Rainbow 6 Siege Best Defender Loadouts

Valkyrie Best Loadout

Valkyrie – She Was One Of the First Women To Be Hand Picked To Join The SEALs. Before That She Was Serving As a Naval Intelligence Officer.

Primary: SPAS-12 Shotgun

The SPAS-12 is my option for Valkyries because her submachine gun has the 3^rd lowest damage in the game (26) and the SPAS will help you emplace your cameras as well. Equip a laser for a tighter spread and a reflex sight just to have an aim point, but I do not think it is absolutely necessary.

Secondary: D-50

This beast is the same as Blackbeard and is the only for Valkyrie as well.

Gadget: Nitro Cell

Beside for countering shields, which you all know is a perk of nitro cells by now. With your cameras in position you can get a bead on the attackers and determine the best way to flank and surprise them with a nitro cell.

Caveira Best Loadout

Caveira – After Being Arrested At The Age Of 16 For Robbery, Caveira Was Given A choice Between Jail and Military Service.

Primary: M12 Submachine Gun

Caveira’s best primary is going to be the M12 it has 32 damage with a 30 round clip. It does have a slower rate of fire like Frost at 550 RPM, but the recoil is manageable and it is a better option than the SPAS-15 shotgun. The SPAS-15 only have 30 damage and 6 shells per clip. Mix that with a recoil that is off the charts even for a shotgun and the choice is pretty clear. Reflex sight and compensator are my attachments of choice for this primary option.

Secondary: LUISON Silenced Pistol

Caveira is no kidding the roamer of all of the defenders. She was made for it with her silent footstep ability and special silenced pistol as her secondary (which is your only option). However, the damage is an impressive 99 and 15 rounds in the clip. The recoil is not extreme either, about the same as an assault rifle. The only attachment you can add is a laser, but I would leave that off.

Gadget: Impact Grenades

As stated above Caveira is the ultimate roamer, so impact grenades are the clear choice here.

Echo Best Loadout

Echo – Has A Knack For Robotics And Grew Up In Japan’s Central Hub Of Animation Studios And Technology Companies. Echo Joined the National Police Academy Specializing In Recon Operations.

Primary: MP5SD Submachine Gun

Echo, like Frost, has 2 good options for the primary. The supernova shotgun is a good choice with 48 damage and very low recoil for a shotgun. Equip a laser and reflex on it and you can wreck some havoc. However, all that said the MP5SD still has the edge. This submachine gun only has 30 damage, but it has a built in silencer, and has a high recoil compared to other submachine guns. However, the beauty of the MP5SD is that you can equip an ACOG on it to hold long angles after you get the attackers position from your drone. Attach the vertical grip to help tame that recoil a little bit.

Secondary: Bearing 9 Machine Pistol

If you did want to roll with the Supernova you have one of the best sidearms in the game in the Bearing 9. It should sound familiar because it is the same as Hibana. It has 33 damage and an 1100 RPM rate of fire which makes it the perfect back up to a shotgun. Even if you are going with the MP5SD this is still the sidearm of choice because it can melt defender’s faces right off. I like the reflex sight and a compensator on this one for ease of a longer trigger pull.

Gadget: Deployable Shield

It can be a toss-up between the shield or the barbed wire, but you can use the shields for cover as you employ your drone.

Mira Best Loadout

Mira – With A Great Ability To Spot And Fix Mechanical Defects On Automobile Engines, Mira Uses That Expertise To Develop Bulletproof Materials For the G.E.O.

Primary: Vector .45 ACP Submachine Gun

While the “ok” shotgun (ITA12L) option is the same as Jackal, the Vector .45 is totally different, plus it’s a good weapon. That is not to say that Jackal’s weapon was bad, Mira just need to be played in a different style there for she needs a different weapon. The Vector might be the lowest damage in the game at 21, but it makes up for it in its rate for fire (1200 RPM) and a very low recoil. Mira should be peeking in her windows to detect and engage unsuspecting attackers. The Vector’s fast rate of fire allows for just that. I use the reflex sight for peeking purposes and I tend to hold the trigger so I equip the compensator as well. You do have an under barrel option, but it is limited to the vertical grip, which is what I would want anyway.

