10. Lion
Lion is one of the best entry fraggers in the game because his special gadget, the EE-ONE-D, heavily discourages enemies from moving, and those who will keep moving while the EE-ONE-D scans will get pinged for several seconds, and that ping will be visible to the whole attacking team. So most defenders will stay put while the Lion's EE-ONE-D is active, and that means that Lion and his teammates can gain a lot of ground by pushing while the defenders are staying put in their position. Having some form of control over your opponents' movements is a really powerful ability to have in Siege.
On top of that, Lion has a wide variety of choices for his primary weapon, secondary weapon, and generic gadget. He also has an almost perfect weapon in the V308 assault rifle because of its heavy firepower, very manageable recoil, wide variety of attachments, and huge magazine capacity. With the V308 assault rifle, he can fire a lot of rounds before having to stop for a reload, and that really makes him a powerful entry fragger. He can also bring three stun grenades into the round which further augments his entry fragging abilities.
What Makes Lion a Great Entry Fragger:
- He can force defenders to stop moving during his EE-ONE-D scans because the defenders who will keep moving will be pinged instead
- His V308 assault rifle is one of the best weapons in Siege due to its heavy stopping power, low recoil, wide variety of attachments, and high magazine capacity
- He can bring three stun grenades into the round and it's great for entry fragging because she can lead with the stun grenades before clearing the room of enemies
- If the player wants to, he can also equip the SG-CQB shotgun which is great for entry fragging for players who excel in using shotguns

9. Finka
Finka is a great entry fragger whether he's attacking solo or with her teammates, but of course, it's when she's pushing with her teammates that her potential is maximized. That's because before pushing to the objective spot, she can make the whole attacking team tougher by adding more health points to each of them using her Adrenal Surge. The Adrenal Surge also provides the whole attacking team with a variety of buffs such as being able to walk over barbed wires faster, more resistance to tinnitus, as well as faster reload and ADS speed.
But wait, there's more. Upon activation of Finka's Adrenal Surge, any attackers suffering from concussion effects will have it removed, and attackers including herself, who are in a down-but-not-out state will be revived. This is why Finka is quite hard to stop if you don't hit her with a headshot first. Another reason why Finka is one of the best entry fraggers around is that her Spear .308 assault rifle is a great weapon with heavy damage, manageable recoil, and has a scope 2.0x which will allow Finka to target her enemies more effectively.
What Makes Finka a Great Entry Fragger:
- She can make herself and the rest of the attacking team much tougher with the additional health points from her Adrenal Surge
- With her Adrenal Surge she and the whole attacking team will have great buffs like being able to walk over barbed wires faster, quicker reload, and more resistance to tinnitus and blind effects
- Upon activation of the Adrenal Surge, concussion effects on the attacking team will be removed and operators who are in a down-but-not-out state will be revived
- Her Spear .308 assault rifle is great for entry fragging because of its heavy damage, manageable recoil, scope 2.0x, and fast rate of fire

8. Thermite
Thermite is a great entry fragger as well as a hard breacher because his special gadget for hard breaching, the Exothermic Charge, works quite fast and it completely destroys a wall. That means that he and his teammates won't have to vault or crouch in order to enter the breach, and that's very important because the vault and crouch action can leave attackers vulnerable for a few seconds. And after he's performed his hard breacher role, Thermite can clear the room quite effectively due to the weapons and utilities available to him.
His 556XI assault rifle is great for clearing the room of enemies due to its high stopping power, very manageable recoil, and scopes that provide high levels of zoom. On top of that, both of the generic gadgets available to him; the stun grenades and the smoke grenades, are great for entry fragging because the stun grenades are excellent for taking away the enemies' vision and hearing, and the smoke grenades are great for providing cover and distraction for the whole attacking team's push. Overall, Thermite is a very solid entry fragger with heavy firepower and useful utilities.
What Makes Thermite a Great Entry Fragger:
- His Exothermic Charge works fast, not giving much time for defenders to react, and it completely destroys a wall so that attackers don't have to breach or vault when entering the breach
- His 556XI assault rifle is a great weapon for entry fragging due to its heavy stopping power, very manageable recoil, and scopes that provide high levels of zoom
- He has 2-health and 2-speed rating which allows him to move quickly while maintaining a decent amount of toughness
- His stun grenades are great for entry fragging because they're excellent at robbing the enemies of their vision and hearing

