I would’ve put fuze higher just for the fact of he is able to clear smaller sites of all the gadgets/ shields, you might not get kills but get echo drones, thorns, alibi, frost, kapkan and many more that could make your team lose in the long run, just my opinion
Agree completely. If you are playing fuse to get kills, you are playing fuse wrong. Nothing better than destroying a utility in site with one well placed cluster charge lol
Yee the fuze Placement was a bit weird ^^ His utillity clear is insane and with a good team or at least a Duo nearly impossible to avoid as a Defender.
19:20 I found a better use for her frost mats. When placing the frost mat on a window, place it perpendicular to the wall of the window. Then also put it to the side, far from the middle, but close enough to the point they'll still trigger. So much harder to counter, and I've tested it countless times.
I really appreciated how you instantly started the video off with your ranking of grim. I always hate it when RUclipsrs have a useless 3 minute intro to their videos. Keep up the good work man👍
Every op has one site or map where they can shine, and that's why I really enjoyed watching your operator tier lists for specific maps. You have no idea how many ranked games my team has one with our Google spreadsheet of best ops to pick from your map tier lists. I would love to see those come back.
Pox you won me some ranked games with your Smoke recommendation. I’ve been playing him when we need an anchor and he’s just a monster. He can hold an entire site by himself, deny plant, stall time, get easy shotty kills cause I suck, make weak areas strong with his shield.. the list goes on. He may be an old op but he’s a modern menace
I feel like the amount of utility fuze can clear is insane, if not, the best second to flores. Plus he’s great for causing chaos and forcing players to move out of hard to peek spots while also having some post plant options if available. Hard breach charges are always great utility as well. I definitely think fuze is better than amaru from a ranked perspective
I think Amaru is a little slept on in full stacks, she can flank defenders in the last 30 seconds with a full team execute and in the previous minutes use her drones to set up flank watch or drone for entry fraggers. Obviously it does not make her good but a decent option to get late round kills even on good enemies.
There are DEFINITELY some strong and unconventional Amaru plays. Example: on any site that has a hatch above it she is a post plant nightmare. For most attackers, going outside, rappelling up to the roof, and running all the way back to the hatch to protect the defused is not an option cause of how long it takes. But she can do it in 2 seconds. Another use is to rappel up through hatches on site from the floor below. Get a drone in to pinpoint the right timing and you can single-handedly take over a bomb site. Still think she’s a much worse than average op than average though
I think fuze is way higher than most of the people put above him, he can back some players into corners and help teams push on top of being able to clear sites of gadgets.
They could at least make Sens able to see through his smoke, much like Ying with candela. It at least make the defenders think twice about peeking out, instead of just spamming or pushing through it.
I’m either not seeing something that’s obvious to everybody else or I’m just stubborn. But I don’t get it. It’s a literal wall of smoke. It has a weird hit box and can be frustrating definitely. But like pool it’s all about the angles. Once people start coming up with strategies on how to use him and practice throwing his gadget to have the exact wall of smoke you want every single time, He will be a top pick sooner or later.
I think Gridlock should've been higher in the tier list because of all the utility she offers (2 smokes, 4 gridlocks, gone-6 or shotgun, and pretty good primary weapons). For me she is the god of utility in the attacker's team. Nonetheless great video man!
I think fuze being that low is a bit harsh he pairs really well with lion and dokkebi and clears Kapkans frost mats gu mines etc. Also fav op has got to be cav simply due to how annoying she is for the opposition however she might soon be overtaken by blitz because I think I saw him getting a year 8 buff. Fav map is constantly changing but for now I think it’s coastline
I'm surprised you were saying gridlock should bring smokes. I mainly bring her for the emps when I feel like the trax will be more useful than lion scans.
I bring emps most of the time but if the site is right I will do the smokes so I can do a smoke plant then gridlock the site so the defenders have a hard time getting to the diffuser
I'm glad to see my girl Mira so high. She has been my favorite operator since I started playing. My favorite map for her is Kanal's Coast Guard room. Place a Mira looking at the white stairs hall, place the other looking at the yellow stairs hall. Without the proper utility, they will have so many issues going in from the very few places that you can't cover. Are you in a tight spot? Don't worry! Just shotgun your way out of there through the hatch and slowly go around the enemy!
