My boy Smoke in his elite skin

Reference pose from posemaniacs.com

I present: The Salty Goth Mom Rainbow Six Siege Tier List.

Note, this isn’t a measure how fun the character is in particular nor my preference for picking them. For example, I play Smoke A LOT more frequently as opposed to Thatcher and Sledge, as frankly I prefer him over the two, but in my experiences and opinions developed over time, I realize those two are extremely potent as well. Which is why he’s comfortably at the top of A-Tier because he is Literally S-Class.

Another example is Ash. I hate Ash with a burning passion and this fighting operator makes me want to YEET my controller out the nearest window. BUT, despite the fact her hit box is the size of a dried cranberry seed, she’s a consistent, fast-paced, run-n-gun character. With a versatile gadget and good weapons.

Zofia, Ela, and Dokka/Grace Nam are my absolute favorite characters in this game. From both lore and gameplay perspectives. In retrospect, they’re also the only characters I have their respective Elite Uniforms for. Which further expresses my love for them.

Azami, ASS-Zami. Gets her own special tier above S simply because of how absolutely unhinged her gadget is and the potential of utility she offers is unreal. Real good operator, 10/10.

And to round this off… Screw Blackbeard. Screw this operator. Screw his rifle shield. Fuck his stupid, abysmal weapons choices. Screw everything pertaining to this character and I hope they remove him from the game entirely.

Thank you for your time, you’re free to disagree with me, but this is both in good fun, not seriously nor focusing on competitive play in the slightest, just casually playing the game for fun in quick play. And improving.,

with all the new nighthaven-being-criminals tomfuckery, i'm wondering how that's gonna work with the rainbow defectors (smoke, ela, etc)... and also the fact that a future season's op is allegedly (as in, got this from an unsourced "leak" screenshot) a nighthaven dude :thonk:

One way the arc could develop is with Rainbow trying to find proof of NH's criminal ties and activities, to convince the defectors (and hopefully some NH ops, like Aruni) to act as sources of inside information in their mission to take down NH. The new op (for season 3, I mean, in season 2 we have Sens) seems it will be a NH dude, yes. Either we'll get some insight on what has been NH doing, or he's a mole working in fact for Rainbow.

As for the possibility of NH just being incriminated and not actually supplying/working with criminals... I think it would render all this defection arc pointless? Cause then okay, let's assume it's all a misunderstanding and NH are being duped and there's a real Big Bad to be revealed trying to make Rainbow fight NH for some reason... then what's the fucking point of having operators divided into 2 different organizations?? Cause NH isn't like the squads from Rainbow, they don't answer to Six, don't follow anyone's rules but Kali's whims and are a separate entity from Rainbow... is the game then gonna be called Rainbow and Nightahve Six Siege? Ridiculous. Will NH come back into Rainbow and be just another squad? Then this whole splitting off and poaching operators arc is unnecessarily dramatic and a waste of time 🤷

However, the writers are kinda in an awkward position, I think, cause the NH ops will have to remain in the game (you can't remove paid content, like elites and skins), so they can't kill them off, can't make them real bad guys cause they're still in the fucking game alongside Rainbow ops. That's why I think they're gonna drag on this tension for a loooong time before revealing anything, same as they did with the Kali vs. Ash thing during the Invitational arc.

So my expectatives are very low, I'm just here for the ride and to pick whatever canon bits I like to incorpore into my own stories and HCs. And if possible, to get a glimpse of Kapkan and/or Glaz in one of the animations. Doesn't even have to be the CGI, and they can be on the background of a wide shot, I don't care! Just a glimpse, please, Ubi!

OC SPOTLIGHT

Vittoria "Ragno" De Angelo (Rainbow Six Siege)

"Never accept things for what they appear to be. Always take a closer look."

