[Top 5] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Bandit Loadouts

Updated:

Another R6 meme community favorite. All jokes aside about his past with drugs, this defending operator can give any attacking team serious problems especially when the player knows how to use the infamous ‘bandit trick’, along with his loadout and attachment options. For starters, being one of the German operators, he has access to one of the player-favorite shotguns in the game. The M870.

5. M870 + P12 with Muzzle Brake and Laser + Nitro Cell

Perhaps the best pump action shotgun in the game

With 60 damage, low recoil, and good range, it’s understandable why this is one of the player-favorite shotguns in the game. One hit with it at close range almost always means death, if not a down-but-not-out (dbno) state. Without a laser sight, you can always have your M870 at the ready, pointed at any direction without revealing your position to the enemy. Making this a solid loadout for anchoring.

The laser on your P12 handgun will improve its hip fire accuracy and is therefore very helpful in making your flick shots count. And speaking of making shots count, the muzzle brake greatly lowers the recoil of single-shot firing, which is just perfect for your P12.

4. MP7 with Red Dot and Suppressor + P12 with Muzzle Brake and Laser + Nitro Cell

Sneaky. Just like a real undercover agent.

Even with the damage reduction from attaching a suppressor, the MP7 still does 27 damage, and with its high fire rate and straight vertical recoil pattern, the benefits that the suppressor brings outweighs its drawback in many situations. Making your shots silent in itself is already a great advantage because you’ll be able to hear your surroundings better, and it won't alert other enemies to your whereabouts. But the best thing about the suppressor is that it hides the muzzle flash and the directional threat indicator that gunshots in Siege would normally make without a suppressor. This prevents enemies from immediately knowing where they’re being shot from.

3. MP7 with Red Dot and Compensator + P12 with Suppressor + Nitro Cell

Smoother recoil

For many players, the compensator provides a smoother or more stable feel when it comes to long sustained firing because what it does is reduce the recoil diamond of guns, and with a 30 bullet for magazine, the MP7 is great when it comes to continuous firing. The red dot also helps with accuracy and its smaller frame takes up less screen space.

The suppressed handgun is for shooting attacker drones or claymores without alerting enemies. This is very important especially when you’re roaming. While switching guns do make some sound. It’s still a lot quieter than shooting a drone or claymore with an unsuppressed gun.

2. M870 with Laser + P12 with Suppressor + Nitro Cell

Tighter pellet spread

Attaching a laser to your shotgun comes with the risk of compromising your position to the enemy, but it comes with a great benefit as well. It makes your shotgun more accurate by tightening the pellet spread of your hip fires, and with a shotgun, hip firing is what you’ll mostly do. As mentioned above, the M870 is already a frightening shotgun with its high damage, low recoil, and enhanced range. Adding accuracy to it makes it a lot more troublesome. For your enemies of course.

1. MP7 with Red Dot and Flash Hider + P12 with Suppressor + Nitro Cell

In certain guns like the MP7, flash hider is king.

With guns like the MP7 that has a straight vertical recoil pattern, the flash hider is the best, because it greatly lowers the vertical weapon kick and not only that, hiding the muzzle flash prevents your enemies from immediately returning fire, it also provides a clearer screen for you as you fire, making you see your targets more clearly as you shoot them.

This is a balanced loadout which can be used well in flanking and roaming.