Bro the fact my favorite operator who use to be like D ranked operator Nokk is ninth makes me so happy I have 240 hours on her and have always loved her! So the fact people use her now makes me happy. But I use her so much that when people take her I kinda struggle on attacking. 😅
sorry for the quesions, but are you updating the video after every update? Because i'm quite sure i watched the same video 4 months ago and the ranking was different
Fuze isn't meant for kills, getting those are a bonus, it's all about gadget destruction there's always a softwall or reinforced wall or barricade you can pop a grenade through even if it's only one that gets through it can still get rid of alot of utility and gadgets, and amaru is better as a delayed entry, while her team is engaged she can yeehaw from a window behind and collapse on opponents, but that requires proper comms
I feel like Tbird is one of the best defenders because 1, she has one of the best defender guns. 2, Even if you die, your utility can still help the team and it recharges instantly and you don't need to be near your teammates to help them. 3, she's a 3-speed.
@@averywilson9574 hard for her to be top 10 because konas are super easy to spot and destroy plus they can heal enemies if they get onto site which is a HUGE L. I won like 3 matches today because we just got onto site and camped konas with bomb forcing defence to push us but we are constant healing
@@napkin1329 true. doc is definitely the pick with a squad, i feel like it’s easier and more efficient heals with thunderbird though, especially with only a duo or even solo queue. But with the doc buff, im not so sure who’s better anymore haha
Guys a good strat with Mira is this:when you see from the Mira window that there are enemies break the canister of the window.The enemies won't understand why you did it and when the Mira window breaks you blast them through the hole and kill and kill them.
Great tier list. I still believe valk amazi are the two best ops in the entire game. There is just way way way way way too much creativity to help the team. They perfectly suit the games overall design
Ok Echo is definitely underrated, but he is not a top 11 operator by any means. You talk through the whole video about the aggressive meta, and when he dies on cams it's really bad. I'd put echo at like 25-30 on this list
im a castle main and i can say im happy with this number, and thats exactly how i play him, confuse the attackers with random holes in the map and floor and castle off any possible push points across the map and save 1-2 for site entrances
While I can understand the Fuze placement, I honestly would've put him waaaaaaaaay higher in the list. Most people who play him and have half a brain KNOW we aren't ever going to get kills with his gadget unless the enemy team is just really dumb however it does AMAZING at absolutely obliterating enemy utility. A single fuse clears out a room of enemy gadgets while also forcing enemies to rotate into really bad positions. Hes not going to be useful in every single map but in most maps he can perform well.
I haven't played Siege for many years. I originally got it on Xbox One not long after release, and a couple years later on PS4. I only ever experienced playing the original operators and the year 1 operators. I am now finally thinking about returning but on PC this time, Sledge and Frost were my favourite operators back in the day and I don't think much will change when I return.
I don't agree about Fuze been using him as one of my mains a long time. He's very good if you do not focus on kills and use the right maps. I find using his cluster charge to destroy defenders equipment is a better option then aiming for kills. However I am not saying he's the best choice I'm just saying there are good ways to use him most people just don't do.
Blackbeard absolutely shines on coastline, his weapon is fantastic in my opinion, on coastline he can be lethal as its all about quick movement, weaponary and aim, I agree pox, i think bb is misunderstood because he can have his moments on some maps, his utility can be used to avoid instant headshots which is important, overall, blackbeard super underrated
i disagree, anyone who plays fuze for kills is playing him wrong, he's a utility clear, place them above site and doesnt matter how good or bad the enemy players are, you can still clear their util. if you think and play him like that you'll be finding massive value out of him
Lion : you get pinged if you move during a short timr Cav : you get pinged when your mate fucks up in a fight Jackal : You get pinged because you have 2 working legs
im a part time grindlock main and shes super usefull i think if they made her a 2 speed somehow maybe ubi tells us a story of her losing a couple killos but if she some how lost the weight and became a 2 speed i think thed be picked way more, the 4 trax are a great way to get info on enemies positions and lock off points of flanks because youll hear them walk through or shoot the trax, and paired with smoke like you said for plant and post plant means you can use her for a good site push to plant, as well as being a good roam defender / info gatherer.
