In a game like Rainbow Six Siege, every piece of utility matters. Bringing your S-tier operator onto the battlefield is important and we have compiled a list of the best operators you can play in the current meta of Ubisoft's most tactical shooter.
These are the best defending operators of the last season of Year 8 on Rainbow Six Siege, Heavy Mettle.
1. Mira
Ever since her release, Mira has not only singlehandedly changed the meta of Rainbow Six Siege but also introduced a whole new playstyle when it comes to defending crucial walls. Even with her gadget getting nerfed, Mira still dominates the meta.
2. Azami
Azami was added in Year 7 and her introduction was as explosive as that of Mira. Being able to quickly and vigilantly close breached walls has granted her a spot in the top 5.
3. Kapkan
Kapkan is one of the easiest operators to play since the randomness of his gadget placement is exactly what will get him kills or at least a massive health reduction. His ability to set and forget his gadget makes room for him to still help out other teammates if help is needed or just lurk around the map.
4. Rook
With the recent buff that was given to Rook, he has become the fan favourite due to the ease of his gadget, the massive advantage that his gadget gives to his teammates and Rook's overall utility and guns, which keep him in close to the hearts of many players.
5. Smoke
For years, Smoke has been the most dominant area denial defender and even with the introduction of many new operators who have the same purpose, he remains the primary pick for many players.
