Utility

What is the utility?

Blitz R6 operator is an interesting attacker to describe his utility. The shield itself is a crucial aspect of utility as it completely changes the playstyle of an operator.

On top of having shield blocking bullets, Blitz is equipped with a ballistic Flash shield that blinds enemies inside an effective range.

In Rainbow 6 Siege Blitz tin can use flash four times with vii seconds cooldown between each usage.

Defenders nowadays inside 4 meters from the shield are fully blinded for almost four seconds.

One of the heady aspects of Blitz'south flash is that facing away from him will not negate the effect, dissimilar flashbangs.

How to use utility?

Using flash of your shield is a straightforward mechanic from the gameplay mechanic perspective as all it requires is pushing utility button.

The complexity aspect of utilizing wink comes from getting within four meters from the defender, which we will describe in the "How to play" section. Therefore, this department volition be short and focused on tips around close quarter gainsay.

Don't hoard on Flashes!

Showtime, don't hold on to flashes "for later." If yous are within the range, flash the enemy. You lot have four flashes and might not have a risk to apply it subsequently in case you lot die now or take unnecessarily impairment early on on.

Furthermore, flashing an enemy is not the only way to win an run into. Kickoff hip-firing defender when within 6-vii meters and so use flash when within constructive range.
When an enemy is flashed, he/she takes off the left paw from the gun and puts information technology close to face up (picture on the right)
Acquit in mind that enemies partially flashed (4+ till 6 meters) will also prove such animation!

Don't be Impatient!

One time an enemy is flashed, await a moment before ADSing. Most enemies will blindly panic shot, and so in case their crosshair was on you before the flash went off, they might still hit y'all!

Just wait a moment for them to shot in a different direction before going for finishing blow.

Apply Sprint ability

Rainbow Six Siege Blitz has a special power at his disposal – shield dart.
If you printing the run push (default on PC shift), yous will showtime sprinting with your shield. During an blitheness, yous move at a higher speed than the default walking, and your easily are hidden behind the shield. Thus your right arm is less exposed to defenders bullets. Nonetheless, legs remain weak spots, and then don't overuse this technique.

Planting as a shield

When planting a breaching charge or bomb defuser, Rush R6 operator puts his shield on his back. Shield blocks then bullets shot in his back, which can be used every bit additional protection when planting defuser. Therefore, we recommend planting with your back exposed to the enemy to avoid being shot during the animation.

Interactions

SYNERGIES

Blitz can practise very well on his own every bit a lone wolf operator. However, his effectiveness raises when paired with a teammate with a gun.
If y'all make up one's mind to squad up with Blitz, attempt to cover his flanks and forestall your shield buddy from being surrounded by enemies.
When Rush R6 operator has the total attending of defender(due south), its teammate's fourth dimension to shoot distracted enemies.

Additionally, teammates can drone for Blitz. This technique will aid with aggressively clearing rooms and minimizing the hazard of sneaky defender having a spring on the shield.

Counters:

Currently, in Rainbow Six Siege Blitz is not a hard counter to any specific defensive operator. Instead, he is an excellent counter to isolated defenders.

Countered by:

Rush is not hard countered by any specific defender. However, item gadgets are specifically annoying to shield operators, such every bit:

• Nitro cell
  Despite shield lowering impairment dealt by explosives, C4s tin be yet quite a pain to bargain with

• Barbed Wire
  Slows y'all down, making you an easier target and closing the gap between you and defender more laborious chore

• Traps
  Operators such as Kapkan, Frost, and Lesion can be extremely annoying to Rainbow Six Siege Blitz players. Shield obscures your view then in many cases you lot may have more than problem seeing a trap.
  Additionally, Lesion'south Gu mines disable sprinting ability until pulled off.

• Smoke'south Gas canisters
  Combined with barbed wires, Fume's utility is i of (if non the about) mortiferous counters to Blitz

• Mute'south Point disruptor
  Device jams possibility to flash enemies.

Playstyle

ENTRY FRAGGER

The playstyle of Blitz is described very well past his nickname, which means lightning in German. In the case of Blitz R6 Siege operator, lightning relates to both his utility and Blitzkrieg.
For those unaware of term Blitzkrieg – it is a war strategy developed past Germans which revolves effectually a very offensive mindset of quickly gaining control over the enemy's territories with fast, surprising and powerful attacks.

Are you getting a picture already of what playing with Blitz will be like? Good!
Now let's go over-utilizing the above mindset in R6, annoying defenders similar few others can and describing What-not-to-practice as a shield.

