Ranking EVERY Secondary Gadget In R6 - Tier List (2023) 

in defense of prox alarms, they move the attackers crosshair away from where they want to keep it, allowing you to easily swing them

Prox alarms are funny for seeing an attacker panic and runn away XD.

I think prox alarms are a little better then you give them credit for, should be in C imo. The reason you gave was valid, but they sound MUCH louder than barbed wire and are useful when you are not guarding a certain area but would want know where they are coming from, like elas girzmot mines.

i really wouldve thought that proximity mines and claymores would a been higher tiered

Honestly I get about 1 kill every 5 rounds when I use Claymores. They are great if you know how to place them. And flashbangs for example do like nothing, at least it feels like that.

S tier: nades, c4, impacts. A tier: smokes, deployable shield, gonne-6, impact emp. B tier: claymore, proxy alarms, bp camera, hb charge, barbed wire. C tier: breach charge. D tier: flashbangs.

The entire Tier list right here only makes sense if there's a coordinated team on either side that plays out their part perfectly. People mostly don't look out for claymore's or use their utility to clear them and people tend to panic when running into prox alarms. Also according to the games Designer's Notes Y7S4.2 Jäger is the most picked defense operator for Y7S4 with Wamai being in a decent spot for pickrates himself aswell which makes your whole argument against smoke grenades redundant. Hard Breach charges are a lot more useful, because in uncoordinated teams (like there usually are in solo queue) you can most likely never rely on your hard breacher and it's better to have secondary hard breaching options than bringing any more of the other attacking secondary gadget options. All in all though you can't properly rank these, because Siege doesn't have a formula for what works best every time. Every game is different with different people each time so some things might work better than others. The only secondary gadgets I'd exclude from that statement are C4's, deployable shields and the impact EMP's for the reasons you already named.

Prox alarms are probably your best friends if you soloQ

I disagree with the placement of proximity alarms like most of the comments. It is the only gadget I think which shows a notification when people trigger it (ie the "+10 Proximity Alarm Triggered") which is broken if you think about it. You can literally hold an angle on the other side of the map while being notified if the other team is on the other side of the map, it is underrated af and I think I find it most useful on cav where she requires a lot of rat plays or just pure rushing for her to be efficient, so just gaining a slight amount of idea where the enemies are without making a noise by checking the camera is a huge advantage that could easily turn the match around (note this is only applicable in solo que, with a team you might as well bring the impacts and rely on your team for info) Bonus: Like many other comments said, large noise = hiding your own footsteps and movement, only counter for prox alarm is a shot or an explosive and now with the reload changes it is more useful as they would immediately reload after that shot, giving you an opportunity and I don't think people are dumb enough to use explosives, the only thing that can counter nokk besides a jammer, and now with brava, they literally have no reason to hack proximity alarms as she might as well as go for kapkan or maestro so I rarely see a kludge drone being useful against proximity alarm. I would put proximity alarms in like high b tier or low a tier.

Proximity alarms: Clear info heard even during intense gunfights, can be used to distract enemies. Barbed wire: Info that might be overheard during gunfights, slows enemy down a lot, Can be a double edged blade due to the enemies hearing when you or your team run through the wire. Normal Fella: They both have their strength, but due to the current meta slowing down might be a little tiny bit better on avg. This Guy: "...the barbed wire is *MILES BETTER* than the proximity alarm"

I had no idea you could shoot bullet proof cameras from the side to break them 😂

bro is going for the record amount of worst takes

impact tricking is a realy important feature that wasnt mentioned

Prox alarms are literally A or B tier wth?? It „only“ tells you where the enemy is coming from. You can place down two free callouts anywhere on the map as a defender and the fact that it doesn‘t slow em down is a problem, who cares?! Info is king.

Flashbang can create sound to cover your movements. Prox alarms are great counters to lurkers, especially Nokk who is one of the best lurker/ frag role in this meta. You missed so many details you didn’t dive into

claymores are S tiers. They get me so many kills and now that you have 2 there even better

The easiest counter to C4's is to throw a EMP secondarh grenade. I use this when playing osas on windows

I love the deployable shield because of how stupid you could sometimes be with it. You can essentially be a terrible shield operator if you just hold one and crouch spam around everywhere. It has saved me a few times.

Seeing a clip on fortress made me happy, glad to see people still playing on cas maps

i feel like beast’s catchphrase is “barbed-wire is required on most bomb sites”

Once again great content! Informative and well edited👍 Can’t wait to see you make it big

Prox alarms are one of my favorite secondary gadgets. They allow me to alter my strategy and possibly get free kills when the attacker moves their crosshair to destroy it. I noticed this works especially well on oryx

Whoever thinks proximity alarms are D tier in an information based game is straight up smoking crack. Yeah sure they don't slow you down but prox alarms are 1. Louder than barbed wire and 2. More versatile. Tell me in what planet can you place barbed wire on the ceiling, wall, in a shelf of a desk, inside of a plant, etc etc etc. You can be super creative with prox alarms and make them a pain to get rid of or expect. Barbed wire can only be placed on the ground or on top of certain surfaces.

i think shields are 100% the best just because they offer guaranteed value: attackers need to destroy them to push certain spots. id personally swap impacts and bulletproof; bulletproofs require attackers to drain utility and can offer vital information if left up. they can also be hidden in places like bank lobby and basically be an extra camera that can emp utility and remain up the entire round (even in pro league tsm had a bpc that stayed up the entire round and fed them huge info); super underrated

This is a really well done video man! good shit brother ❤

claymore should be in B rank, the only weaknesses it has was the nerf it got last update, which highlights the color of its laser

There really aren't any "bad" utilities. Any can change the way how a round goes

if you put a bulletproof camera on the other side of a reinforced wall after making a little hole with your meele shooting the side of it is harder

Video idea you should do who is the best trap operator I know there’s many but maybe you could divide it by lethal traps and more intel based trap just to separate ops like kapkan and ela

Swamp Clay and Barb. Barb and Prox are the same Gadget with different a tweak, while the Claymore can enable you on some windows or stairs. They even can win a lost game by time to get on the Defuser or by a defender who stoped thinking after the last gunfight. Edit: Also a Contact Nade for a Clay is considers a worth trade by most players, so the should be worth equal.

