Rainbow Six Siege is one of the first multiplayer shooter games that introduced the concept of charms. Charms are basically something like keychains which you can display on the side of your weapon. Before I started playing Siege, the charms were actually one of the first things that caught my eye when I saw gameplay clips.
Displaying your preferred charm on your weapons is one way for Siege players to show their personality to other players. A lot of these charms have really unique designs. Some are cute, badass, and some even show the player’s highest achieved rank. But for this article, we’re going to focus on the charms that are widely available to players.
12. Awww, Dangerous
The Awww, Dangerous charm probably has the most unique name out of all the charms in Siege, but that’s not the reason why it has made this list. It’s simply one of the cutest charms in the game, but most importantly, it’s a good callback to Siege’s old school days. That's because it looks like the bomber archetype of terrorists back when Siege still had Terrorist Hunt. That game mode was later remodeled into Training Grounds which removed the bomber archetype from the game.
And now in Siege’s Year 8 Season 4, even the Training Grounds have been removed because a much better game mode, the Versus AI replaced it. Still, even though Versus AI is much better for the players’ practice, a lot of old school players like me had some good memories in the Terrorist Hunt, and we do remember the bomber. That’s because the bomber was probably the most dangerous archetype in that game mode, as it will come running after you with a C4 which made for a lot of intense but fun moments, especially with friends.

11. Volleyball
As mentioned before in the introduction to this article, one of the first things that caught my eye when I first saw some gameplay clips from Siege are the charms on the game’s guns. I’m personally not even the type to really go after cute stuff, but I thought the charms are quite cute, and particularly charming. As for this Volleyball charm, it embodies the aesthetic of charms that could invite people in. It’s quite colorful and its design, you can just tell, is of high quality.
It even has the Rainbow Six Siege logo which adds to its overall appeal. It belongs to the Rare category of charms in the game which makes sense because I also do not see this charm often on other players. But when you see it, either on other players or on your own weapons, it really is eye catching, because the combination of colors are just pleasant to the eyes. And even though it’s considered Rare, it’s not really that hard to obtain because it only has an average cost of 12,500 Renown.

10. Nokk Chibi
The chibi versions of the operators are some of the best charms in the game, and among them, Nokk’s chibi charm is definitely one of the best. We know Nokk as probably the most mysterious Rainbow operator. If you open up her bio, you’d be met with so many texts that are redacted. In that sense, she gives off the most spec op vibes in the whole game. Heck, even her operator trailer looked like a horror movie trailer. That’s why to see her in chibi form with a cute pose is so endearing.
Even in this chibi charm version, Nokk has her headgear which covers her entire head, but in my opinion, it just adds even more cuteness to the charm. There’s just something about putting a very serious and mysterious character into a chibi form and having them look all cute. The only thing about this charm is that it’s one of the most expensive charms in the game, but I think its price is justified since it’s a really nice charm to brag around to your teammates as well as enemies.
How To Get Nokk Chibi:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Nokk Chibi
- Get it for 600 R6 Credits or 25,000 Renown
9. Neon Compass
Directional and situational awareness is very important in Siege, and it’s always good to be reminded of that. Direction is particularly important when it comes to issuing callouts, especially if you’re not sure about the exact name of the spot where you died. This Neon Compass charm can remind you to always be wary of directions, and it’s a good tool when it comes to giving advice to your teammates. But this charm isn’t only a good reminder. It actually looks really good and that’s the main reason it has made this list.
Most of it is bright orange so it’s really eye-catching, especially since not a lot of objects and backdrops in the game are of the color orange. This charm will easily stand out and catch people’s attention when they’re watching your perspective. That’s why it’s a really good charm to display on your weapon, because what’s the use of a charm if it’s not noticeable? Perhaps the only downside to this charm is that its compass doesn’t actually work. But still, it’s a good reminder that if you do need to use directions, there’s an in-game compass at the bottom of the screen.
