Rainbow Six Siege has 78 operators: 39 attackers and 39 defenders. Each one has a unique gadget (except Striker and Sentry) and a speed/health rating from 1 to 3. The newest is Noor, a defender built to counter shield operators, who arrived with Y11S3 Operation Split Fire on September 1, 2026. Before him came Solid Snake (Y11S1, March 2026), the guest attacker from Metal Gear.
Two sides
Attackers (39)Breach, scout and push into the objective. From the 2015 originals like Sledge and Thermite to Solid Snake (Y11S1).
Defenders (39)Reinforce, trap and hold the site. From Smoke and Mute to Noor, the shield-countering defender from Y11S3.
Striker and SentryRainbow's own recruits (Y9S2). They have no unique gadget – instead they pick from every secondary gadget for their side.

Good first operators
Ubisoft marks a few operators as starters. These are easy to learn and useful in almost every round:
SledgeSmash soft walls and floors with his hammer – simple and always useful.
ThermiteOpens reinforced walls. Every attack needs a hard breacher, so he's always welcome.
Mute & BanditStarter defenders who stop drones and hard breaches.
Rook & DocEasy anchors: Rook hands out armor, Doc heals and revives with his stim pistol.
Tips
Speed vs. healthEach operator is rated 1–3 for speed and health. A 3-speed is fast but fragile; a 3-health is slow but tough.
UnlockingThe 20 launch operators cost 1,000 Renown. Newer operators cost more at first and get cheaper as new seasons arrive.
Expect bansIn Ranked each team bans operators before the match. Learn at least two operators per side so a ban never leaves you stuck.
Check the latest changesNoor, Tachanka and Solid Snake all changed in the Y11S3.2 mid-season update.
