In Dual Front game mode, two teams will be tasked to protect their own three sectors while trying to take over opposing sectors. Players will be required to capture all enemy sectors before the other team to secure a victory. Specific to this game mode is the symmetrical role system, which will allow both teams to pick from a select list of attackers and defenders, with a limit of one operator per team.

At a random point during this Dual Front game mode, Epsilon will announce the commencement of a secondary objective which will provide the securing team additional benefits that will help secure the victory quicker.

Sectors in the Rainbow Six Siege X game mode Dual Front

As evident from the Closed Beta access of Siege X, map sectors will be an essential part of the upcoming Dual Front game mode. It will play the role of objective sites for both teams. To secure an enemy sector, players are given a Sabotage Kit, which will act like a Defuser found in the Bomb game mode in the currently predominant 5v5 Ranked playlist. This Sabotage kit can be planted anywhere in the sector room to start securing it.

To prevent this, the opposing team will be given 120 seconds to destroy the Sabotage kit and regain control of their sector. Every sector will have two checkpoints, which will allow attacking teams to resume progress from two specific checkpoints.

If a team is taking too long to secure a sector, it will go into a disrupted state, which will allow the attacking team to secure it. A fully disrupted sector can be secured instantly.
