This tier consists of the best attackers in the game, each equipped with some of the best guns and gadgets that easily make them the go-to picks for Competitive play.

Ace

Ace has been the go-to operator to open reinforced walls ever since he was released back in Year 5. Equipped with the SELMA breaching charges and the powerful AK-12, Ace remains the most-picked hard breacher of the game.

Buck

Equipped with the Skeleton Key shotgun attachment and the powerful C8 rifle, the Canadian man remains the strongest soft breacher in the game. His versatility as both an entry fragger and someone who can make quick work of floors and soft walls easily makes him one of the best operators in the game.

He is also your go-to operator for vertical plays and has an advantage over Sledge as he can shoot down floors from a distance.

Dokkaebi

Intel is the key to winning matches in Rainbow Six Siege and Dokkaebi remains the queen to gather information as an attacker. Despite the nerfs she still remains one of the most picked characters thanks to her ability to hack defender cameras.

Ying

Ying’s Candela gadget is extremely useful for attackers, especially while executing a site push. She also has the T-95 LAW machine gun that allows her to provide covering fire without risking running out of ammunition easily.

Montagne

Montagne definitely had a rough couple of years, but Ubisoft finally took a shine on him. Thanks to his new set of buffs, he has consistently remained one of the go-to characters to pick if you want to get the Defuser planted. He is also great at holding off flankers thanks to his Le-Roc Shield and can cause a distraction to buy enough time to win the round.
