Attacking in Rainbow Six Siege for beginners

There are many things that attackers have to keep in mind when attacking in Rainbow Six Siege. The following are some of the most important aspects of the game that players need to focus on.

1) Picking operator for approach

Whenever any team is sent on the attacking side, it is important to keep a good roster of operators who compliment each other. For instance, Hard breachers like Thermite and Ace can go well with Thatcher as he can disable hard breach denial gadgets to ensure entry.

While the rest of the team can focus on taking care of other aspects to keep pushing opponents to the edge, this can be achieved by picking operators like Nomad and Lion, who can keep the pressure up for Defenders.

2) Using drones to get maximum intel

Drones play one of Rainbow Six Siege's biggest roles as intel remains the best weapon against anything in the shooter game. With proper intel, both Defenders and Attackers can have a massive advantage over adapting to threats and winning any situation.

It is crucial to gain information on which sites the Defenders have chosen to start planning the approach during the preparation phase. Once intel is gathered on the operators and gadgets, attackers can work on their approach. Additionally, with the introduction of the Attacker Repick feature with Demon Veil, players can change their operators to their advantage and rethink their strategy.

3) Coordinating with the team to execute a plan

After gathering enough intel on Defender's setup, it is crucial to use it. This can be done by actively discussing each move to approach the site to eliminate every opposition or make a plant successful.

Most beginners get this wrong and that is going for frags greedily. This greed can cost the entire team as overconfidence doesn't lead to anything good.

Keeping the friendly side fire strength up can keep the opposition under pressure and lead them to make mistakes.

4) Keeping good positioning in post plants

If attackers manage to make a successful plant after reaching a site, poor positioning can cost an entire round. With good positioning, players can even win 1v5s if a proper plan is maintained.

Good positioning is only possible if proper map knowledge is kept to work on a better outcome.