7. Amaru
When it comes to taking advantage of the element of surprise, Amaru is the best, and for that, she's one of the best entry fraggers. She's not a 3-speed rating operator but she's the fastest when it comes to rushing because of her special gadget, the Garra Hook. Her Garra Hook allows her to pull herself quickly in order to gain access to higher floors of the mission building. It's the utility that allows her to go through one of the windows of the objective spot within just a few seconds the round starting if it's located on a floor that is higher than the first.
Because of Amaru, defenders really have to finish setting up the objective spot within the preparation phase. Otherwise, they risk the chance of getting killed by her rushing through the objective spot using her Garra Hook. Once she's in, she can get a lot of kills through her G8A1 light machine gun which has a huge magazine capacity, very decent damage per shot, and manageable recoil. She also has access to the SMG-11 machine pistol which is a great alternative weapon when her G8A1 needs to be reloaded in the middle of an enemy engagement.
What Makes Amaru a Great Entry Fragger:
- She can get inside the objective spot within a few seconds of the round because her Garra Hook allows her to pull herself quickly towards higher floors of the mission building
- Her G8A1 light machine gun is a great weapon with high damage, huge magazine capacity, manageable recoil, and it can be reloaded quickly due to its detachable magazine
- Her SMG-11 machine pistol allows her to keep firing on enemies when her G8A1 needs to reload and this is very important when she's rushing because she'll be dealing with multiple enemies
- She can bring three stun grenades and they're great for entry fragging because they can blind and deafen enemies

6. Gridlock
A lot of people might be surprised by Gridlock's inclusion in this list because she's a heavy armored operator. Meaning she has 3-heath rating, therefore, she can't move quickly like 2-speed or 3-speed operators do. However, I maintain that she's a great entry fragger because upon entry in the room that she needs to clear to take control of, she can quickly block the flanking spots with her special gadget, the Trax Stingers. Being able to block flanking spots is great for entry fragging because that means that the attackers will only have to focus on dealing with enemies in one direction.
The great thing is, she has four Trax Stingers, and each of them can cover a large area with barbed mats, so not only can Gridlock block a flanking spot upon entry, she can block multiple. And when it comes to fragging enemies, Gridlock has a great weapon in the F90 assault rifle due to its very manageable recoil, high damage, and availability of scopes 2.5x and 2.0x. She can also destroy a pesky bulletproof gadget with her gonne-6 hand cannon, and if the player chooses to, she can run with the Super Shorty shotgun as her secondary weapon which she can use for creating entry spots on unreinforced walls or hatches.
What Makes Gridlock a Great Entry Fragger:
- She can block flanking spots with her four Trax Stingers and each of them can cover a large area in barbed mats that will damage enemies who will step over them
- Her F90 assault rifle is great for entry fragging due to its high damage, manageable recoil, fast rate of fire, and compatibility with the scopes 2.0x and 2.5x
- Her M249 Saw is also a great weapon for suppressive fire even with the recoil progression overhaul due to its huge magazine capacity and quick reload from its detachable magazine
- Her gonne-6 hand cannon is really useful for entry fragging because it can destroy one troublesome bulletproof defender gadget

5. Ying
Ying's special gadget, the Candela, in which she has four of, is one of the most terrifying entry fragging devices in the game. That's because when a Candela detonates near you, no matter how much you turn your back from it or hide behind an object, it's close to impossible not to get blinded by it. That's why when defenders don't have a Jager or Wamai that can counter her Candelas, Ying can easily clear a room even with two to three enemies inside. On top of that, Ying has control on when she wants her Candelas to detonate because she can "cook" them frag-grenade style.
That means she can delay the detonation of her Candelas for a bit to time with her entry, or she can have them pop off immediately after landing. She can even deploy them Cluster Charge-style on breakable surfaces such as barricaded windows, doors, and unreinforced walls. As for fragging her enemies, she has the perfect weapon for entry fragging in the T-95 LSW because despite being a light machine gun, its recoil is very manageable and it can be reloaded quite fast due to its detachable magazine. It also inflicts high damage per shot and is compatible with scopes 1.5x, 2.0x, and 2.5x.
What Makes Ying a Great Entry Fragger:
- It's close to impossible to avoid being blinded by her Candelas when they pop off near you, so the only way to counter her really is with a Jager or Wamai
- Her Candelas can be "cooked" frag-grenade style so she can delay their detonation a bit or have them pop off almost immediately upon landing
- She can also deploy her Candelas Cluster Charge-style on breakable surfaces such as unreinforced walls, wooden floors, and barricaded windows.
- Her T-95 LSW is perfect for entry fragging because of its high damage, manageable recoil, huge magazine capacity, and quick reload due to its detachable magazine

4. Buck
Buck is one of the fastest entry fraggers around because he can create an entry point on an unreinforced wall with just one or two just from his special gadget, the Skeleton Key under barrel shotgun. It's the most destructive shotgun in the game, so it's great for opening entry points as well as destroying wooden floors for a vertical attack. And vertical plays are where Buck is usually used, and understandably so, because he's very effective at it. But he's also great at entry fragging, especially when it comes to using the element of surprise.
As mentioned before, all Buck has to do is to open an entry point on an unreinforced wall near the objective spot and after that, he and his teammates can enter and proceed on clearing the room. Since it won't create as much noise as Ash's Breaching Rounds, Buck can really surprise his enemies, especially since he can make quick work of them using his C8-SFW assault rifle. The C8-SFW has a fast rate of fire, heavy damage per shot, and manageable recoil. On top of that, it's compatible with a lot of attachments including suppressors, extended barrels, and scopes that provide high levels of zoom.
What Makes Buck a Great Entry Fragger:
- The element of surprise is on his side because he can create an entry point with just one or two shots from his Skeleton Key under barrel shotgun
- His C8-SFW is a great assault rifle which is compatible to a wide variety of attachments, inflicts high damage per shot, and has a very manageable recoil
- Before pushing, he can also lead with the three stun grenades which is great for blinding enemies and removing their sense of hearing
- He can equip the gonne-6 hand cannon as his secondary weapon and it's very useful for disabling a troublesome bulletproof defender gadget

