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:

15. Music Volume Now while Siege’s background music sounds really cool, badass, and gives you a lot of special ops/law enforcement vibes, you only really need to hear them a few times. Each map has their own background music at the start of the round, and while it gradually disappears as the action phase starts, it can distract you from hearing important sounds. Sounds like Kapkan deploying hi

Team Rainbow’s master interrogator. She’s the definition of intense. Every attacking team should be wary when they detect a Cav in the opposing team, because that means that it’ll be too dangerous for some of them to flank, not to mention go solo hunting. When Cav is around, more often than not, the hunter becomes the hunted. Her loadouts, especially her unique handgun, the ‘Luison’, par

Caveira is among the few operators in the game who has access to more than one special ability, and that’s what makes her such a dreaded roamer. She has the Silent Step ability which, as its name says, silences her footsteps. This ability works even when she’s sprinting, and this allows her to go from one place to another with both speed and stealth. Her other ability is the Interrogation w

Thorn is the newest operator in Rainbow Six Siege. She came with Operation High Calibre, and she came with a new gun too. The UZK50GI. A submachine gun that is unique to her. She adds a lot to the game with this new gun and her panic-inducing special gadget, the Razorbloom Shells. They may sound pretty, but trust me, they’re not. 5.

Ying is one of the best operators in the front line and for taking map control. That's because she can lead the push with her special gadget, the Candela Device, in which she has four of.

She also has very powerful weapons in her arsenal that work really well in conjunction

Your highness has been the butt of jokes for years until Ubisoft finally gave in and reworked him. Unpopular opinion, but he was actually a really good operator already even before.

However, the other weapons and gadgets available to him shouldn

Siege’s gameplay revolves around each operators’ unique gadgets and most of them are made of electronics.

Blackbeard is one of the oldest operators in Siege, and despite all the nerfs he’s had throughout the years, his popularity remained high.

That’s because if you’re a Siege player and want your clip to be featured in the Jager Himself channel, you can email it to him. That results in a comp

The advantage of this is that he doesn

One of the best gadget disablers in Siege. Her shock drone is a pain in the ass to defenders. Sometimes literally, when defenders are reinforcing. Get it? Lol.

And Twitch comes equipped with multiple loadout c

There are three operators in the game who have special gadgets dedicated to hard breaching, and some attackers have hard breach charges as one of their choices for their generic gadget.

Azami is the latest addition to Rainbow Six Siege, and she’s bringing back the tactical aspect of the game, more so than Osa or Thorn.

15. Doc While his fully automatic weapons, the MP5 and the P90, do not inflict high damage. That weakness is easily offset by Doc’s 3-armor rating and ability to heal. Doc is the ultimate non-shield tank in Siege, and it’s very hard to kill him, especially when partnered with a Rook that can further boost his armor rating. The best way to go against Rook as an Attacker is really go for th

Since then, she’s undergone a lot of changes in an attempt by the devs to make her less powerful and balance the game out. And while

Lion is one of the best operators that a player could use in Siege, and he’s great to have as an operator whether the player is a beginner or a veteran.
