Rainbow 6 Siege Best Defender Loadouts 

Kapkan Best Loadout

Kapkan – Escaping The Family Routine Of Working In A Factory, Kapkan Enlisted In The Ministry of Internal Affairs And Was Sent To The Arctic Circle Where He Became An Expert Trapper.

Primary: 9x19VSN Submachine Gun

Kapkan’s submachine has 34 damage and 30 rounds per magazine with a rate of fire of 750 RPM. The recoil is pretty standard so I would put on a vertical grip and compensator. The shotgun gun option and a ridiculous recoil are just not worth your time in my opinion. With no ACOG option I would go with the red dot option, though you can go with the reflex or Holo sight it really just depends on what reticle you like.

Secondary: GSH-18

Same secondary loadout as the other Spetsnaz operators. GSH-18 with a muzzle break.

Gadget: Nitro cell

Now Kapkan can use either impact grenades or a nitro cell. I am still partial to the nitro cell here because you can counter shields or open hatches or walls if you need to. My rule is that if the other team is running a shield I will use a nitro cell. If they are not using a shield, then I can impact grenades instead.

Tachanka Best Loadout

Our Lord Tachanka – Coming From The Age In A Pre-Glasnost Red Army Has Made Him Keep His Interest In Soviet Machinery And Weaponry.

Primary: 9x19VSN Submachine Gun

If you like to run with Tachanka (and you are not throwing a round) then you might be the only one. He might be the butt of a lot of Rainbow Six Siege jokes, but his loadout is the same as Kapkan so just stick with the submachine gun and do not touch that shotgun.

Secondary: GSH-18

Still not change here.

Gadget: Deployable Shield

There is nothing more satisfying than embarrassing the other team by killing them with Tachanka’s mounted light machine gun. With that said the deployable shield can help protect you while you are laying down lead in the attacker’s direction.

Jäger Best Loadout

Jäger – Has Seen Action As A Helicopter Operator and Technology Advisor. He Is Also A Veteran Of Anti-Piracy Operations In The Indian Ocean.

Primary: 416-C Carbine

This assault rifle will give you a pretty decent 43 damage and 30 rounds coming at 740 RPM. The 416-C is a great all around weapon with good stats and mobility. Attach a vertical grip, suppressor, and holo sight. This weapon was even better when you could equip an ACOG, but those days are over. The suppressor will help you roam. Jäger’s ADSs are a drop and forget ability, and his 3 speed stat makes him a great roaming option. Since you will be trying to pick off the other team, stay silent and equip that silencer.

Secondary: P12 Pistol

This is the same pistol as Blitz and IQ, plus it is the only option for Jäger as well. Equip the muzzle to ensure recoil control.

Gadget: Barbed Wire

Since chances are you will be roaming, lay down some barbed wire at key points to give you, or your teammates, a heads up on enemy movement.

Bandit Best Loadout

Bandit – Is A Former Undercover Agent That Can Take Obsolete Items And Repurpose Them. He Spent His Undercover Time With Hannover Hells Angels.

Primary: MP7 Submachine Gun

Bandit and Jäger both have the option for the M870 Shotgun, but you will not use it more than likely. Especially with Bandit, since he has the MP7 which is one of the best defender weapons. The MP7 has 32 damage, but has a stunning 900 RPM rate of fire with 30 rounds to play with. This weapon has a built in vertical grip and does not allow for another option. I like the red dot sight on this weapon and a compensator to win those gun fights.

Secondary: P12 Pistol

Yep the same as the other German operators.

Gadget: Nitro cell

Bandit also has 3 speed, which makes him a viable roaming option. The nitro cell will come in handy if you can pick out a shield to counter. Also useful for opening up walls or floors as you roam.

Frost Best Loadout

Frost – This Combat Systems Officer Is a Focused And Meticulous Planner.

Primary: 9mm C1 Submachine Gun

Now Frost’s primary options are both really good. On one hand you have the 9mm C1 which has 43 damage and 34 rounds per clip. On the other hand, the down fall is a slower rate of fire at 575 RPM. The recoil is better than some and you can only equip an angle grip so that decision is already made. As for the barrel, you can either go with an extended barrel or a suppressor. I do not like to sacrifice damage with the frost so I will go with the extended barrel and a reflex. One point I have not made yet is I also like the reflex sight because you can put the tip of the triangle on the head of you target for a quick kill.

Secondary: MK1 9mm Pistol

This is the same sidearm as Buck and it is the only option, so…that was easy. Muzzle break for insurance on recoil. 

Gadget: Deployable Shield

The best part of using Frost with deployable shields is that you can put your frost trap on the opposite side of the attackers (put the shield in a doorway). Doing this will make the attackers jump over the shield and into your waiting trap, easy kill.
