Primary weapon choices for Deimos loadout in Rainbow Six Siege

Both of Deimos' primary weapons are some of the best in their respective categories, offering playstyles that benefit specific map designs. The AK-74M is a reliable and deadly assault rifle in most scenarios since it has good damage per bullet, a higher-than-average magazine size, and low recoil thanks to the vertical grip that the Nomad lacks.

Weapon	AK-74M
Sights	Player Preference
Muzzle	Compensator (helps reduce horizontal recoil)
Grip	Vertical Grip (helps lower vertical recoil)
Underbarrel	Laser (helps decrease ADS time)

However, on maps where close-quarter combat is prevalent, the M590A1 is a valid choice since the Vendetta is a reliable medium-range combat weapon. Shotguns are lethal at close range and defenders do not expect attackers to run a primary shotgun. This, in itself, can catch defenders out of the blue. Furthermore, the M590A1 can also be utilized to open up soft walls and hatches.

Weapon	M590A1
Sights	Iron Sight (helps decrease ADS time)
Underbarrel	laser (helps decrease ADS time)

For secondary gadgets, Deimos can choose from either a Frag Grenade or Hard Breach charge. While the latter can be used to open up attacker entry points like high-priority reinforced walls, the Frag Grenade is a better choice as it helps Deimos fulfill his role as roam hunt operator.

How to play Deimos in Rainbow Six Siege

Deimos is a strong addition to any attacker lineup as he can single-handedly isolate roamers and pressure them to fall back. When starting a round, you must focus on red-marking opponents so that they are detected on the match header panel. Detected operators can be tracked through walls, and their locations will be live pinged, like release-state Lion during Operation Chimera.

Even though defenders get to see your location as well, it isn't a live ping. This means that they get updated location intel at regular intervals. This will allow you to swiftly take down roamers on your own. Even if you don't need to kill them, putting pressure is sometimes enough to assist your attacking team in isolating them in segments and taking map control.

One important thing to keep in mind while playing Deimos is that you can only use your Vendetta handgun when tracking a target, and it will have only six bullets. Therefore, it is crucial to make every bullet count.
