Rainbow Six Siege New Player Guide

The first things to learn in Siege: rounds, roles, maps and how to stop dying first.

How a round works

Attackers scout with drones, then attempt the objective. Defenders set up during preparation, reinforcing walls and placing gadgets. One death ends your round, so information is worth more than speed.

Learn in this order

First, one map at a time: where the sites are and how to reach them. Second, two operators per side with simple jobs. Third, how sound tells you where people are.

Avoid the common mistakes

Do not run with the first player into a room. Do not waste your drone. Do not reinforce a wall your team needs as a rotate. Ask your team what they need.
