Hello and welcome to his FAQ for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. It’s an older game,
but if you ask me, it was a pioneer towards games like Counterstrike. The
ultra-realistic one shot kills environment, which is much, much more realistic
than most games (CS included) will help you develop skills quicker. If you have
anything you would like to contribute to this guide, please feel free to email
the author at the address given above. Please note, I will not be answering any
walkthrough questions, since this is just a FAQ, not a full walkthrough.

Gun Guide
===========
R6 has a great selection of pistols and primary firearms, I did this guide to
help choose the best gun for the mission.
PISTOLS
Heckler & Koch MK23
This gun is the handgun of choice for the U.S special forces. Its
A .45 Caliber and is extremely reliable.It has average stopping power
And is quite accurate.
Heckler & Koch M23 - SD
This weapon has a flash silencer, specially designed for Rainbow. It
Flash silencer means it eliminate flash visibility. Not quite as accurate but a
whole lot quieter than the MK23.
Heckler & Koch USP
This .40 caliber is lighter than the MK23. It can really
Pack a punch for its size.
Heckler & Koch USP - SD
This silenced .40 caliber is not the silencer of choice for Rainbow.
I would stick with the MK23 - SD.
Beretta 92FS
This little 9mm is deadly at close range, and holds a bigger amount of
ammunition.
Beretta 92FS 9mm - SD
This silenced 9mm is used mainly for recon, though it has a improved flash
visibility.
PRIMARY WEAPONS
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
This is the Rainbow standard gun, it is reliable and and accurate.
It is a 9mm with 3 different speed settings.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD5
This 9mm is silenced so well, you have a better chance of hearing the trigger
get pulled
Heckler & Koch MP5K - PDW
This 9mm sub machine gun is light, and has a folding stock.
CAR - 15
This small assault rifle is powerful despite its appearance. It is used by U.S
and Israeli special forces.
Colt M - 16A2
This is the long range bad boy of the Primary weapons. It really packs a
punch.It easily pierces level ll. armor.
Benelli M1
This 12 gage shotgun is extremely powerful at close range and is very fast for
a shotgun.

Outfit Guide
===============
This is just a quick briefing about all the different kinds of gear that you
can wear during your mission. First, when choosing you gear, think about how
strong of armor you need, how much you will have to run around, and your
surroundings. If you keep these in mind picking your gear is easy.

under a lot of fire.

===================
Equipment Guide
===================
When you choose your equipment don't just assign the same thing to everyone,
plan out your teams and distribute 1 thing to each team so you don't have to
waste items.
Flashbang
***********
These are mainly used to breach and clear rooms. They have a stunning flash
which neutralizes tangos ling enough to kill them. Thi is really the only safe
way to enter a room with hostages in it. Caution, you can stun yourself so
watch
out.
Frag Grenade
**************
This small grenade is just your average grenade like you see on tv. It has a
small blast but can do some damage. Don't stand to close or you will destroy
yourself. If your sure that there are no tangos in a room, toss in a grenade
instead of a flashbang, have some fun.
Breaching Charge
******************
This is a nifty little device used to open and breach a room at the same time.
You stick one on a door, locked or not. Then click aagin to detonate it. It
blows off the door and flashes a built in flash bang to stun its inhabitants.
The bad thing is you can only carry one.
Heartbeat Sensor
******************
This is basically used to locate enemy's and hostages. It can tell the
difference between the two. This is very nice to have in battle, just make sure
you have a gun ready, don't get caught trying to shoot an un loaded gun because
when it ran out you started playing with the sensor.
Demolitions Kit
*****************
Don't leave home without on:) Really all this kit does is speed up the placing
and disarming of explosives. You shouldn't really need one unless you are
really
slow.
Electronics Kit
*****************
Basically, it does the same thing the demo one does but for the electrical bugs
and security camera rewriting and things of that sort.
But if you have a good Electrical expert you only need it a couple times.
Lockpick Kit
**************
If you don't have a shotgun or breaching charge you have to pick the lock. This
kit speeds that process up considerably. Some doors are not pickable without
it.
================
Specialty Guide
================
each operative has his or her own trademark specialty. They excel in this
category above all others except for a couple of small exceptions.
This is a definitive list of all the operative specialties
Recon - This is the specialty of sneaking into an area and gathering
information, or the location of something without being detected. Rec-
on experts must be fast and quite, most of them are good with firearms, if
there
good with electronics, it makes it even better.
Assault - Assault specialists are basically the G.I. Joes of the mission. They
are extremely good with firearms, and if they're stealthy
They make good snipers. Use them to take out terrorists and to protect precious
cargo.
Command - Only Chavez has this expertise, that is why he has the best
leadership
in the game. Command experts are extremely good leaders and will follow your
plan to the line.
Demolition - Probably the most fun job to have, blowing stuff up! Demo experts
are trained for speed in defusing bombs and are usually decent with grenades.
They are also usually better at using door chares too.
Electronics - This is basically being a whiz with electronical things. They go
in and do things with computers and security stuff. They are usually decent
with
guns, but some are terrible in all of the other attributes.
