For a Twitch loadout in Rainbow Six Siege, many players consider F2 a viable option. While this is true, the gun has become inconsistent and unable to perform over longer ranges after receiving several nerfs. Even in the hands of Pro League players, the F2 has always been the worse choice compared to the 417 DMR.

This semi-automatic marksman rifle boasts a ton of damage per bullet, high destruction capability, and a B-tier rating in our Attacker weapons tier list. When considering this DMR's negligible recoil, tactfully experiment with different attachments to best suit your needs and perform optimally in each scenario. This makes the 417 the most reliable choice for a primary weapon in a Twitch loadout.

As for the F2, it should only be kept as a last resort for those who don't like to tap their trigger button to utilize semi-automatic weapons. The F2 can perform most reliably in close-range gunfights. After having its vertical grip removed, the gun suffers from accuracy issues, which makes it a hit-or-miss rifle in larger maps. However, there still are attachment options that can help provide the best setup for players interested in using the Famas.

To play Twitch, be aware of the objective site, have ample game-sense and map knowledge, and have an idea of what defender utilities you're up against.

During the prep phase, make sure the objective site is known to the entire team and spot which pieces of utility you can deal with. This assessment should consider the attack pathway and strategy being employed by your team so that you can provide the most support with your primary gadget.
