This opportunistic playstyle makes Skopos deadly, especially on maps that require a lot of vertical or horizontal control.

As per the lore, Kure Galanos (codename Skopos) was paralyzed in a mission. She has since taken to a fully modified wheelchair that enables her to engage in combat from the safety of her HQ, thanks to a couple of shells that are titled Talos and Colossus. She controls them via a controller on her wheelchair, and these shells are what players take control of during matches.

However, this list consists of spots that are reliable, easy to get into, offer safe disengage opportunities, and fall in drone blindspots after the new Rainbow Six Siege season introduced the Drone Boost feature.

This will allow Skopos to be an effective roamer who can return back to safety when being pressed by attackers.

A couple of places to hide Skopos' shells Rainbow Six Siege's Kanal are Harry Potter beneath White Stairs and Server Room beside the Kitchen hatch. These two spots can be utilized effectively with any objective site as they allow you to press attackers from positions that they won't expect you to be in.

Consulate is another large-scale map that can effectively utilize good Skopos shell placement on positions that are drone blindspots.

This allows you to surprise attackers from behind and pick apart their team.

A few effective places to hide Skopos shells in Consulate of Rainbow Six Siege are Server Room behind the Pillar Rack and corner of the Break Room. These two spots are on basement and second floor respectively and allow Skopos to cover a lot of ground to disrupt attackers and get kills as a bonus. Getting your shells in these positions requires no extra setup, unlike Penthouse Hallway in Coastline.

5) Clubhouse

Clubhouse is a compact map that features a lot of different interconnected regions. Therefore similar to Coastline, the inactive shell placement can be risky all while being rewarding with proper opportunity. This map requires attackers to approach bomb sites with proper space control, and this is where Skopos becomes a menace by being able to change positions and put pressure on them.

Two of the most effective places to hide Skopos' shells Rainbow Six Siege's Clubhouse map are Strip Club behind mini bar and Bathroom stall on Bedroom. Since the southern section is overtaken by attackers fairly easily, it is safer to consider placing the inactive shell in the northern and western parts of the map.