It’s REALLY TOUGH to pick just 1 so I’ll pick 2 of each. Defenders: Frost (there’s nothing more satisfying than a bear trap kill) & Kapkan who’s a close second to the most satisfying gadget kills. Attackers: okay I can’t pick only 2. Sledge (who doesn’t love smashing stuff & throwing grenades???), Ace for all the reasons you mentioned, Buck because the ability to switch to that shotgun attachment is so useful in so many situations & Flores…have you ever got a kill with his drone??? EPIC!!! Also I love the confusion he causes. Map: ✈️
The list is very solid but id argue that you primarily judged these ops on individual play contrary to team play. For example, Fuze CAN be a very lethal pick (S tier pick) when playing with a lion, doki, and blitz but an F tier pick when playing with thermite, thatcher, and monty. The same is true for an operator like clash. S tier with a good doc, mira, or rook behind them and F tier with people who tk you every round cause they shoot you by accident. If i was going off of teamplay, a lot of ops would be switched around in terms of how they benefit the team. Not themselves
I been playing R6 for little over a year now…i dont think ive ever, ever seen anyone use that grappling hook and i dont blame them, to me it just seems like a VIP Fastpass to death, people already spray half their mag the second a window is broken so you wont make it further then 30 feet😂
I definitely feel that Finka deserves to be higher especially due to the new meta being killing everything, she can pick up downed teammates which is useful for when the enemy team is baiting them, she is great for run and gun which catches a lot of people off guard, even with the nerf of the no grenades and slight spear recoil nerf as well as no breaching she is a great pick for team play and for run and gun play
I'll preface this by saying I peaked gold a few years ago. Fuze is decent, situational to be sure but on sites like clubhouse basement, he's able to clear a ton of stuff and crack hatches with can openers as well. Not a pick for every single round, but dangit he's fun.
Great vid man! I gotta say, Smoke and Ace really do it for me. I typically use Twitch as my backup though. Coastline or Club House are probably my favs!
my top picks for defense: Smoke, azami, kapkan, frost, alibi, vigil, rook. Bandit bcs mp7 really nice and can bandit trick even if tm8s dont cover below, kap azami and frost bcs their guns are amazing and utils, alibi for the runouts as well as the laser, and vigil for drone denial and the lion fucker. as for rook, mostly spawn peeks lmfao. As to Attackers, my top picks are Hibana, iq, iana, buck, zero, zofia, ying, amaru, and nokk. Hibi for the breaches and her gun is amazing, iq bcs i counter solis and pulse as well as spot utils, iana bcs i can quick drone paired with nades, buck to open up wall but also engage close combat with the shotgun, zero for his cams and his gun as i like the mp7, zofia bcs ash is meh and plus i can do more with zof utils, ying to rush in and solidify a warden, jager wamai pick for next round, nokk bcs i rat a lot, and lastly amaru with the supernova and smg11 to do funny strats namely go into site thru soft hatches and pop a cap in people's ass. As to favorite sites if I had to pick bcs ive been mostly playing ranked, id say its Kafe, Chalet, border club house, maybe oregon, still questioning the last one, but i like first 4 bcs i can run wall denial or traps about every round and can spawn peek, so its a win win either way. least favorite map if I'd had to choose would be probably either emerald plains, stadium brava or night haven labs namely because I'm lazy and havent bothered learning all the angles on those 3 maps as it stands right now.
Fuze is way way higher in my opinion, not even for the killing potential of the clusters because if your killing someone with those their either really unlucky or they suck, but its the fact that just one cluster charge can wipe a room of all defender gadgets and forces them to leave site opening room for a plant
Amaru is crazy in early rounds, my favorite way to use her is rush top of Kafe to get an early skylight pick or go roof on Coastline and drop blacktop to rush billiards The one on kafe gets me a kill about 70% of the time and Coastline gets me a 2-3k about 60% of the time
1:28 I wholeheartedly disagree with this. If I put one cluster down and then go to the opposite side of the room, trigger the fuze then immediately place another one down and trigger it to get a kill that was a smart play. I used the first charge to cut off one side of the site only to then immediately trigger one where the anchors likely ran to. You can also trap anchors in site by cutting off rotations with teammates and then using fuze. Yes, there are dummies who use fuze and get kills. But he is amazing operator when used correctly and in coordination with your team.
I love how siege content creators forget that this game locks operators behind a grindwall or paywall. "Just use ACE (in response to people playing fuze)" Meanwhile me wanting to use my renown on other ops and using fuze because he is unlocked by default.
I actually main Zero, and let me tell you, when your playing with friends and your defusing, putting some extra cams in site and in flanks to watch your back will save your life more times then you can count
It's kinda funny that my first Ace was actually with Amaru, an operator who was created for fun... And when you get bored of playing seriously in Siege.
