In Rainbow Six Siege, victory hinges on your operator selection, and this article presents the top five attacking operators to secure your dominance in Ubisoft's fiercely competitive shooter.

A game like Rainbow Six Siege has been perfectly crafted to give the players full control over who takes home the victory and all of it lies in the player's operator pick.

This article contains the top five attacking operators you can pick to dominate everyone who stands in the way of your ranked grind in the final operation of Year 8 in Ubisoft's most competitive shooter.

1. Ace

Ace is currently the best breacher due to his ability to safely open up reinforced walls without a lot of hassle. While Thermite does make a bigger hole in the wall in less time, he is easily countered by Bandit, while Ace does not face this issue. Additionally, Ace is equipped with the best rifle in the meta and a claymore, making him an operator with very high frag potential and an overall good flank watch.

2. Osa

Osa's shield has pushed Montagne out of his spot in the meta and given it to her. Anything bulletproof that gives any form of intel is very valuable in R6S and the additional ability to move the shield whenever Osa wishes to has made her one of the most important operators in the game.

3. Gridlock

Gridlock is an operator with a lot of crowd control power as well as post-plant area denial but due to her previously weak loadout, she is not picked as often as she should be. Her gadget that deals damage when in contact with an enemy pairs really well with Gridlock's smokes and a friendly Glaz who can get an easy pick-off through the smoke.

4. Hibana

Once Hibana got the ability to change her X-KAIROS - where she can switch between 2, 4, and 6 pellets, she became the best hatch, shield, and Castle barricade destroyer in the game. While she was originally released as a breacher, her shift to utility deniers has made her so much more powerful and an ideal pick for most sites that have hatches over them.

5. Dokkaebi

Dokkaebi has one of the worst loadouts in the game, with no ARs or pistols. Her primaries are the iconic BOSS-G that players mainly use to mess around and get nasty kills and a DMR that will underperform in most gun fights. Taking all of that into consideration, her gadget is powerful enough for the players to still pick her and ignore the lack of frag potential.
