The primary assault rifle found in a Zero loadout in Rainbow Six Siege is the SC300K, a weapon unique to Sam Fisher. This rifle comes with a high 45 damage per bullet, medium destructibility, 800rpm fire rate, and a small 25+1 round magazine.

Practically, this assault rifle is very effective in matches thanks to its high destructive power, but comes with high vertical recoil. To manage this vertical kick, a few attachments are necessary:

Weapon	SC300K
Muzzle	Flash hider (to reduce burst recoil)
Grip	Vertical grip (to reduce vertical recoil)
Underbarrel	Laser (to reduce ADS time)

The MP7 is capable of dealing 32 damage per bullet, has a 900rpm fire rate, and uses a 30+1 bullet magazine. Even with low destructibility, the MP7 shreds in close-quarter battles (CQB) and is often the primary choice for Zero players who like to get into the map quickly and take gunfights.

Two distinct secondary weapons can be selected in a Zero loadout in Rainbow Six Siege. One of these is a semi-automatic low-caliber pistol that assists Zero with stealth scenarios. Meanwhile, the other is a hand cannon that shoots one explosive round capable of destroying Defender gadgets.

The choice of the secondary weapon relies completely on the approach of the player towards a particular round. If the Defenders are using numerous utilities that are hard to deal with, the Gonne-6 will be the more effective option. In other non-specific scenarios, the 5.7 USG is a good choice to have as a backup pistol for when you run out of bullets in your primary.

Players can select two secondary gadgets in a Zero loadout in Rainbow Six Siege. One of them is Hard Breach Charges, while the other is Claymores. When dealing with aggressive Defenders who like to roam and jump out of windows and doorways of the map, Claymores are a safe bet for flank watch duties.

On the other hand, dealing with reinforced hatches is where Hard Breach Charges come in handy. These allow players to open up angles onto various objective sites and high-priority areas, while simultaneously pressuring Attackers into unsafe positions.

In order to play Zero effectively in Rainbow Six Siege, players must have an in-depth knowledge of the map. Using his primary gadget, Argus Launcher, requires a deep understanding of how it interacts with different map environments. With a recent buff, Zero is now able to deploy up to six Argus cameras, that assist the entire team with intel and anti-gadget capabilities.

During the drone phase at the start of a round, utilize your drone aggressively to get a rough idea of the Defender lineup and their objective setup. Saving a drone is not a necessity for Zero, as he has his Argus cameras to provide him the required information.

During the action phase, survival is your primary objective. Make sure the secondary gadgets and your cameras have been deployed in the required high-priority areas, before taking risky gunfights.

For large maps, you must deploy your Argus camera to areas where Defenders can be found lurking or holding angles. This will allow the camera operators to view Defender positions and approach the objective accordingly.

A noteworthy feature of the Argus cameras is that they can be rotated to view the other side of a deployed surface. This allows players to survey two different perspectives and provide ample intel to the Attacker team. An unlimited amount of lasers can be fired from the camera; however, they have a cooldown timer after every shot.