Playing shield operators in Siege is a significantly different experience than using any other operator type. Some players will observe it plumbing equipment their fashion from the go-go, others might take a difficult fourth dimension getting the hang of shields.

The latter applies to me. I still find it hard at times to resist certain temptations and avoid making mistakes that are the about mutual reasons for shield players to die. Such mistakes are:

• Aiming Down Sight (ADS) also much!

  Seriously, don't ADS as shield unless necessary or safe.
  In a game similar R6, this may feel counterintuitive equally you Aim Down Sight virtually all the time when non playing shield.

  However, using ADS as a shield volition get y'all killed more often than not. That's due to exposing your nigh vulnerable body part – caput – as the shield is lowered in the process, making your head an piece of cake target.
  More experienced defenders volition try to bait you into ADS so that they tin headshot you easily.
  Very often, people flash and then ADS immediately – don't do that! Wait a slight moment before doing so. Defenders will oftentimes blind fire when flashed, so let initially placed crosshair go off from you and then end them off.

  You may wonder, "what should I practice instead?" if yous cannot reliably kill defenders from a long/medium altitude without ADSing. We will get there later on, for now, focus on resisting the temptation to ADS.

• Non droning

  I understand what goes through people head at times when playing shield:
  "Drones are for others. Who needs Intel when I got that darn shield, I tin face up check and push button defenders, correct?"
  Well, no, wrong!

  You lot are not invincible even though you have a shield. Rainbow Six Siege Blitz'south most significant weaknesses are his flanks and crossfires. The best mode to forestall both vulnerabilities from getting yous killed is to drone location earlier pushing information technology. Thank you to Intel gained you can assess the all-time method of engaging defenders.

  Recollect: Intel is a vital aspect of success in R6 Siege. This principle still applies when playing Rush, even though you have a shield in front of your face.

• Pushing without teammate(s)

  Blitz is one of the selected few operators in R6 Siege who does really well on his ain. Even so, as mentioned in the previous point – your kryptonite is flanks.
  Pushing together with teammate considerably neutralizes flanks and gives you a sure amount of condolement, allowing to focus better on pushing defenders.
  Additionally, every bit a shield, you lot will be the main focus of engaged defenders, which allows your buddy to get easy kills. This aspect is especially helpful when facing more than 1 defender simultaneously.

• Not using the surroundings

  Not using the environs to your advantage is a common and costly mistake. Shield players tend to linger without because their surroundings and underutilize angles.

  Example: to peek a door and check the situation on your correct side, you tin hunker and keep the right hand concealed behind the door frame.
  Wherever in that location is no entrance or soft wall, that'south the side you should go on your dorsum to equally no chance is expected from that direction.

Now that we got the principal "What-not-to-do" described let's focus on how to get the chore done with Blitz.

The art of Blitzing in Rainbow Six Siege is about:

1. Knowing and utilizing your strengths:

• 1vs1 close range god
  Blitz's bread and butter are fighting defenders one by one in close-quarter gainsay (two-five meters), where nosotros can utilize our utility, pistol, and melee most efficiently.

  Try to melee enemies before they do then. Existence meleed makes you lot vulnerable for a few seconds, with shield moved by ninety degrees to your left.

  A tip for such situations is to turn 90 degrees to the right; your shield tin however block bullets if faced towards the enemy.

Play Video

• shield blocks bullets from the front
  It is not always an easy chore, just make sure shoulders are squared to the target.

2. Limiting the impact and risks of your vulnerabilities:

• long & medium altitude engagements

  Playing Rush, we desire to hipfire almost all the time!

  Hipfire has a penalisation to accuracy, and so we are at a astringent disadvantage when engaging defenders from more than than a few meters.
  Then let'due south make it clear: As Rainbow Six Siege Blitz we not going to win long-distance engagements reliably against equally skilled defenders.

  Information technology would be best if you used ADS merely to kill defenders in particular scenarios, such equally defender running away from you, reloading after emptying prune, not beingness aware of your presence, paying attention to someone else.

  Otherwise, hipfire while closing the gap steadily.
  You also do not want to spam hipfire shots from a farther distance. Instead tap fire and practice and then preferably beingness crouched and still – this increases the accuracy of your shots!
  In case you have to ADS from a far altitude, do your best to make your head a hard target to hit.

  Such tin exist achieved past not standing still, irresolute stance, and leaning positioning.