Sorry idc what you say how Maverick, he’s at bare minimum B tier. He’s a great solo queue op, sometimes a more efficient alternative to Hibana if Kaid is played, and has a good gun. It’s also super easy to create a crouch hole through a reinforced wall which can be very useful. Also Mav tricking is pretty cool, but only useful in niche scenarios.
Caveira’s biggest weakness is the weakness of all roamers in the game. Play it slow and cautious will eliminate most problems people have with roamers.
I think your smoking something if you think warden is better than mav. Mav is very versatile and has near amazing guns while warden had meh guns in all sections and his gadget is completely useless if there's no smokes active.
Can you put the name of the op you're talking about up with the number? I often listen to these videos at work and can't really hear the name you say and glance to check. And maybe like a small delay between one op and another, sometimes they seemed to blend together while listening. Just a suggestion idk
I understand its a personal list, hence why I disagree with it all besides sens and grim, that I agree with they suck. But it's an incredibly hard thing to do putting operators with unique abilities in numerical organisation as its completely dependent on how an individual player uses the operator and their ability. Fir example i ply most often and have done fir years usually with a full squad, my mates aren't the best and so tend to pick the "best operators" on your list as they are the easiest to use or have the biggest outcome on a game, this has lead me to play slightly less picked operators and lead to a strange way of playing that kinda works though, I completely agree that no should have a main as playing the same operator on each site on each map just doesn't help the team all the time, however I'd say I have a handful of operators I use more often than others and their abilitys pair well with my 5 stack group. 80% of the time I'm either playing Iq, glaz or Twitch on attack as it compliments the play styles of my friends, (I was incredibly but hurt with Iq being so low, her ability is second to none when it comes to gathering intel fast and that g8 just makes me happy) and on defense again on 80% of sites I'm playing either Rook, Mute or warden (weopons vary on rooms tho). A list like this is never going to please everyone, in fact in a game like this I'd be surprised if anyone agrees 100% with a specific list organisation as rainbow is a game that can be played in a myriad of infinite ways. So to all the people crying its his list not yours!!!

i disagree, anyone who plays fuze for kills is playing him wrong, he's a utility clear, place them above site and doesnt matter how good or bad the enemy players are, you can still clear their util. if you think and play him like that you'll be finding massive value out of him
IQ: counters: kapkan, valk, mute, cams + if someone is using cams you get wallhacks on them
I like the hair transition with each clip starting by 20:56
And now just 2 months later the new extended barrel doing 15% increase in da,mage changes this entire list
Lion : you get pinged if you move during a short timr
Cav : you get pinged when your mate fucks up in a fight
Jackal : You get pinged because you have 2 working legs
im a part time grindlock main and shes super usefull i think if they made her a 2 speed somehow maybe ubi tells us a story of her losing a couple killos but if she some how lost the weight and became a 2 speed i think thed be picked way more, the 4 trax are a great way to get info on enemies positions and lock off points of flanks because youll hear them walk through or shoot the trax, and paired with smoke like you said for plant and post plant means you can use her for a good site push to plant, as well as being a good roam defender / info gatherer.
I’m just happy he put sledge in #2 instead of lower, he might only breach but those breaches are sometimes unexpected
It’s REALLY TOUGH to pick just 1 so I’ll pick 2 of each.
Defenders: Frost (there’s nothing more satisfying than a bear trap kill) & Kapkan who’s a close second to the most satisfying gadget kills.
Attackers: okay I can’t pick only 2. Sledge (who doesn’t love smashing stuff & throwing grenades???), Ace for all the reasons you mentioned, Buck because the ability to switch to that shotgun attachment is so useful in so many situations & Flores…have you ever got a kill with his drone??? EPIC!!! Also I love the confusion he causes.
