Valkyrie is one of the recon characters you can play in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. She has many unique abilities that make her an attractive proposition for players with a more tactical playing style.

She also has Black Eye cams that even involve deceased players in the game, giving them something to do and supporting their team to victory. However, the placement of these cameras is a tricky situation.

When you play against experienced players, you can be sure they will be on the lookout for cameras hidden in prominent places. Hence the need for the Valkyrie player to be smart about placement. Avoid predictable bends and look for locations that are below eye levels. This will undoubtedly make it harder for opponents to spot Black Eye cams.

Tricking Bandit

Bandit is a pretty useful character in Rainbow Six Siege, so it is not a surprise that this operator has a high adaptation in the game. It plays the role of both attackers and defenders and utilizes its abilities to gain an advantage over the attacker.

The closer one is to Bandit, the more likelihood of them getting caught up in one of its tricks, be it an electrified wall or its ability to zap enemy devices to death.

But one way a player can survive the Bandit’s onslaught is by using Thatcher’s EMP grenades. These EMP grenades would destroy the Bandit’s battery, simply making the operator useless for a while.

Clash Reduction

Clash is another handy operator in the game, and the combat against her is even more challenging if the opposing player is skilled. The biggest advantage this operator has is her shield.

Not only this shield protects the character from any damage, but it also allows her to navigate the map and assist her companions. So as one can understand, taking a skilled clash player out is exceptionally challenging.

However, there is one character that can give Clash a run for her money, and that is Zofia. Zofia has three concussion grenades that will force Clash to abandon her shield, giving the teammates enough opportunity to take Clash out.

Remember, Zofia cannot take out Clash on her own as the opportunity would be too brief, requiring players to team up to have any chance of success.

Dokkaebi/IQ

Taking out defenders can be difficult in Rainbow Six Siege. Not only do they have an excellent defence, but they can easily camp at a location, forcing the opposing players to take unnecessary risks in trying to take them out. However, the tricky part is still locating them.

But with Dokkaebi’s Logic Bomb, players can get an accurate defender’s position. This ability must be used with IQ, as it can see phones through the walls and easily spot enemy locations. But it would only work if every team member has turned their phone off during the use of Logic Bomb, as IQ would not be able to distinguish between teammates’ phones or the enemy’s devices.

So, these are the valuable gadget tricks in Rainbow Six Siege. Make sure to use these tricks to improve your gameplay.