3. Sledge
Like Buck above, Sledge specializes in using the element of surprise to his advantage when it comes to entry fragging. With his Tactical Breaching Hammer, he can create an entry point on an unreinforced wall or hatch, more silently than Buck with his Skeleton Key under barrel shotgun or Ash with her Breaching Rounds. Because of this, Sledge is very effective at rushing, despite his now 3-health rating which makes him a bit slower than before. His weapons and utilities are also perfect for entry fragging after he's entered the mission building using his Tactical Breaching Hammer.
His L85A2 assault rifle is an excellent weapon for entry fragging due to its heavy damage per shot, low recoil, and compatibility with scopes that provide higher levels of zoom. Sledge is also one of the few attackers that can run with the frag grenades which are excellent utilities for scoring kills or forcing defenders out of their hiding spots. And if the player wants to, Sledge also has access to the stun grenades which are always great utilities for entry fragging since they're very effective at blinding and deafening enemies.
What Makes Sledge a Great Entry Fragger:
- With his Tactical Breaching Hammer, he can create an entry point on an unreinforced wall in relative silence, which usually surprises defenders
- Sledge can bring two frag grenades into the round and they're great for straight up scoring kills or forcing defenders out of their entrenched positions
- His L85A2 assault rifle is great for entry fragging because Sledge can manage its recoil well, it inflicts high damage per shot, and is compatible to a wide variety of attachments
- Sledge can run with the stun grenades which are always great for room clearing because they can blind and deafen enemies before Sledge and his teammates pushes

2. Zofia
Zofia is a very versatile operator that can play multiple roles and one of them is entry fragging, and she's great at it. That's because like Buck and Sledge above, she can also quickly create an entry point on an unreinforced wall through the use of the impact grenades that she can shoot with her special gadget, the KS79 Lifeline. She can shoot a total of two impact grenades and two concussion grenades from her special gadget and even the concussion grenades are great for entry fragging because they can heavily disorient enemies that are hiding in corners or behind objects.
As for fragging her enemies, Zofia has a great assault rifle in the M762 because it has a heavy stopping power, very manageable recoil, and is compatible with a wide variety of attachments. Her RG15 handgun is also a great secondary weapon when her M762 needs to reload in the middle of combat because it has the Romeo1 Reflex sight which provides the user with good accuracy, even for medium to long-range shooting. Zofia can bring in two claymores into the round and it's great for protecting himself or her teammates from defenders who will use flanking spots while they're clearing out the room.
What Makes Zofia a Great Entry Fragger:
- She can quickly open an entry point near the objective spot using the impact grenade that she can shoot with her KS79 Lifeline special gadget
- She can also shoot two concussion grenades from her KS79 Lifeline and they're great for disorienting enemies that are hiding behind cover
- Her RG15 handgun is a great alternative weapon for when her primary needs to reload in the middle of combat, due to its Romeo1 Reflex sight with provides the user with great accuracy

1. Ash
After so many years, ash remains as one of the most powerful entry fraggers in the game. That's because she brings a combination of speed and firepower to the table. With her 3-speed rating, it's very easy for her to move around, and while her light armor means that it would take fewer shots to bring her down, because of her 3-speed rating, it's also harder to hit her. Combine that with her Breaching Round special gadget which can create a large entry point on unreinforced walls near the objective spot, Ash is definitely one of the fastest and most effective entry fraggers around.
But it's not just her speed and special gadget that makes her excel at this role. Her choices for weaponry and utilities are what really makes up her entry fragging capabilities. Her G36C can be equipped with a scope 1.5x which is just perfect for the range that Ash usually operates in. It has high damage per shot, and its recoil is very manageable. As for her Breaching Rounds, they're not only good for creating entry points. They can also be used by Ash to get rid of at least two troublesome bulletproof defender gadgets like Maestro's Evil Eye or Melusi's Banshees, and the ability to destroy bulletproof enemy gadgets is always great to have for an entry fragger.
What Makes Ash a Great Entry Fragger:
- Her 3-speed rating allows her to move very quickly and avoid being easily hit by enemy gunfire, it also allows her to surprise enemies with a rush
- Her Breaching Rounds are perfect for creating entry points on unreinforced walls and also for destroying defender bulletproof utilities
- Her G36C is an excellent assault rifle that can be equipped with a scope 1.5x, has high damage per shot, and has a very manageable weapon kick
- Like Zofia above, Ash can also bring two claymores into the round and it's always great for countering flankers while Ash and his team are pushing