Map: ✈️
3:45-4:15 watch the in-game chat in bottom right corner. There cannot be a better showcase of R6 community in a nutshell :-)
The list is very solid but id argue that you primarily judged these ops on individual play contrary to team play. For example, Fuze CAN be a very lethal pick (S tier pick) when playing with a lion, doki, and blitz but an F tier pick when playing with thermite, thatcher, and monty. The same is true for an operator like clash. S tier with a good doc, mira, or rook behind them and F tier with people who tk you every round cause they shoot you by accident. If i was going off of teamplay, a lot of ops would be switched around in terms of how they benefit the team. Not themselves
I been playing R6 for little over a year now…i dont think ive ever, ever seen anyone use that grappling hook and i dont blame them, to me it just seems like a VIP Fastpass to death, people already spray half their mag the second a window is broken so you wont make it further then 30 feet😂
i would honestly put sens above kali just for the fact how horrible kalis weapons are, a 50cal just doesn’t belong in the game
I definitely feel that Finka deserves to be higher especially due to the new meta being killing everything, she can pick up downed teammates which is useful for when the enemy team is baiting them, she is great for run and gun which catches a lot of people off guard, even with the nerf of the no grenades and slight spear recoil nerf as well as no breaching she is a great pick for team play and for run and gun play
10:49 Jynxzi is coming for u after that one
osa being that low is criminal she has deployable mira shields two amazing guns and emp grenades
i love nomad, airjabs still pretty useful and the 0 recoil arx is pretty fun
I'll preface this by saying I peaked gold a few years ago.
Fuze is decent, situational to be sure but on sites like clubhouse basement, he's able to clear a ton of stuff and crack hatches with can openers as well. Not a pick for every single round, but dangit he's fun.
Ok im sorry but MAV AND GRIDLOCK AT 54 AND 55 IS A CRIME
Great vid man! I gotta say, Smoke and Ace really do it for me. I typically use Twitch as my backup though. Coastline or Club House are probably my favs!
The fact that warden isn’t top 10 just because of his drip is a huge slap in the face.
Glad to see Tim being a real friend and not a sell out like most would.
The only crime here is kali and fuze that low, but thats my opinion
my top picks for defense: Smoke, azami, kapkan, frost, alibi, vigil, rook. Bandit bcs mp7 really nice and can bandit trick even if tm8s dont cover below, kap azami and frost bcs their guns are amazing and utils, alibi for the runouts as well as the laser, and vigil for drone denial and the lion fucker. as for rook, mostly spawn peeks lmfao. As to Attackers, my top picks are Hibana, iq, iana, buck, zero, zofia, ying, amaru, and nokk. Hibi for the breaches and her gun is amazing, iq bcs i counter solis and pulse as well as spot utils, iana bcs i can quick drone paired with nades, buck to open up wall but also engage close combat with the shotgun, zero for his cams and his gun as i like the mp7, zofia bcs ash is meh and plus i can do more with zof utils, ying to rush in and solidify a warden, jager wamai pick for next round, nokk bcs i rat a lot, and lastly amaru with the supernova and smg11 to do funny strats namely go into site thru soft hatches and pop a cap in people's ass. As to favorite sites if I had to pick bcs ive been mostly playing ranked, id say its Kafe, Chalet, border club house, maybe oregon, still questioning the last one, but i like first 4 bcs i can run wall denial or traps about every round and can spawn peek, so its a win win either way. least favorite map if I'd had to choose would be probably either emerald plains, stadium brava or night haven labs namely because I'm lazy and havent bothered learning all the angles on those 3 maps as it stands right now.
1 is definitely lord tachanka
2 is fuse
3 frost
4 kapkan
5 capitao
"im on my dead grandma's rocking chair" 😭😭 24:21
Just jumped back into the game after years away, glad to see my two random choices of Iana and Azami are viable in ranked
I've never played R6 and don't have much interest in it, but I enjoyed this video, very well made.
I love watching videos like this because it lets me know we are playing completely different games lol
ong like completly wrong about goyo therm and a few others
Fuze is way way higher in my opinion, not even for the killing potential of the clusters because if your killing someone with those their either really unlucky or they suck, but its the fact that just one cluster charge can wipe a room of all defender gadgets and forces them to leave site opening room for a plant
Crazy how much nokk has fallen in the last year new ranking video has her as the third worst attacker and this one has her as the fourth best
Amaru is crazy in early rounds, my favorite way to use her is rush top of Kafe to get an early skylight pick or go roof on Coastline and drop blacktop to rush billiards
The one on kafe gets me a kill about 70% of the time and Coastline gets me a 2-3k about 60% of the time
1:28 I wholeheartedly disagree with this. If I put one cluster down and then go to the opposite side of the room, trigger the fuze then immediately place another one down and trigger it to get a kill that was a smart play. I used the first charge to cut off one side of the site only to then immediately trigger one where the anchors likely ran to.
You can also trap anchors in site by cutting off rotations with teammates and then using fuze.
