit has its own strengths and weaknesses, forcing you to shift your pick to keep up with both squad composition and the map objective. With each Operator also packing their own choice of main weaponry, there’s some flexibility.
We’ve put together a tier list for both Attacking and Defending Operators below.
