Gameplay in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Siege X is built around tense, round-based objective matches where two teams alternate between attacking and defending. The core experience emphasizes careful team coordination, operator-specific gadgets, and environmental destruction: defenders reinforce walls, place traps and cameras to control space, while attackers use drones, breaching tools and vertical play to create openings and complete objectives. Siege X also introduces a permanent Dual Front 6v6 mode alongside the classic 5v5 structure and includes a visual and systems overhaul to sharpen tactical depth (see the official Ubisoft announcement). official Ubisoft announcement
Supporting details: rounds are short and punishing, making information and positioning more valuable than raw aim; players select operators with unique loadouts and must commit for each round. Casual options like Quick Match and Unranked are free to try, while Ranked, Siege Cup and more operators/cosmetics are gated behind paid editions. Typical player tasks include: - Defend: reinforce, set up cameras, anchor the objective, deny vertical access. - Attack: gather intel with drones, breach/soft-break walls, employ explosive and gadget combos, and execute synchronized pushes.