Yes, there are dummies who use fuze and get kills. But he is amazing operator when used correctly and in coordination with your team.
the fact nomad and t bird are this low is INSANE
Pretty interesting to see how this list is different from the new one
Dude is a professional rainbow six siege player and implied that fuze's gadget is mainly for getting kills.
"Let's hope that the next season brings us someone a little bit stronger." Well... it did, that's for goddamn sure lol
Okay bro 4:21, he’s gotta be joking right, “weak utility” 😂
I love how siege content creators forget that this game locks operators behind a grindwall or paywall.
"Just use ACE (in response to people playing fuze)"
Meanwhile me wanting to use my renown on other ops and using fuze because he is unlocked by default.
I actually main Zero, and let me tell you, when your playing with friends and your defusing, putting some extra cams in site and in flanks to watch your back will save your life more times then you can count
Kali on maps with garages is just 10x more viable than a twitch
"IQ is a fine operator...." Yes, yes she is.
It's kinda funny that my first Ace was actually with Amaru, an operator who was created for fun... And when you get bored of playing seriously in Siege.
idea? iana drone can “shoot” a lazer like twitchs drone but it only affects utility
I think nøkk having the ability where she is silent in barbed wire is actually one of her strongest ability’s it’s so broken
As a Blitz, Glaz and Nøkk main. I approve of their rankings. Blitz is fantastic if you know how to use him, same as Glaz.
remember this is his list.
I've never seen iana do well. The clone is so loud, you can hear it coming from a mile away, and then that gives you the chance to rush her
Copper?
smoke is him, been my main
thunderbird should be over doc because her ability is useful even after death if a doc dies his ability is useless
Yeah, but it is a double edge sword because she can heal enemies
Sorry idc what you say how Maverick, he’s at bare minimum B tier. He’s a great solo queue op, sometimes a more efficient alternative to Hibana if Kaid is played, and has a good gun. It’s also super easy to create a crouch hole through a reinforced wall which can be very useful. Also Mav tricking is pretty cool, but only useful in niche scenarios.
Caveira’s biggest weakness is the weakness of all roamers in the game. Play it slow and cautious will eliminate most problems people have with roamers.
With lion you want to wait until uve planted or securing site then deny any roamers from coming back to stop you.
I think your smoking something if you think warden is better than mav. Mav is very versatile and has near amazing guns while warden had meh guns in all sections and his gadget is completely useless if there's no smokes active.
Was Monty all you have to do is just have your teammate throw a smoke and then have him plant the diffuser and guard it with your Shield
Why do we play Warden?
(X) A. Because his gadget can be useful against smokes and flashes
(v). B. Because cool running animation
I bought sens with r6 creds as he’s one of my last attacks to get after Flores amaru and nokk, just to see him second to last 😭😭
Can you put the name of the op you're talking about up with the number? I often listen to these videos at work and can't really hear the name you say and glance to check. And maybe like a small delay between one op and another, sometimes they seemed to blend together while listening. Just a suggestion idk
I can see how much time went into this video so thank you!
I understand its a personal list, hence why I disagree with it all besides sens and grim, that I agree with they suck. But it's an incredibly hard thing to do putting operators with unique abilities in numerical organisation as its completely dependent on how an individual player uses the operator and their ability. Fir example i ply most often and have done fir years usually with a full squad, my mates aren't the best and so tend to pick the "best operators" on your list as they are the easiest to use or have the biggest outcome on a game, this has lead me to play slightly less picked operators and lead to a strange way of playing that kinda works though, I completely agree that no should have a main as playing the same operator on each site on each map just doesn't help the team all the time, however I'd say I have a handful of operators I use more often than others and their abilitys pair well with my 5 stack group. 80% of the time I'm either playing Iq, glaz or Twitch on attack as it compliments the play styles of my friends, (I was incredibly but hurt with Iq being so low, her ability is second to none when it comes to gathering intel fast and that g8 just makes me happy) and on defense again on 80% of sites I'm playing either Rook, Mute or warden (weopons vary on rooms tho). A list like this is never going to please everyone, in fact in a game like this I'd be surprised if anyone agrees 100% with a specific list organisation as rainbow is a game that can be played in a myriad of infinite ways. So to all the people crying its his list not yours!!!
What’s an EMP gadget??
Off topic a bit but I wanna know how to set up graphics to have like a blurry effect on the reflects/holos like in this clip please 🙏🏻
Why warden mustache look like azami cut tho🤣🤣