Smokes are definitely better than flashes and impacts definitely atleast A tier if not S tier

your videos have helped me get much better at siege. thank you beast! 💙

You can use proximity alarms for nitro cells and other gadgets as well as having a way to swing without making sound, if you are being in an obvious spot you can always just wait and be ready, its better than a lot of gadgets

Should make a gadget for defense that is basically a mini Valk cam, it’s slightly bigger and you only have one but it can shoot like a maestro

Claymores are underrated as fuck. If used properly it’s so much harder to get rid of. If they don’t see it then it’s a kill. If they see it but can’t shoot it without getting in its range, you’ve blocked off a flank

Prox and BP cams shouldn't be so low and EMP impact shouldn't be so high, change my mind

prox alarms aren’t bad, u can hear them way more and u get a notification

Not the most consistant way but you can quite easily counter C4 with impact emp nades

I can’t speak for diamond or champ lobbies but in emerald or lower I find claymores are extremely effective, lower ranked players don’t look out for them as much. Placing them on common flank positions and in run outs gets me 2-3 kills every single game. If u know where to place them they’re a great gadget

Tbf these are very biased, some people can be very creative with any gadget

Even tho when defenders destroy claymore you get a call out. So claymores are very good and easy method to not stare one door full round. I have about 4000h on r6 and in my personal opinion claymores should be higher. Shield is the best one tho.

You said there are no counters to nitro cells, but that's not necessarily true. Its not perfect, but something I used to do for my squad when smoke planting was save a thatcher EMP to throw at the teammate planting, for any possible C4 throws at them as well. It disables them for long enough to finish planting and make a quick escape. I haven't tried with EMP impacts, but i assume they can accomplish something similar if timed correctly

breaching charges are a solid 8/10, they are like a mini sledge

I do a lot of claymore kills. For example theough drone holes that are untypical. Or even the rotation between the bombsides, if they are slightly levered and you wanna plant, i place the right there. You cant see the laser, also it slows defensers down cause mostly they have to shoot it, not wverey operator has contact grenades and I use claymores mostly one in the beginning against run outs and one in the late game were no one expect it or doest have the contacts anymore. I would give it and A at least.

Wtf I'd rank proximity alarms a tier

I take prox alarms more than all of these except c4 and Sheild it's really good cor roamers so they can flank crop behimc

Been playing for months and didn’t know u could melee a bulletproof cam😂

i have gotten so many kills and assists from proximity they are a personal favorite

I just use Proxy alarms to annoy the hell out of the enemy and try to convince my team to all run proxy alarms to just put it in one spot or area just to bully there ears if they decide to push trough that way. "Lets push here guys." What they hear the coming 30 seconds: *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

bulletproof cam is underrated af

breach over claymores are criminal

Can you do a video on Benjamasters road to pro league? Thank you, and i appreciate the content.

I agree with list mostly if your communicating

where would you place observation blockers?

Where would you put observation blockers? I assume c tier?

never let bro cook again

Claymores Prox alarms and smokes severely underrated BP cam underrated The Gonne and impact emps overrated tbh Also impacts are overrated, but not because of their uses, but because of how people use them If you’re not impact tricking or roaming, I’d always bring something else Anchors don’t really get that much use out of them, and could bring a shotgun with barbed wire bp cam or prox alarms to help set up site

And another W video🧡🍊

Prenerf Barbedwire Bandit was the GOAT 😎

Smoke is S tier! Those are just insanly good if you only want to use them once per a match!

Would you rather have a operator with a new type of explosive or a operator with two secondary gadgets

Nah prox alarm is pretty good they make hella noise and alart if your getting flanked

Hey Can someone tell me what are the weapon/attachments skins on jaeger at 0:30 please? And where can i get those

The mouth of facts

never cook again, you burnt it

Nades are high a tier and so is hard breach charge. Y hard breach charge so low?

Deployable shield is too powerful it needs a nerf.

W video

I dont even need this video ive already watched all of the operator versus lol

Bro forgot about drones and cameras

The prox alarm is In A tier

claymores atleastttt B

Put the bp above the pa... big p

Gone 6 = E

impacts are S tier

All of these takes are mid, proximity alarms are WAY better than barbed wire. First of there small and throwable so they can stick to top of walls of staircases. Second the attackers won’t know there their if you use them properly allowing for easy detection if you will. Meanwhile barbed wire does none of that it only slows you down💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Ok buddy😑

Super bad takes wtf, also the flash bangs are used for taking control of sites not burning two of the least used ops

I feel like proximity alarms are being done super dirty here. I'd easily take it over claymore and likely soft breaches depending on the map / op I'm playing

your takes are mid like what do you suppose i use instead of a breach charge to do the job of a breach charge

NEVER RANK AGAIN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

yeah you’re not real💀

Do not make a list again

Breach charge is great for clearing out castle barricades and frost mats on windows.