How To Get Neon Compass:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Neon Compass
- Get it for 180 R6 Credits or 7,500 Renown
8. Stumper
The devs have appropriately named these things as charms, because, well, they add a lot of charm to the game. A lot of them, like the Stumper here, are very cute, and it runs in contrast to the game’s intense, high stakes, a lot of times, dark theme. Normally, most Siege players actually dislike cute and loud skins, because it ruins the theme of the game. But surprisingly, even those players who dislike cute and colorful skins have no problems with cute charms like the Stumper.
That’s probably because charms are just a small part of the game or the player’s screen, so it’s not that obnoxious. With that said, if we’re talking about cute charms, then the Stumper is definitely one of them. It looks like a character straight out of a cartoon or small stuffed toy keychain that a boyfriend would give to his girlfriend. It would also be cool for trolling your enemies because when you kill them, they’ll see your camera, and they’ll see this charm smiling at them as if making fun of them for being killed.
How To Get Stumper:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Stumper
- Get it for 300 R6 Credits or 12,500 Renown
7. Zero Chibi
As mentioned above, operator charms are in a class of their own. There’s just something so endearing about seeing the operators that Siege players love in their miniature and cuter form. But of course, most Siege players like me still want to have some element of badassery even with their supposedly cute charms. That’s why this Zero charm is included in this list. It just captures the coolness and badassery that operator Sam Fisher a.k.a. Zero has while in his cute chibi form.
What’s great is that in this chibi charm, Zero is actively using his special goggles back from his days in the Splinter Cell series which is also a beloved game series from Ubisoft. This charm would definitely be great to have for Splinter Cell fans or even just by Zero fans in general. It’s a good reminder for every player that in Siege, remaining calm and collected but also knowing when to strike hard like Zero is the key to winning the match. It’s one of the most expensive charms in the game, but is definitely worth having.
How To Get Zero Chibi:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Zero Chibi
- Get it for 600 R6 Credits or 25,000 Renown
6. Dokkaebi Chibi
A list of the best charms in the game won’t be complete without Dokkaebi’s chibi charm. Much like Zero’s chibi charm above, Dokkaebi exudes a lot of charm, cuteness, as well as her typical cheeky, but fiery behavior. I’m sure those who are familiar with the cinematics involving Dokkaebi as well as her bio knows that she’s not just a reliable and skilled member of Team Rainbow. She’s also the youngest member, and sometimes, she can be hot-tempered and, as I’ve said, a bit cheeky.
This Dokkaebi chibi charm features her in her default operator uniform which is honestly one of the best default skins in the game. It’s tactical and its color scheme is quite good for camouflage in urban warfare. Having this Dokkaebi charm on your weapon is a good reminder that like Dokkaebi, you should remember to use every tool at your disposal and to gather intel first before pushing into the objective spot. And with all the intensity going on in the match, you should remember to have fun and be cool while you’re at it.
How To Get Dokkaebi Chibi:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Dokkaebi Chibi
- Get it for 600 R6 Credits or 25,000 Renown
5. 1
This is arguably the cheapest charm that you can get that is also badass and eye-catching. I say arguably because it only costs 1 R6 Credit, but to those who do not want to top up real money for microtransactions, this charm would be out of reach because it’s not available through Renown. With that said, if you have an R6 Credit to spare, you should definitely get this charm because, well, very few things in Ubisoft games exude badassery than the Rainbow Six’s logo.
With this charm, you’ll be showing your dedication to Rainbow Six. Sure, it may have problems here and there, and fans can disagree with some changes that the devs have made. But overall, Rainbow Six Siege is still one of the best mainstream multiplayer shooters out there and while it continues to be that, it has already made a legacy that is hard to surpass in the hearts of many gamers. I think this charm being named “1” isn’t just a reference to it costing only 1 R6 Credit, but also symbolizes that Rainbow Six is number one.