Background

The illegitimate child to the head of a prestrigious and well known family among Italy's societal elite, Vittoria De Angelo-Relish grew up in a world embossed by dark secrets and glamourised lies. Spending her first years growing up in Italy, she quickly learned that appearances are only half of the truth. She soon emigrated to her mothers home country, England, before immigrating to Germany a couple years later. Vittoria displayed a talent to hide her true self behind a veil of politeness and cheer from a rather young age, combined with an aptitude of noticing things others failed to. Perhaps that is where her eye for details developed, which was then further honed in the military - quickly discovering and fostering a gift in terms of handling firearms. Standing out from her peers, De Angelo-Relish was transferred to the 13th armoured infantry battalion of the Royal Armoured Corps, where she delivered a steady and excellent performance as an outstanding marksman. Word of her traversed ranks until she was officially invited to the "Selection", the most callenging selection process of the British Armed Forces up to date. After sucessfully passing every test, De Angelo-Relish was then transferred to the Special Reconnaissance Regiment. A task force subordinate to the SAS, for members of it can only be male, yet it was clear that De Angelo-Relish was on equal ground with her male superiors. Under the care of Captain A., De Angelo-Relish broke the sharpshooting world record for a confirmed kill at highest possible distance (3600km). Recruitment as the first female SAS operator to Rainbow followed soon after. She is fluent in British English, Italian, German, French, European Spanish and Latin.

Psychological report

Contrary to chats with other operators, specialist Vittoria "Ragno" de Angelo-Relish proved to be as inviting as one would expect from a first glance at her; listening patiently to any questions, answering them to the best of her abilities, all throughout keeping that friendly, reassuring smile. It is remarkable how her presence alone had me relax myself. In fact, I was quite surprised when she looked at me and told me that a smile suits me much better than 'my usual frown', both of which I hadn't taken note of. It was only when I dipped into more personal topics - mainly those surrounding family and friends - that it seemed like I was probing a wall. She answered in full and plenty, yet it felt like mere crumbles of the cement I was drilling into. Looking at the reports of her background and past, I can see where it comes from, that talent of hiding oneself behind a mask and yet making the other feel like they know a lot about her. High adaptability that came at an even higher price. It was best I lay such topics aside for now and think of a more careful and slow approach for our next talk, if I ever wish to get through to them. (Perhaps that would help tackle the problem of nightmare induced insomnia as well - though exploring PTSD is always a rocky road.)

Alas, it is no surprise De Angelo-Relish has no problems getting along with her fellow operators. Someone as open and approachable as her has no difficulties adapting to the field as well as the life outside of it, though there seems to be a particular interest in one of her male coworkers, which seems to be reciprocated. [...] I should try to find out more, though as of now both prefer to remain silent about the topic. His cold eyes are a stark contrast to her warm ones.

Speaking of relationships, I took note of a close friendship between James "Smoke" Porter and De Angelo-Relish. Upon asking I found out that their friendship dates back to shared university days. De Angelo-Relish has also been familiar with the other three SAS operatives before joining Rainbow, a connection formed during her time assissting them in recon as a reconnaissance expert. It is therefore no wonder that the unit as a whole functions flawlessly - though I have to say that I took note of an increase in moral among the team following her admission. [...]

During my sessions with De Angelo-Relish I presently stumbled upon passions of hers, which are quite obvious when one knows her, but surprising all the same: Poisons / venoms and spiders. It's an almost child like fascination. As soon as I tapped into it she lit up and immediately begun elaborating on her own, so much in fact that I couldn't even get out my actual question, or the next one. With glee did she speak of a self inflicted mithriditism concerning her self developed poison (aka the process of slowly building up an immunity towards a certain poison by inducing small portions of it into ones own body over longer periods of time) as well as the creation of her gadget, the poison mine. A topic I shall leave to our evaluation experts.

There was one thing that stood out to me during our talks: Emotional strength, or as she calls it, determination. From what I know, De Angelo-Relish has had anything but a pleasant upbringing and a pitiable past. To bring up such strength from within to withstand even the darkest of times is a virtue she values greatly, both in herself and others. I hope to find out more in future sessions so I may incorporate her ability to bring out the best in others more. It could certainly do some well.

Notes

Device: Poison Mine

Operator: Specialist Vittoria "Ragno" de Angelo-Relish

Evaluation Lead: Specialist Maxim "Kapkan" Basuda with Specialist James "Smoke" Porter

Upon being asked to take a closer look at the trap, it soon became rather clear that it's not as simple as it seems at first glance. Dissecting an inactive device into three main components was easy, the real work began when I took a look at the machinery inside the mines body. A small chassis of bulletproof glass contains the onminously glowing gas, set unto a main component of wires upon wires, to which six symmetrical "legs" have been attached. The resemblance to a spider is hard to miss. (Even someone as oblivious as Shuhrat could figure that out.) Personally I prefer it simpler, which is the critical lens I've chosen to evaluate through - unnecessary technical gimmicks are, if anything, a distraction.

