Thermite and Hibana’s explosives can destroy Black Mirror, but they must be very careful when placing them to avoid a premature death. Twitch’s Shock Drone is a hard counter if you can enter the room unspotted (which is not easy to achieve as her drones are loud and bulky) and destroy Black Mirrors’ gas canisters. Luckily, there are several ways to deal with her: Mira is the most banned defence operator in Rainbow Six Siege because of the vision and position advantage she grants to the team with her gadget Black Mirror. Oryx’s Remah Dash is a hard counter because it knocks Montagne down even if his shield is extended.įinally, blasts such as Ela’s Grzmot Mines and Echo’s ultrasonic burst can disorient Montagne, who may retract the shield and become vulnerable for a few seconds.

Montagne must face the C4 when it explodes, so you may have the chance to shoot him while uncovered. Montagne can be trapped by Frost’s Welcome Mat, and Bandit’s Shock Wires will electrify him.Įxtendable Shield protects him from explosions and even C4 charges, but the explosives can still be thrown over the shield, injuring him from behind. Montagne won’t be able to camp a corner of the bombsite because he will be forced to retreat, pull down his shield, and remove the mine. Similarly, also Lesion’s GU inflicts damage over time. Smoke’s gas grenade is one of the best counters as Montagne must escape to not die. MontagneĬontrary to popular belief, Montagne is not invulnerable when his shield “Le Roc” is extended. Generally, you should exploit his own ability to trap him: if you are tracked, coordinate with your team and act as a bait, so you will be able to catch him off guard and kill him. The only operator able to deal with him is Caveira thanks to her ability Silent Step (it negates 3D pings from Jackal’s tracking). This might be considered a game design flaw, or perhaps we simply need more attack operators with a similar role. Thatcher has a high ban rate because of his EMP Grenade: most defenders’ gadgets run on electronics, and Rainbow Six Siege revolves around setting up defenses and breaking them down.Ĭurrently, the meta is very electronic based, and there are not many great alternatives to Thatcher. They can be used as effective surprise picks in a round or two, but you should not abuse or overestimate them as there are better and more reliable characters in the game. After being killed, they are aware of their presence, so the traps rarely work again during the same match.

Operators with trap gadgets such as Kapkan, Frost, and Ela have a high win delta because their pick rate is low: most players do not expect a sudden Welcome Mat or Entry Denial Device. Note: after all the adjustments, Echo is no longer a big threat.

(the drone will also drop to the ground if it was attached to the ceiling)Īt lower ranks, Echo doesn’t cause many problems as players don’t know how to make a good use of his drones, they place them in poor spots and barely interact with them, and usually they don’t even alert the team about the enemy’s movements. IQ is the most effective option because her unique gadget RED Mk III Spectre can detect any electronic device, so she can locate Echo’s Yokai drones and destroy them with a suppressed pistol.Īlternatively, disable the drone with Thatcher’s EMP grenade, and then destroy it. If you couldn’t ban him, and you are facing a smart Echo player, there are only two viable counters: Echo is a truly troublesome pick because he has two invisible drones at his disposal.
