What is Rainbow Six Siege like?

Attackers storm a building to defuse a bomb or rescue a hostage while defenders fortify it with barricades and traps. Each operator has a unique gadget, and many walls and floors can be breached.

Your squad of up to five queues for Quick Match or Unranked and picks an operator before each round. During the preparation phase the defenders reinforce walls and set traps around the objective, while the attackers drive small drones through the building to find it and spot where the enemies are. Then the attack starts and there are about three minutes to finish the job. If you die early you can still help, watching the cameras or driving your own drone.