(Comment: Same. -James)

(Comment: Please only comment important things Porter, we've been over this. - Elena)

Its ability to stick to any surface makes for a nasty surprise, although a faint glow easily gives its position away. Small caliber bullets cannot penetrate the glass nor destroy it, grenades of any kind and explosions can, however, this device will still fullfill its intended purpose, which is to inform of hostiles approaching. A win win in most cases, wether it'll be destroyed or not.

I'm no expert on chemicals or gasses, the evaluation of which I'll leave to Porter, the technology seems to leave little room to improve though. I'd recommend specialist Elena "Mira" Alvarez may take a look into increasing its durability, by making use of thicker bulletproof glass, for example.

(Comment: I've seen that gas in action, and let me tell ya, it's one hell of a poison. Don't ever wanna be one of the poor saps gettin' caught up in it. It's potent, quick to sink into ones very cells, and does its job without leaving room to breathe. Real scary thing. -James)

(Comment: That was a horrible pun. -Elena)

The 3 images from the gif I created

Hello! I find your icons really pretty, I loved the Spetsnaz flower crown ones. I was wondering if you could do a elite skin Smoke flower crown, please?

[requested] 𝔀𝓱𝓸𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮 Elite Smoke ICONS ❤︎

omg you’re so kind <3 i loved making these! smoke’s elite is actually one of the best, he’s so adorable :D

[<3 or reblog if you save]

W X J K for doc pls I love him

j : jack off ;

he’ll call you to ask for permission if he’s away from you, and bet that he does not give a shit if his teammates hear him whining for begging for you to say yes to his orgasm. but if it’s the other way, he has no issues letting his teammates know that he’s the one in charge of the night. he tends to play more with the tip, teasing along with deep and long strokes along with shaft.

k : kink ;

role play (pet play), master and pet (goes both ways) and a little of humiliation (mainly him)

Gustave likes having the power between the both of you being swapped, on very rare occasions where he’s the dominant one, he’s a totally different person and his muscular body is definitely something he’ll make you worship every time.

x : x-ray ;

a little on the shorter side but makes up for it with the thickness, expect some prominent veins.

Heres some R6 drawings that I done! :D

My favourite op is by far Smoke!

Tachanka is my buds main op :3

smoke elite ❤

did anyone see the easter egg in his animated concept art? >>

To Smoke: If you’re comfortable, would you tell me about that time you saved a kid from a burning building?

“I’m not shy about it. Sure, I’ll tell ya.”

“There had been reports of a chemical compound in a building nearby, and so Rainbow sent me in to investigate with Specialist Flament. He used his EE-ONE-D to detect who was in the building, which at the moment there hadn’t been any on sensors. We assumed the building was evacuated. So, I went in with my protective mask and my street clothes, since I didn’t have time to change into my BDUs.”

“The compound was a flammable concoction of fine powders. I can’t remember the exact elements involved, but it was nasty, that’s for damn sure. I reported my findings to Olivier, and I was about to head out when I heard noises above me. Whoever littered the place with that shit had tossed a match to set it ablaze. The entire place was crumbling from the top down.”

“Olivier told me to evacuate, and I started to run back to the main entrance, but I heard something back from where I was. I ran back, and lo and behold there was a little kid curled up under a table and trying to hide from falling debris in the room. I could see embers falling from the ceiling and through the wooden boards. I scooped him up in my arms and tried to find a way out. The path to the front door was blocked, so I used the only thing left near us. An open window.”

“I handed the kid over to his mum and I reported it all to Olivier, who relayed it to Six. We gave brief statements to the police and went back to base.”

Jäger is a bit tired, no?

Well, now I know by whom Ubisoft was inspired, whent they were creating this elite skin. Smoke is a 36 years old man, why are you making a teenager from him? In my opinion, this skin is a wasted potential :/

Smoke elite ... 👌
