Both of Valkyrie's secondary gadgets are useful for their own distinctive purposes. While C4 is the go-to choice for most players to pull off anti-vertical C4s, the impacts can also be beneficial in a specific scenario.

To prevent attackers from opening up hatches or reinforced walls, Valkyrie or any other defender can open up small angles in the roof or walls where Impact Grenades can be thrown. This is a very unique way to prevent attackers from taking control and deny them time.

How to play Valkyrie in Rainbow Six Siege

Being effective with Valkyrie comes down to Black-Eye cam placements and the roaming ability of a player. (Image via Ubisoft)

When a round starts, the first and foremost thing that Valkyrie needs to take care of is the placement of her cams. Whether a player wants all Black-Eye cams deployed or only a couple depends on a person's playstyle. However, make sure to place cams that offer defenders crucial information on attacker locations while the cam itself is hidden from plain sight.

While placing cams, make sure to avoid drones as they can spot and giveaway your cam hiding spots. After placing cams and helping defenders set up the objective by reinforcing necessary walls, try to play from vertical angles if possible, or in a flank location with close proximity to the objective site.

This will give you the option to fall back to the bomb site. In order to get the most out of your operator, always try to help your team with the intel you gather from your cams either vocally or on team chat.
