Lesion features an S-tier SMG in his loadout as per our Defender weapons tier list of Rainbow Six Siege. It boasts a high fire rate, a quick reload time, negligible recoil, and enough damage per bullet to take on multiple engagements. Even though there's a choice to equip a primary shotgun, players avoid using it due to its poor fire rate and effective range. Furthermore, it falls short due to having T-5 SMG as one of the better primary options.

Weapon	T-5 SMG
Muzzle	Flash hider (to decrease burst-fire recoil)
Grip	Vertical Grip (to reduce vertical recoil)
Underbarrel	Laser (to decrease ADS time)

Although there are two secondary weapon options to choose from in a Lesion loadout, the Super Shorty will always be the better pick.

It's been some time since Lesion lost his Impact grenades, which considerably toned down his lethality. However, with the two remaining choices currently available, he can assist his team by denying or gathering intel.

Lesion can choose from either Observation blockers or Bulletproof cameras. The former lets defenders block attacker drone lines of sight within a certain field of view, while the latter assists the whole defender team by providing intel on attackers' locations. It can also use an EMP charge to disable attacker tools temporarily.

To play Lesion in Rainbow Six Siege, be aware of where attackers can enter the map from and what areas are they bound to take control of. In-depth knowledge of these things will let you utilize your primary gadget Gu-Mines effectively.

Place them under windows or at the doorways where attackers can enter. Additionally, make sure that your mines are hidden on corners or behind door frames since they cannot become invisible after deployment any longer.

Don't stay idle in the prep phase. Assist your team by making rotations, lines of sight, and footholes wherever necessary. If you aren't confident about doing those properly, even helping the team with reinforcing walls and hatches will be sufficient.

Additionally, when dealing with shields, be on the lookout for their entry points and how they intend to enter the objective site. This information will help you lay your traps for both shields and attackers and effectively delay them from hitting the site.