Secondary: ITA12S Shotgun

Mira has the same shotgun sidearm as Jackal and it is even more effective in her hands. When you emplace a Mira window you can then shoot out the wall next to it, or around it (if you put it on a soft wall). This shotgun blows huge holes in soft walls and will make quick work of any remodeling that you might need to do.

Gadget: Nitro Cell

Use the holes around the windows to lob a nitro cell unto an attackers lap and detonate it behind the safety of your window.

Lesion Best Loadout

Lesion – After Working In A Shipyard And Seeing His Father Injured Lesion Went To Work For Various Hazardous Jobs In Demolition Until Joined The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau.

Primary: T-5 SMG

When I first used this weapon I did not know what to think about it. It has a pretty fast rate of fire at 900 RPM and 30 damage. I felt like the recoil would be pretty bad every time I pulled the trigger. But, in reality the recoil is very manageable and goes straight up and down. The red dot sight is great for getting on target, though it is personnel preference on the reticle style that you like. There is no under barrel option and I would recommend a compensator to help with the faster rate of fire. There is the SIX12 SD shotgun option, but just stay away from that.

Secondary: Q-929

Same as Ying, great damage and 10 rounds per clip. Slight kick so equip a muzzle break.

Gadget: Impact Grenades

The toxic mines Lesion can lay down will have an icon appear over them that he can see. Use this to your advantage and you can know where the enemy is. Open up a hole with your impact grenades next to the infected attacker and you have an easy kill that no one saw coming.

Ela Best Loadout

Ela – Is The Sister Of Zofia, And Their Father Was The Commander Of Poland’s Counter-Terrorism Unit. After Being Bullied Most Of Her Childhood, Ela Rose To Be An Elite Operator In Poland’s Special Forces Before Being Recruited Into Rainbow.

Primary: Scorpion EVO 3 A1 Submachine Gun

Even though this submachine gun has seen nerfs since its release, it is still a good weapon (definitely better than the FO-12 Shotgun). It was nerfed down to 23 damage, but still puts out 1080 RPM and holds 40 rounds per magazine. Not too much recoil on here, but I still like the vertical to give more stability in my shots and round it off with a reflex sight and flash hider for firing in short bursts.

Secondary: RG15 Pistol

Same as Zofia, this pistol comes with a built in reflex sight and 38 damage with 15 rounds per clip. Again the recoil is pretty high so add a muzzle break.

Gadget: Barbed Wire

I like the barbed wire with Ela, since chances are you are going to go off site with her. The barbed wired will allow for enemies to be detected without having to see them, since you will hear them first.

Vigil Best Loadout

Vigil – Was A Child On The Run In Asia And Lost His Family Before Finding Refuge In South Korea. He Later Joined The Navy And Earned A Spot In The Korean UDT/SEALs Before Joining Rainbow.

Primary: K1A Submachine Gun

The K1A might be one of my favorite defender weapons, personally. It might not have the highest damage (30) or the fastest rate of fire (720). But, it does have 30 rounds per magazine and it just feels smooth. Maybe it’s the lower recoil, but I just really like this weapons a lot. Since Vigil is a roamer I like to run with a silencer and vertical grip. The sight is again up to personal preference, but I like the reflex because I think the aiming is easier with the triangle. The BOSG.12.2 Shotgun is a high risk, high reward weapon. It has the highest damage in the game at 125 and decent range, but you only have 2 shots before reload.

Secondary: SMG-12

As I said before with Dokkaebi, this is a really good sidearm and might be one of the best for defenders. The 28 damage is compensated for the 1270 RPM rate of fire and still holds 32 rounds per clip. Vertical grip and reflex sight should finish this one off.

Gadget: Impact Grenades

Equip Impacts to open those avenues or approach and surprise enemy attackers, nothing better.
