Ranking Every Operator in R6 from Worst to Best 

TL:DR if you're new buy the SAS ops first

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

in my opinion fuze isn't for kills but for clearing utility from rooms from relative safety

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 RU-vidrs 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.

Hey Pox, semi-serious question here. How would you rate Recruit as an operator? You can seperate offense and defense Recruit

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

FULL LIST: 65: Grimm 64: Sens 63: Cali 62: Blackbeard 61. Fuze 60. Amaru 59. IQ 58. Caviera 57. Ash 56. Maverick 55. Nomad 54. Gridlock 53. Warden 52. Bandit 51. Ela 50. Tachanka 49. Montagne 48.

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 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.

LOVE HOW YOU JUST GET RIGHT TO THE POINT THROUGH THE WHOLE VID

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.

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!

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.

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. 😅

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.

This was a great video and I appriciated the streams that u did to get all this footage.

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!

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!

1000% agree with Smoke and Mute being up there in the top 5. Great list.

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 love nomad, airjabs still pretty useful and the 0 recoil arx is pretty fun

bro got straight into it😤😮‍💨

When poxo uploads that means it’s a good day much love poxo ❤

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 can see how much time went into this video so thank you!

Never make a list again 🔥

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

IQ is in my opinion a solid pick. For example Thatcher is banned and Kaid not, the problem is with the secondary EMP that you dont know exactly there the claws are, that means IQ is in combination with the secondary EMP very good

Finally seeing smoke getting the love he deserves. I love playing him as a flank/denier and 9/10 times i can easily pull plays that turn the ties of the game or round.

Just jumped back into the game after years away, glad to see my two random choices of Iana and Azami are viable in ranked

Nice video definitely helps I’m currently a silver 1 player I usually play around gold but man it’s a nightmare trying to reach plat either team mates quitting or losing a 5v2 just for kills you should make a video on how to escape gold

I’m in a bit of the lower ranks but when i play ranked and someone runs castle and castles the team on bombsite it makes me want to c4 myself

"Ever since the introduction of EMP gadgets kaid hasn't been as useful" "EMP gadgets can be a struggle against kaid claws"

I love watching videos like this because it lets me know we are playing completely different games lol

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

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.

I like the hair transition with each clip starting by 20:56

I’m just happy he put sledge in #2 instead of lower, he might only breach but those breaches are sometimes unexpected

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

Flores/smoke Oregon

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

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

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.

Did I miss castle on this list? I actually thought he was gonna be #1 once it got close and I was holding my breath. But I never saw him. Not as site-changing as Mira is, but can definitely make an impact and is one of those self-sufficient set-up-the-whole-site-alone ops. Secondary shotty is powerful with that 1.5 UMP. Pairs great when your buddy plays Pulse too!

warden shotty and old house 1v1s was peak siege

“Mav loses nades makes it the only one that loss them” thermite enters chat:

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.

Frost feels like a good intel op too if you place mats at entrances enemies have to shoot them out which can delay their rush and tell your team where they are coming from

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.

And now just 2 months later the new extended barrel doing 15% increase in da,mage changes this entire list

Are we gonna talk about that he put gridlock low but then proceeds to through a spike at a reinforced wall

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.

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'm new and started using both smoke and sledge as my mains just because I like the look and because they are in the top left of both💪

Pretty interesting to see how this list is different from the new one

I just started playing the game and I really like playing Montagne/Fuze on attack and Doc/Jager on defense, considering playing Smoke and Mute after watching this list

Glad to see Tim being a real friend and not a sell out like most would.

10:49 Jynxzi is coming for u after that one

Recently came back to Siege and i've just been spamming Sledge and Smoke just because I like them and now I see this :D

As an unranked player I agree with everything you said because I main thorn and the amount of kills I get compared to when I play ranked is insane 😂

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.

Super helpful now I’ll try smoke out😊

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

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.

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'm happy with this list since I use Mira and Sledge the most

Thanks it works amazing and i am getting wayy better now

idea? iana drone can “shoot” a lazer like twitchs drone but it only affects utility

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 🙏🏻

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 😭😭

Just wanna point out you always had the health boost as rook, its only recently that it shows as numbers but its always been there

I think my favorite operators are either Flores or Zero on attack and Smoke on defense. Who do I normally end up playing though? Probably Dokkaebi on attack and bandit on defense.

"im on my dead grandma's rocking chair" 😭😭 24:21

i main ace and mute/smoke so im glad to see them up so high

I've never played R6 and don't have much interest in it, but I enjoyed this video, very well made.

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

I just got Azumi today and she’s so good

I think you could buff sens by making it so there sens projections were not able to be walked through

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😂

Amaru supressed shotgun is slept on

Okay bro 4:21, he’s gotta be joking right, “weak utility” 😂

With lion you want to wait until uve planted or securing site then deny any roamers from coming back to stop you.

63 being kali. aitplane:let me help you there

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

If you set up drones when you play amaru it’ll be consistent and her gun goes brr

Grim combo with lion while playin below site with 2 french shotgun It’s insane but nobody’s does it Under rated asf

Why warden mustache look like azami cut tho🤣🤣

28:14 Ace Coastline

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.

I once killed 4 enemies with 3 kapkan traps on one door, I still don't know how they died all at the same time

I love the clash part lol i play tons of clash so many hate messages

tbh my mains are sledge (cuz hammer go bonk) and if sledge isnt an option its thatcher as having a emp is quite powerful. for defender its either mute, smoke or warden haha. all for different situations. i feel mute covers up intel denial, if im playing smoke it covers up, well it covers up the damn place in the most dangerous gas in the planet (i have a theory is nicocado avocados "gas"after tacobell) and ned fland-WARDEN for looking thru smoke, sens and so on. and i feel the mpx is kind of underated if you know how to use it. i dont but im tryna learn) so yeah :))

As a Pickle Rick smoke main this is the list of alltime

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: ✈️

i spat my drink out 23:22 hahah

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 love kali. I learned how to use my quickscoping skills from cod and clutched a 1v4 yesterday

"Let's hope that the next season brings us someone a little bit stronger." Well... it did, that's for goddamn sure lol