How To Get 1:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find 1
- Get it for 1 R6 Credits
4. Kunai
The Kunai is heavily associated with Azami because, well, that’s literally her special gadget. Her special gadget is called the Kiba Barrier and as its name implies, it’s a barrier which is formed out of the substance inside Azami’s Kunai. So out of all the operators in Siege, only Azami can use a Kunai. However, don’t mistake this charm as something that will only suit Azami. The Kunai have been a popular weapon most commonly used by one of the most mysterious figures in history.
And they are the ninjas of Japan. They’ve been featured in so many historical movies, shows, and even ones that are set in modern times such as Daredevil for example. The ninjas are some of the most enigmatic groups in history and to this day, people are fascinated by them. That’s why the Kunai makes it to this list. With this charm on your weapon, you could feel like you’re part of those elite ninja units that specialize in sabotage and stealth.
How To Get Kunai:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Kunai
- Get it for 480 R6 Credits or 20,000 Renown
3. Essential Gourd
Right off the bat, any experienced player who’ll see this will notice the icon in the middle and realize that it’s Grim’s icon. That doesn’t really make it something like a Grim-only charm though. First of all, it’s available to all operators and of course, all weapons that are attachable with charms. Secondly, while it has Grim’s official icon, it still looks good on weapons, no matter what operator you’re using. As its name implies, it’s a gourd, and it looks like an old school one and is adorned by feathers.
What this reminds me of are the gourds that soldiers used to store water during wartime, and that’s really important for soldiers like the operators in Rainbow Six. That’s why this charm is very appealing. It fits the narrative of Siege, because most of the operators have military backgrounds and have experienced real combat. This charm will remind you that you’re in an intense situation and the stakes are very high, so you should remember that combat discipline will help you win against your enemies.
How To Get Essential Gourd:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Essential Gourd
- Get it for 240 R6 Credits or 10,000 Renown
2. Papercup Coffee
The Papercup Coffee charm ranks so high in this list because it’s just simply fun to see on a player’s weapon. It may have a simple design, I mean, it’s pretty much a cup of coffee, but on its charm form, it’s actually pretty cute and eye-catching. Its color-scheme would also be in contrast to most default weapon skins or even bought ones, so it will be easy to see most of the time. I think the best way to describe this charm is that it’s pleasant to the eyes, which is what any player would want in their charms.
For me, this charm is also a good reminder to stay awake, and I don’t mean that literally of course. Unless you’re really lacking in sleep while you’re playing, obviously, you’re awake during the match. But there are times when players are caught sleeping so to speak, and what that means is that their minds are not that alert. In Siege, those moments can prove fatal because enemies could appear at any time. That’s why this Papercup Coffee charm is a good reminder to always be alert and ready to react at any point in the game.
How To Get Papercup Coffee:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Papercup Coffee
- Get it for 240 R6 Credits or 10,000 Renown
1. Vigil Chibi
The Vigil chibi charm tops this list because it just has everything that a player would want in their charm. It’s badass because, well, it’s Vigil, one of the most badass and mysterious looking operators in Siege, especially with his ballistic mask that I frankly never seen taken off in all my years in Siege. Despite the charm being in Vigil’s default uniform and headgear, it looks awesome because the whole 707th Special Mission Battalion’s uniform just exudes a lot of badassery and cool.
Not to mention that Vigil is in a really cool pose in this charm too, and with his dagger out, he looks like a straight up ninja. Perhaps the only downside to this charm is that it’s mostly dark gray or black, so if your weapon has the same color scheme, it can be quite hard to see. The solution is easy though, just start using a brighter colored skin on your weapon, or at least a skin that has a bright color around the area where the charms are attached. With this charm, the user is reminded that one of the biggest factors to winning in Siege is stealth and patience.
How To Get Vigil Chibi:
- From the Main Menu go to Shop
- In the Shop Menu go to Charms
- Find Vigil Chibi
- Get it for 600 R6 Credits or 25,000 Renown
