Top 10 R6 Siege best Long Range Guns

Rainbow Six Siege gameplay is set up as something like a special operations mission in an urban area, that’s why most encounters are in close range and there’s no need to implement bullet-drop like in Battlefield. But even with the close-range nature of this game, we are still treated to some of the most badass designated marksman rifles in the game world.

10. 9mm C1

Alright, I know I mentioned designated marksman rifles in the introduction, but Frost’s 9mm C1 deserves a special mention. This low recoil gun is great for long-range strafing because of its stability. It also has an extended barrel which greatly reduces the range damage penalty, meaning that even at long range, this gun will still inflict high damage. You can also attach a suppressor to it which will also be good for long-range strafing because suppressors remove the directional threat indicator and the muzzle flash. Meaning unless they physically see you, your opponents won’t have an idea where they’re being shot from.

What makes 9mm C1 great:

Attachment options
Low recoil

Weapon stats:

Damage – 45
Fire Rate – 575
Mobility – 50
Capacity - 34

9. AR-15.50

The designated marksman rifle for Glaz. One of the most underrated. Probably because Glaz himself is underrated. This DMR is the one that is easiest to get a headshot with because of its thermal scope. Despite the nerf, this author stands by his claim that it’s the best long-range gun in Siege, especially because the player possesses the ability to remove the thermal scope whenever he wants and be effective in close-range too when the situation calls for him to engage in close quarters combat.

What makes Ots-03 great:

Heavy damage
Thermal scope
Stable recoil
Customizable in real time

Weapon stats:

Damage – 71
Mobility – 36
Capacity - 15

Attention operator, please be advised. There is a new directive from Six. Read up on these related articles, and prepare for deployment:

[Top 15] R6 Most Expensive Skins That Look Freakin' Awesome

Skins in Rainbow Six Siege are a major part of the game because it’s a big part of how the game is being supported. Sales from the skins are obviously good for the game, and even if you buy them with the in-game currency which is renown, you’re still supporting the game a lot by spending your time playing it and earning renown. But having awesome skins in the game isn’t just for supporting

[Top 10] Rainbow Six Siege Best Weapons for Suppressor

Suppressors are the most underrated muzzle attachments in Siege. The most obvious reason is that it lessens the weapon’s damage and it doesn’t add any recoil benefit. But for some situations and some guns, the benefits that suppressor provides outweighs its drawbacks. And in this article, we will discuss what those guns are and why they can greatly benefit from suppressors. 10. SC3000K

[Top 5] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Amaru Loadouts That Are Excellent

Amaru is the fastest operator when it comes to rushing when the objective spot is on a higher floor of the mission building. That’s because she can use her special gadget, the Garra Hook, to pull herself towards one of the objective spot’s windows all the way through inside. The problem with that tactic is that usually, Amaru will have no idea how the enemies are positioned once she enters th

[Top 5] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Melusi Loadouts That Are Excellent

Melusi is definitely one of the most troublesome defenders in the game, mainly due to the fact that her special gadgets, the Banshee Sonic Defense, remain bulletproof when they’re not active, and she has three of them. They will only be active when an attacker goes within its area-of-effect, but doing so will greatly slow him down and the Banshee will produce a distinct sound that will alert the

[Top 5] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Twitch Loadouts That Are Excellent

Twitch is one of the most tactical operators in Siege and can play a variety of roles. With her special gadget, the Shock Drone, which can shoot lasers and disable enemy gadgets, she can play the role of a hard breach enabler. Of course, since the Shock Drones are still drones, they can also be used to gather intel on enemy positions or act as bait. What makes Twitch unique compared to most int

[Top 5] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Jaeger Loadouts That Are Excellent

Despite the nerfs on his ADS, it's still the most effective special gadget when it comes to countering enemy projectiles. After all, it completely destroys them, while Wamai's Mag-NETS only pull enemy projectiles towards them. So in many cases, the enemy projectile, especially if it's a frag grenade, can still do damage to Defender gadgets. But with Jager's ADS, it's completely destroyed in the ai

[Top 10] Rainbow Six Siege Best Operators for Terrorist Hunt

Although the terrorist hunt mode has now been renamed as training grounds, and the bombers have been removed. This mode is still quite challenging, especially on realistic difficulty. It’s a great way to practice cursor placement when headshots-only is enabled, and it’s also the best way to experiment on which attachments suit your play style more. But there are also groups out there that take

10. Solis + Fenrir + Kapkan + Melusi + Maestro Right off the bat, veteran Siege players will probably notice the lack of hard breach denial here, and that's right. That’s because there are objective spots that you’ll play in competitive matches that don't really require much hard breach denial. So for objective spots like that, it’s better to not pick a hard breach denial operator at al

25. Counter Shield Operators https://youtu.be/JtWvz77LMPM?t=62 Oryx is one of the most underrated operators because his pick rate is on the low end even though he’s pretty much the most versatile defender in the game and certainly an S-tier roamer. One of the abilities that only he possesses is his ability to knock down shield operators, even Siege’s famous big boy, Montagne. Whenever he hit

[Top 5] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Gridlock Loadouts That Are Excellent

Gridlock received some big changes to his loadout options in the past two seasons and that’s why her loadout warrants an update.

That’s why in this article, we’re reexamining the best loadout combinations that pla

[Top 10] R6 Best Crowd Control Operators

10. Clash (Intel, Crowd Control) Clash is a great crowd control operator because with her, the defending team will have a good handle on enemy positions and she’s great at locking down enemies at an angle, or at least, greatly slowing them down. With Clash holding an angle or a spot, the attackers will have a lot of trouble taking control of an area, therefore, they’d be forced to take ot

[Top 15] R6 Best Beginner Operators To Play

15. Mute (Anti-Gadget, Crowd Control) It may surprise many that Mute is included in this list. But that’s because the way veteran players usually play Mute is very advanced and would indeed not be great for beginners. The way veteran players play mute is to have him carry the M590A1 shotgun as his primary and the SMG-11 as his secondary. Obviously, beginners will have a hard time with it du

The 9th year of Siege opens up with Operation Deadly Omen which brings us some of the biggest changes that Siege ever had, particularly when it comes to how weapons and attachments work.

Ace is one of the few operators in the game which specializes in hard brea

Have you seen that Siege meme that basically says Siege is hard and that you'll be dead when you expose 4 pixels of your character? It’s all for laughs but there’s some truth to it. In Siege, especially in the higher ranks, the player who sees his opponent first usually wins. And Field of view directly affects your ability to see your enemies. And in this article, we will be discussing this ve

Castle used to be a very underrated operator, but with the recent buff that made him able to carry four Armor Panels, his pick rate rose and deservingly so. Castle have always been one of the best operators in Siege even when he only had three Armor Panels. He could use them to fortify a weak angle or create choke points. Whenever possible, I reserve one Armor Panel in case of situations where a

[Top 10] R6 Best Anti-Gadget Operators

10. Mozie (Anti-Gadget, Intel) Mozie’s special gadget is called the Pest Launcher and it allows him to deploy tiny bots called pests. He can deploy a total of three pests, and when any attacker drone, including Twitch’s Shock Drones and Brava’s Kludge Drones, enter their radius, they’ll be hacked by the pest bots and will be converted to defender drones. Though only Mozie can move the

[Top 5] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Dokkaebi Loadouts That Are Excellent

Dokkaebi is one of the most popular operators in Siege, that is why Ubisoft includes her in many of the Siege short movies. And her popularity is well deserved because she's one of the most powerful and useful operators in the game. With her logic bomb which can compromise enemy locations, and she can even hack a dead Defender's phone, allowing her and her whole team access to all Defender camer
