Rainbow Six Mobile is a strategy-heavy FPS game, a type which is rare on mobile devices. The variety of operators available can lead to so many different tactics and plays. There are several ways to approach each touch in R6M, regardless of attacking and defending. Whilst there is a plethora of operators to choose from, they can be categorised by the roles you play as a whole in the team. In this article, we will discuss the roles of attackers in Rainbow Six Mobile. Previously, we talked about the roles of defenders in Rainbow Six Mobile.
In this article, we analyse the different attacking roles in detail and the strategies to use when playing them. Attackers can win rounds by either eliminating all defenders or by pushing the objective site. The roles amongst attacking operators range from breaching surfaces to gathering intel and more. Usually, you can specialise in a couple of these roles but it’s useful to know about each one individually.
Rainbow Six Mobile: Different roles of Attackers
1. Hard Breacher
Playstyle
Usually, Defenders can reinforce soft walls with metal plates, which are normally impenetrable by bullets, melee and explosions. However, Hard Breachers have special abilities that allows you to destroy reinforced walls and hatches.
Advantages
- With a Hard Breacher operator, you can create new entry points into the objective site.
- Defenders purposely reinforce certain walls, and by opening them will likely cause them problems they don’t want.
Operators to use
- Thermite: He carries 3 Exothermic Charge which you can mount on both soft and reinforced walls. You can then remotely detonate them for a massive blast radius. You can even damage nearby enemies with these.
- Hibana: Hibana is another solid Hard Breacher and with her X-KAIROS Launcher, you can fire explosive pellets which can stick to walls and detonate to create small holes on walls and breach reinforced hatches. You can use it for a total of 4 times.
2. Soft Breacher
Playstyle
Soft breachers have unique abilities that allow you to quickly break through soft walls, hatches and also in partially destructible floors and barricades. So, you can open new routes and holes to shoot through for teammates to quickly gain control of rooms.
Advantages
- You can create new angles and entry points.
- You can provide verticality, allowing attackers to attack between floors.
Operators to use
- Sledge: Sledge’s Breaching Hammer is a fantastic tool to quickly smash holes in soft walls, barricades, hatches and floors. You can use it 25 times too, so it is unlikely to ever run out during a single round.
- Buck: With Buck’s Skeleton Key, you can quickly toggle an under-barrel shotgun on your primary rifle to shoot and break soft surfaces and barricades. It has a total ammo of 6/30 and I think it is sufficient for a round.
3. Crowd Control
Playstyle
These operators deal with situations where multiple defenders are present within the same room. With them, you can basically put pressure on enemy Defenders to make strategic plays for your team.
Advantages
- You can affect several defenders at once.
- You can force the defenders to move out of their cover positions to avoid the impacts, essentially separating the crowd. Your teammates can then breach without worrying about defenders holding angles.
Operators to use
- Ying: Ying carries 3 Candela Flash Charges which you can either roll out as grenades or plant on surfaces and released on the other side. Each Candela essentially consists of several flash grenades packed together which are released in multiple directions when the Candela detonates. You can even cook it to shorten the detonation time for surprise attacks.
- Capitão: You can use his Tactical Crossbow to shoot fire bolts or smoke bolts for strategic plays. For instance, you can use the fire bolts to restrict enemy movements in a particular position. You can use both the bolts twice separately.
4. Anti-Gadget
Playstyle
These operators are equipped with utilities which help you disarm or counter the defensive teams’ gadgets. This could include any electronic devices and traps. As an Anti-gadget operator, you can use their abilities to clear the area first before your teammates can safely breach after.
Advantages
- You can clear the path for other attackers to breach without worrying about traps.
- You can disrupt the defenders’ source of intel.
Operators to use
- Thatcher: You can use his 4 EMP Grenades to deactivate all electronics and gadgets in their blast radius for a duration when detonated. They basically deliver electromagnetic pulse, so you can even deactivate lights on enemy weapon sights and remotely triggered gadgets.
- Twitch: With Twitch’s specialised Shock Drones, you can destroy enemy gadgets with the taser shots in them. Moreover, they’re different from the standard drones that you deploy during Prep phase. You can use them twice.
5. Entry Fragger
Playstyle
Entry fraggers spearhead the teams’ rushes and focus on hunting down defenders. You can use their unique abilities to kick down doors and create pressure on enemy Defenders.
Advantages
- The focus on getting kills gives Entry Fragger the man count advantage.
- You’ve the ability to quickly clear rooms, helping you team gain control over the map.
Operators to use
- Ash: With Ash’s Breaching Round ability, which is basically a mounted projectile launcher, you can fire explosive rounds that stick to surfaces and detonate after a delay. You can use it 3 times to easily demolish soft surfaces and even nearby enemy gadgets.
6. Sniper
Playstyle
Snipers have long-range weapons which gives you advantage at long-range combat. You can use their unique abilities to safely hold angles from a distance. Whilst other operators will actively seek out the objective site, you can instead choose to sit further away and shoot from a distance.
Advantages
- Powerful weapons can kill quickly with accurate shots.
- Long-range shots make it difficult for defenders to spot where the Sniper is sitting.
- You can provide support to teammates with cover fire from a distance.
Operators to use
- Glaz: Glaz’s sniper rifle has an attached Thermal Flip Scope, which you can toggle to eliminate hostiles through smoke. Though the firing rate is slow when you toggle to this scope, you can deal increased weapon damage and the best part is you can use it for unlimited times.
7. Anti-Roam
Playstyles
As an Anti-Roam Operator, you can easily find and eliminate enemies that try to roam outside the objective rooms. You can use their diverse abilities to access enemy cameras and create tactical plays for your team.
Advantages
- You can easily eliminate enemy Defenders roaming outside the objective rooms.
- You can even compromise their positions.
- You can take advantage of their camera feeds to locate them.
Operators to use
- Dokkaebi: You can use Dokkaebi’s Logic Bomb unique ability twice to upload a virus to make enemy phones buzz, compromising their locations in the process. Unlike others, she also has the Camera Hack contextual ability, that lets you pick up eliminated enemies’ phones and hack them to access camera feeds.
- Deimos: You can use the Deathmark Tracker, which is a flying probe to track one identified enemy and force them into a duel with you. Plus, both you and the targeted Operator remain aware of one another’s positions once you mark them. And this only vanishes if either of you die or the duel ends.
8. Intel
Playstyles
As Intel Operators, you basically provide your allies with meaningful information during the round. You can use their unique abilities to scan maps, ping moving enemies, and forward that information to the team.
Advantages
- Provide reliable information on your enemy Defenders’ locations and such.
- Make solid tactical plays as a team.
Operators to use
- Lion: You can use Lion’s EE-ONE-D ability to deploy an aerial drone to scan the entire map and briefly ping moving enemies. You can use it a total of 3 times but it does need a cooldown period after each use.
