Best Solis Loadout for Rainbow Six Siege Year 9 Season 1

Here are the details regarding the best Solis Loadout in Rainbow Six Siege. Options for primary and secondary weapons, and gadgets have been assessed to give you a clearer idea of how we think this Defender Operator is best suited for the current Y9S1.

For Solis' Loadout, having the option to choose from a Primary SMG the P90 and a Primary Shotgun the ITA12L, she can base her loadout off of the map she will be picked in. For example, in maps where close-quarter combat scenarios prevail often, it is quite common for players to pick the ITA12L along with her trusty SMG-11.

Weapon	ITA12L
Sights	Iron Sights (this reduces aim down sights time)
Under Barrel	Laser (this reduces aim down sights time)

Usually dubbed as the best secondary weapon in the game by the players, SMG-11 provides Solis the ability to engage in gunfights in medium range while her primary is unavailable or requires a reload. Remember, switching to your secondary is always faster than reloading.

Weapon	SMG-11
Sights	Any 1x sight of a player's preference.
Barrel	Flash Hider (Reduces burst fire recoil)
Grips	Vertical Grip (Reduces vertical recoil)
Under Barrel	Laser (this reduces aim down sights time)

For bigger maps like Kafe Dostoyevsky and Bank, players looking for the best Solis Loadout can rely on the P90 more than the ITA12L alongside her SMG-11. This particular loadout helps players engage in more prolonged gunfights with an increase in the range she can be effective in. Although the P90 has a low damage output (22) per bullet, its high fire rate of 970 ensures that she can come out of gunfights after successfully taking down attackers.

Weapon	P90
Sights	Any 1x sight of a player's preference
Barrel	Flash Hider (Reduces burst fire recoil) for burst spray / Compensator (tightens the horizontal recoil) for prolonged spray
Under Barrel	Laser (this reduces aim down sights time)

Secondary Gadget choices

For a balanced Solis Loadout, players can opt for the Impact Grenades when running the SMG P90 primary as this will give her the option to open soft walls and floors for verticality. In case the opponents bring Attacker Operators like OSA, the aggressive counter to her is primarily Impact grenades. Even after the upcoming nerf to Impact Grenades, they will still be a potent choice for aggressive plays.

When running the Primary Shotgun ITA12L, players may opt for the bulletproof cam as it provides a ton of intel while being indestructible against normal bullets. In this Solis Loadout players can use the primar upcoming nerf to Impact Grenades y to make rotates and open soft walls and hatches while having her trust secondary to help her take gun fights at range.
