Best Doc loadout in Rainbow Six Siege

When looking to provide sustainability options for themselves and their team, players look forward to equipping the best Doc loadout in Rainbow Six Siege. As a defensive operator, Doc specializes in healing teammates, reviving those in a DBNO state, and providing his team with a tactical advantage during combat. Although with a three-amor one-speed kit, it can be sluggish for him to roam around, the extra health allows more headroom for error during gunfights.

Also known as Gustave Kateb, Doc hails from Paris, France, and is a part of the Wolfguard Squad in Rainbow Six Siege. Being one of the legacy operators, he is among the oldest operators. Boasting one of the largest inventories available to a defender, Doc can be played with many different gun setups. However, in all scenarios, he always tends to fill the role of a fragger in the team.

In this article, we will take a look at the best Doc loadout in Rainbow Six Siege and how players can utilize this kit effectively.

To pick the most optimal Doc loadout in Rainbow Six Siege, players just need to consider their preferred weapon and what kind of ranges they intend to take gunfights in. Even though one of Doc's primary weapons performs better at long ranges, players can still use all available primaries in CQB.

Overall, Doc is an operator who does not fill any utilitarian role like a trapper, intel-gatherer, or breach denier and is therefore an expendable pick. However, in terms of sustainability, he can perform well even in a strategic team composition.

Primary weapon choices for Twitch loadout in Rainbow Six Siege

MP5 is one of the most well-known weapons in Rainbow Six Siege, due to its reputation as a reliable choice for a Doc loadout. As such, players are very accustomed to the MP5 and its lethality.

Rated as an A-tier weapon in the Defender Weapons tier list, the MP5 offers a high fire rate and good damage per bullet for a weapon of its category. Other than that, its negligible horizontal and vertical recoil makes it the most popular choice for a majority of the Doc mains out there.

Weapon	MP5
Muzzle	Flash Hider (to decrease burst recoil)
Grip	Vertical grip (to reduce vertical recoil)
Underbarrel	Laser (to decrease ADS time)

The P90 is the second most used option in a Doc loadout in Rainbow Six Siege, due to the gun's higher horizontal recoil on prolonged sprays compared to the MP5. However, with a proper loadout, the P90 is still a lethal weapon, mostly owing to its magazine capacity and high fire rate.

Weapon	P90
Muzzle	Flash hider (to decrease burst recoil), Compensator (to decrease horizontal recoil)
Underbarrel	Laser (to decrease ADS time)

The SG-CQB, Doc’s third primary weapon, offers lethal stopping power and high destructivity. Combined with a secondary pistol, this shotgun can effectively fulfill anchor duties in close-range combat. The major drawbacks of this weapon are its pump reload mechanic and low fire rate.

Weapon	SG-CQB
Grip	Vertical grip (to decrease vertical recoil)
Underbarrel	Laser (to decrease ADS time)

These loadouts allow Doc to assist the defending team with objective site preparation.

Both of Doc's secondary gadgets allow the whole team to benefit from its presence. Having a Bulletproof camera and a set of Barbed Wires makes Doc beneficial to the team in ways other than providing sustainability and HP.

The Barbed Wires can be used as traps that slow down and damage attackers, effectively giving away their location. The Bulletproof camera on the other hand allows the entire defending team to gather intel on the area it has been deployed in.

How to play Doc in Rainbow Six Siege

Being one of the original Legacy operators in Rainbow Six Siege, Doc has been well known to the player base, be it newcomers or long-time veterans. He has a low-skill floor, which allows players to just pick him up in the operator selection menu and utilize his primary gadget whenever necessary. Additionally, due to having a low skill ceiling, it only takes a bit of game sense and map knowledge to use the rest of his kit properly.

Whenever you pick Doc, make sure you spend the prep phase helping your team make rotations between objective sites, lines of sight, and footholes wherever necessary to pressure attackers from flooding in. During the action phase, you can choose to engage in gunfights and fall back when you take damage and lose HP. Boosting HP for yourself and your teammates can help your team win rounds, so use the Stims wisely.

Additionally, Doc's Stims can fully revive downed defenders, restoring all of their health, while manual revives only grant 20 HP. Doc also has a self-revive mechanic, allowing him to bring himself back up if a Stim is available. To be an effective Doc player and a helpful ally, always keep track of your team's HP and your Stim pistol ammo count.
