Rainbow Six Extraction: Best Loadouts

Rainbow Six Extraction is a first-person PvE game from Ubisoft in which players must work together to complete various objectives in order to halt the tyrannical spread of the Chimera parasite. As you progress through each area, you and your fellow REACT agents must defend against waves of unique enemies, each with different abilities and attacks. You can choose from 20 different operators and a wide range of REACT tech weapons and equipment to help you secure each objective. Nonetheless, here are five operators with the best loadouts for getting the job done.

5. Pulse

Pulse allows you to use his unique gadget, which detects MIAs, VIPs, enemies, and their nests through walls. This is a huge benefit because it allows you to find objectives and enemies much quicker. As a result, Pulse is ideal for players who like to play aggressively; taking point on most entries is recommended for utilizing his gadgets to the highest potential.

Shotguns aren't most people's first choice in Extraction, but they complement this operator's pulse finder and aggressive play style, which is primarily close-quarter-combat. That's because his shotgun packs a punch up close. The M45 is a dependable secondary weapon, and adding a muzzle break boosts damage output. Nonetheless, here's the loadout we recommend running with Pulse:

• Primary: M1014, Holo sight, Laser
• Secondary: M45 MEUSOC, Muzzle Break
• REACT Tech: Stun Grenade, Explosive Harness

4. Sledge

Being able to one-shot most low-level enemies with his Sledge's infamous special gadget, his massive sledgehammer, never get's old. This operator needs, no introduction. Sledge is an offensive force, that will take the fight to enemies, rather than the other way around. That being said, you can't always rely on bashing your way through waves of enemies so you'll need to rely on other weapons as well.

The AR33 is an excellent choice due to its high fire rate, high accuracy, and low recoil. Because enemies can swarm from every direction and hip fire is more common than not, a gun with good recoil control is essential, making the AR33 ideal to set you up with one of the best loadouts in the game. Because your sledgehammer can be swung indefinitely, we recommend only using your guns as a last resort if you're being overrun by enemies. If you want to utilize Sledge with his best loadout, here's what we recommend:

• Primary: AR33, Holo sight, Surpressor, Vertical Grip
• Secondary: P226 MK 25, Muzzle Break
• REACT Tech: Armour plates, Scan Grenade

3. Rook

Rook is an important member of most squads because of his unique ability to drop a crate of body armor for teammates to pick up, providing them with extra health and allowing them to stay in the fight longer. Because of how important Rook is to your team, it's difficult to have one of the best loadouts without him.

One of the best loadouts for Rook is the marksman rifle due to its high damage output and long range which is ideal for most maps. This gun feels more like an assault rifle with these attachments, making it ideal for hip firing and handling. Because your primary weapon has a slow reload time, the P9 is a reliable backup weapon if you are interrupted mid-reload by an enemy. This loadout's REACT Tech can be criticized, but we believe that using a grenade to clear out enemies and an anabolic accelerant to heal lost health is the best option. Regardless, here's the full loadout we recommend with Rook:

• Primary: HK417, Scope 2.0x, Muzzle Break, Vertical Grip
• Secondary: P9, Muzzle Break
• REACT Tech: Frag Grendade, Anabolic Acelerant

2. Tachanka

Tachanka is the living embodiment of spray and pray, thanks to his portable RP-46 Degtyaryov machine gun that can be mounted and shot by any player. Despite his mountable turret being his most stand-out feature, he also comes with one of the best loadouts thanks to his special gadgets. One of them is a claymore, which is ideal for setting up in the turret's blind spots. With this combo, you can sometimes man this Gatling gun for an entire round.

In terms of damage output, the AK-12 is one of the best rifles on the market, with few others coming close. Although there is some recoil, a vertical grip should do the trick. The PMM is a good second option due to its incredible firepower. Then add some body armor to give yourself more health and soak some more damage. Nonetheless, you'll be gunning for a juggernaut build with this setup, which is easily one of the best loadouts in the game. Here's the full picture put together:

• Primary: AK-12, Reflex, Suppressor, Vertical Grip
• Secondary: PMM, Muzzle Break
• REACT Tech: Body Armour, Claymore

1. Vigil

Vigil has the advantage of being one of the fastest in the game. Because you can reposition much faster than others, being chased by swarms of enemies becomes far less terrifying. Vigil's unique equipment will make him invisible to enemies and allow your squad to see through walls. This is useful for sneaking up behind enemies to gain an advantage or scanning the area for a game plan. Needless to say, Vigil is easily one of the best operators in the game, who also bolsters a stellar loadout.

Both his primary and secondary excel in close to medium range, which complements his cloaking device perfectly. Because the K1A has high damage and low recoil, headshots kill enemies much faster. The SMG-12 has a high rate of fire and a large magazine, making it a reliable secondary weapon. All in all, you have easily the best operator in the game, with one of the best loadouts in the game.

• Primary: K1A, Holo Sight, Compensator, Vertical Grip
• Secondary: SMG-12, Reflex Sight, Vertical Grip
• REACT Equipment: Scan Grenade, Anabolic Accelerant
