Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Gameplay
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a first-person shooter game that features a variety of operators from the Rainbow team, with each operator having unique nationalities, weapons, and gadgets. The game has an asymmetrical structure in which teams may not always be balanced in terms of abilities. A premium currency known as "R6 credits" can also be purchased with real-world currency to obtain operators or cosmetic items more quickly.
Players can select any operator from any unit that is defending or attacking before a round starts, choosing spawn points and gun attachments but are not allowed to change their choices once the round has started. The in-game currency, "Renown," can be used to purchase operators or cosmetics from the in-game shop, and different gameplay modes offer different Renown rates.
Different types of gameplay modes in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
Upon release, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege had 11 maps and five gameplay modes, encompassing both player-versus-environment (PVE) and player-versus-player (PVP) modes. Additional downloadable content (DLC) released post-launch added four maps from year one and three maps from year two, bringing the total number of playable maps to 20. The game modes included are:
Hostage
- A multiplayer mode is where the attackers must extract a hostage from the defenders, who must either prevent the hostage extraction or eliminate all attackers. In this multiplayer mode, the attackers' goal is to extract a hostage while the defenders aim to stop them by either preventing the extraction or eliminating all attackers.
Bomb

Secure Area
- A non-competitive multiplayer mode where defenders must protect a room with a biohazard container, while attackers must secure it. The game ends when one team is eliminated or the biohazard container is secured. In this non-competitive multiplayer mode of Rainbow Six Siege, defenders aim to safeguard a room containing a biohazard container, while attackers aim to secure it.
- The match concludes when either team is eliminated or when the container is successfully secured.
Tactical Realism
- A variation of standard competitive multiplayer modes that emphasizes realism and teamwork by removing most heads-up display (HUD) elements, opponent marking, and teammate visibility through walls, while featuring a realistic ammo management system. This model is no longer available, but some aspects have been incorporated into other multiplayer modes.
