S Tier - Best Attacking Operators in R6 Siege Y11S2
Ace is still the reigning hard breacher in the latest season of R6 Siege. His strength lies in how fast and adaptable his breaching gadget is. Moreover, his weapon remains one of the best in the game.
Blackbeard and Montagne are both S Tier for one reason: shields. Shields are incredibly powerful in R6 Siege, allowing players to peek and gather information directly without relying on gadgets. They can control the pace of engagements and dictate how fights unfold, especially Montagne.
Maverick is also still a top-tier pick and remains a perfect counter to anti-breach setups. His weapon is very strong, and his ability to create small or large openings with his blowtorch allows him to pick off enemies in ways that feel incredibly powerful.
Solid Snake has remained an excellent, almost overpowered Operator since his introduction. His radar is a game-changing gadget, providing valuable information about enemy locations and the direction they are facing. Combined with a very strong assault rifle, he comfortably earns a spot in the top tier.
A Tier Attacking Operators
Operators in this tier are notably very strong, with great gadgets that often provide significant value to the team.
Ash and Zofia can both rush through the map and catch defenders off guard, thanks to their straightforward gadgets and excellent weapon choices.
Gridlock is also a notable Operator this season because of the buffs to her gadget. Being able to slow down enemies even after they step off the trap is a very powerful improvement.
Dokkaebi, on the other hand, received buffs to her gadget but has become slightly more complicated to use. The ability to blow up phones and create small fires doesn't add much impact in most situations. Instead, it mainly removes the call-spam meta that she previously relied on. Nevertheless, she remains a highly valuable Operator.
Thermite is always a solid choice when a team needs large hard breaches. Thatcher also remains a strong pick thanks to his EMP grenades, although he relies heavily on teamwork to maximize his effectiveness.
Nomad is still one of the best anti-flank Operators because of her Airjab Launcher, while Deimos has established himself as a stronger alternative to Jackal in many situations.
D Tier - Currently Very Bad
Iana, once a fan favorite, now has very little impact on the game because of the nerfs she received. Without her flashbangs, she provides almost no value beyond gathering information with her clone. You create a clone, scout ahead, and that's about it. At least with flashbangs, she could capitalize on the information she gathered, but now she feels heavily underwhelming.
Jackal is another example of an Operator who lost much of his value due to nerfs. His gadget, once feared by defenders, now provides only one ping per scan. That's a significant downgrade, requiring a lot of deduction and strong team coordination to make effective use of the limited information. He is heavily overshadowed by Deimos, so pick him instead.
Nøkk is another attacker who was hit hard by nerfs. Without Silent Step, Nøkk has lost much of what made her unique. Yes, she can still avoid camera detection, but Silent Step was the core of her identity and playstyle. Without it, there's little reason to choose her over other attackers whose gadgets provide far more value to the team.
That concludes our Rainbow Six Siege Attacker Tier List. Keep in mind that a lot of an Operator's effectiveness comes down to your playstyle and how familiar you are with them. Nevertheless, this tier list provides a general overview of how useful each Operator is in the current meta.
