[Top 10] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Long Range Guns

Top 10 R6 Siege best Long Range Guns

02 Jun 2023

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

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] Rainbow Six Siege Best Assault Rifles That Are Powerful

Assault rifles are fully automatic weapons and are probably the most popular type of weapon in Siege. That’s because they excel at almost everything in the game. Most of them inflict high damage per shot, have low range damage drop-off, decent magazine size, and manageable recoil. They are most effective at medium range and everyone who has a considerable amount of experience with Siege knows t

15. MPX Submachine Gun The MPX may not be known as a devastating weapon that inflicts huge amounts of damage, but what it has is its very low weapon kick. And of course, the lower the recoil of the gun is, the more accurate it can be shot by the user. It even has the vertical grip available to it, and the vertical grip will make this weapon’s recoil almost non-existent. But seriously, due t

Sens is one of the operators in Siege that have the biggest impact on the matches they’re on. That’s because Sens’ special gadget, the R.O.U.

That’s why it’s important to reassess the best

Twitch is one of the few operators in the game that has three choices for her primary weapon. She can choose from a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a designated marksman rifle.

Because Thatcher gets banned in most ranked matches thesedays and the best alternatives for him are Maverick or Kali, Kaid's Rtilas have become lot more valuable. Kaid's Rtilas have a pretty wide range, so Kaid can attach them in awkward angles to prevent Maverick's frag grenades or Kali's Explosive Lance from reaching them while still effectively jamming the reinforced walls. This makes Kaid a

[Top 5] Rainbow 6 Siege Best Caveira Loadouts

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

Vigil is a very effective roamer because he has the capability to mess up with the enemies’ efforts when it comes to gathering intel on him. With his special gadget, the ERC-7, he can erase himself from enemy cameras’ feeds, and that generally makes them uneasy, because they may have an idea where he is, but not his exact whereabouts. That means that if he’s being hunted, Vigil can easily t

Team Rainbow’s walking tank. This guy can even survive a nitro cell with his trusty extendable shield. With a team that knows how to coordinate, Monty is a menace.

Montagne can catch even veteran players off guard when switching from covering himself wi

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

10. Valkyrie Intel gathering plays a huge role in Siege gameplay. It's as important as aim and reflexes, because in a tactical game like Siege, there would be many cases that a player with inferior aim and reflexes can win against a player who's better in those areas, with the use of intel and strategy. And when it comes to gathering intel on enemy positions, Valkyrie is the best on the defen

Rainbow Six Siege Player Count Report

When Was the Game Launched: The game was launched on December 1, 2015 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, to an underwhelming reception. Probably because the game didn’t look anything like its gameplay trailer seen above, and reportedly it had many bugs. However, Siege saw a tremendous rise in popularity in late 2017 due to updates and fixes from the dev

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

Blackbeard is known for experiencing a lot of nerfs throughout the years, and what’s crazy is, despite those nerfs that have been the subject of memes in the Siege community, he’s still a very frightening operator to go against. That’s because unless you get lucky and get a few shots in early, chances are, in a one-on-one fight between two similarly skilled players, Blackbeard would always w

10. T-5 SMG https://youtu.be/S59GKBmaSYI?si=6K9m5KG3c7EH37kG&t=194 The flash hider used to be the go-to barrel attachment for most players. But with the big buffs on the other barrel attachments like the suppressor, extended barrel, compensator, and muzzle brake, the game has become much more balanced, and for a lot of weapons, the flash hider isn’t the best barrel attachment anymore. But ther

Warden is one of the best at anchoring the objective spot because his special gadget, the Glance Smart Glasses, allows him to see through smoke grenades, Sen’s R.O.U. Projectile Systems, or remove the blinding effects from stun grenades, Blitz’s shield, or Ying’s Candelas. With that, he can effectively counter attackers who believe they are so safe behind the smoke grenade or the other gadge

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

Rook’s pick rate was already considerably good before, but now it’s experiencing a great rise. That’s because of the most recent buff on his special gadget, the Armor Plates. Previously, it only added more health to his teammates, but now it also provides them the ability to revive themselves from a down-but-not-out state. This is a really great buff for Rook who has always been one of the m

Graphics settings in Siege play a major role in the game. Oftentimes, your graphic settings can mean the difference between a kill or being killed. It also directly affects your frame rate, and the less frame rate you have, the more disadvantaged you’re going to be. And just like in the above image, it can directly affect whether your vision will be distracted by other things in the environment.

Gridlock’s special gadget, the Trax Stingers, are some of the most troublesome attacker utilities in the game.

Each of these barbed mats are capable of dealing heavy damage to enemies that will attempt to walk over them. Generally, Gridl

Jackal has a very dynamic role because it mainly involves tracking roamers. The thing is, roamers themselves are very dynamic and possess the means to turn the tables and turn the hunter into prey very quickly. That is why players should consider the loadout that they’ll run Jackal with very carefully. Because the best loadout for a given situation will give Jackal the advantage and enhance his

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

The very name of Caveira can strike fear in the hearts of her enemies, and that’s why when she’s scanned by the attackers during prep phase, they would likely hunt and try to take her out first before pushing into the bomb site. That’s because if they don’t, Caveira can easily pick them off one by one and harass them from behind. With that said, it can also be very hard to hunt down Cavei