• flanks & crossfires

  Have into account the environment when deciding where to attack.
  In instance defenders established crossfire on your position or accept high possibility to surround you, retreat and choose another place of entry.

  Nosotros should always try to double the cover we have past combining the defense force provided by the surroundings with our shield.

• explosives

  Shields lower harm dealt by explosives, such as bear upon grenades and nitro cells.
  Reduction in damage depends on how many body parts are hidden from explosive. You have the least amount of damage crouching while facing an explosion with your shield.

  In case you know (or assume) defender(southward) having nitro cells, do not always push their location immediately.

  Instead, endeavor to bait them into throwing C4 at you when you are in a position to back off and turn towards explosion without exposing in the process your side or back to the defender.

• elevation

  A shield does not move much vertically when you look up or down.
  As Blitz 1 of your biggest enemies will be situations where you have to climb the stairs equally you lot exposure your head and shoulders to defenders situated above y'all.
  Try to avoid them at all cost. In case you take to go up the stairs, overcompensate vertically direction you are looking at to minimize the effect.
  Consequently, crouching has a similar effect of caput and shoulders exposure to enemies, thus practice non aim downward while crouching.

So what do we want to do as Blitz?

We want to close the gap between defender and Rush every bit quickly as possible while loosing equally petty health as feasible, with least exposure to flanks or crossfires.

Now, how practice we do that?

Endmost the gap as Rush is all about doing so chop-chop, decisively and making our limbs hard to shot.
Once you lot decide to push button defender, do so deliberately by moving from encompass to embrace.
Leaving cover to alter mind in the process and so hang in the middle of the room or corridor without a programme is a bad thought when playing Blitz.

Avant-garde Blitz players apply switching between stances (standing & crouching), as well every bit swapping leaning angle, to throw defender'southward aim off and make it difficult to hitting weak spots.
Your legs are exposed when running with shield, while shoulders and correct hand are at risk of being shot in a crouch position.
Withal, try not to spam the crouch button rapidly without a pause – defender will proceed shooting our legs, and yous won't achieve annihilation with this technique.

When planting a breaching accuse or bomb defuser, Blitz puts his shield on his back.
Shield blocks then bullets shot in his back, which can be used as additional protection when planting defuser.

Difficulty

MEDIUM

Many Rainbow 6 Siege players consider Blitz piece of cake and broken. I disagree. Blitz requires advanced skills to be effective.

Shield operators are generally not simple to employ correctly. They crave mindset alter from the default arroyo to the round.

Rainbow 6 Siege Blitz shines in situations where he cannot be flanked and where the defender can be isolated. Multiple defenders and angles are no-become for Blitz equally he is easy prey for coordinated defenders.

To apply the Blitz to his fullest potential, attackers need to cooperate to team up with him, which can be achieved primarily in pre-made squads.

Loadout suggestion

Loadout choices are an individual aspect, and rarely there is a "get-to" loadout in R6 Siege.
Sight choices are purely personal and depend on the histrion's playstyle, map, even objective & specific role.
Please treat the beneath proffer as what it is – our preferences.
We encourage you to experiment to find your setup.

Call up, just because something works for someone else, does not hateful it has to and will work for you!

Suggested loadout:

Principal weapon	Barrel	Grip	Telescopic
G52-Tactical Shield	N/A	N/A	N/A

Secondary weapon	Butt	Grip	Scope
P12	Muzzle brake	N/A	N/A

Why such loadout?

At that place is not much variation when it comes to the Rush loadout.
He has access to simply i weapon – P12.
From zipper options, nosotros strongly recommend using a Muzzle brake butt option.
A suppressor is useless every bit shield operator as you lot volition brand loud, distinctive sound notifying everyone and their female parent that Blitz is coming.
Muzzle brake will lower your recoil on a pistol, which is an excellent do good considering P12 is the only firearm at your disposal.
Also, it would be best if you lot always put a light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation on when playing a shield operator.

Rainbow Six Siege Rush has admission to both breaching charges and smoke grenades. We strongly recommend selecting a fume grenade.
Smokes take great potential to nullify 1 of your most significant weaknesses – flanks and crossfires.
To use smoke grenades efficiently, throw them closer to the defender or angle you want to obscure, do non smoke yourself.
The reasoning backside is that defender can shoot you lot relatively like shooting fish in a barrel when suspecting y'all are in smoke. On the other paw, information technology'south hard for them to shoot accurately when they are covered in smoke as orientation is severely impaired.
