10 Things R6 Pros Do That YOU Dont *JYNXZI REACTS*

Storyline / Premise

This video is not about a narrative storyline. It’s a breakdown of “10 things R6 pros do” (compared to typical players) in Rainbow Six Siege, focusing on:

• Positioning
• Timing
• Operator/weapon decisions
• Map-based aggression

Gameplay Highlights & Key Tips (“10 things”)

1. Turn on team-colored claymore laser/outline

   • Set your team color to red and the opponent to blue/orange so the claymore laser/line is:
     • Easier for your team to see
     • Harder for enemies to reliably read/track
   • This helps you place and monitor claymores based on how the laser blends with surfaces.

2. Don’t waste Ying/Lion flashes/scans—use them to take space

   • Ying: Only throw Candela if you’re ready to push/take space during the blind timer.
     • Ying has 4 Candela, meaning 4 push windows
   • Lion: Drone first, then Lion scan so defenders must hold position.
     • This forces defenders into less favorable posture, giving you safer shots and better map control.

3. Roam/hold objectives with time-wasting intent (not just kills)

   • Roaming is primarily to:
     • Waste time
     • Burn drones
     • Prevent attackers from using utility effectively
   • The idea is to deny attackers time/space by “holding the floor” they shouldn’t gain control of.

4. Know when to be aggressive vs. passive (man-count rule + exceptions)

   • General rule of thumb:
     • Down in man count: be more aggressive to isolate 1v1s and even numbers
     • Up in man count: be more passive since attackers must come to you and face limited time
   • Defense (man-count logic):
     • Up on defense: play passive to waste attacker time
     • Down on defense: play aggressive to isolate 1v1s, then revert to passive after re-evening (e.g., 2v5 → 3v3)
   • Attack:
     • Early round (roughly first 30s–1 min): pros often rush aggressively to open lines and secure entry picks
     • Later: slow down using utility + drones + repositioning to improve plant/late-round positioning
     • If down late: aggression increases to stop defenders from controlling the round (avoid getting swarmed into stacked fights)

5. Hold “unorthodox” angles (off-angles) to surprise defenders

   • Instead of common door holds, use less expected setups, including positioning involving repels/angles.
   • Off-angles can generate “free” kills because defenders don’t anticipate you there.

6. Hold “longer angles” instead of close-range gunfights

   • Pros often fight around 10–12 meters, while many players fight 6–8 meters.
   • Longer angles help because they:
     • Are harder to spot
     • Make you appear smaller on screen
     • Can reduce how hittable you are at distance (especially with low graphics settings)

7. Use drones correctly—especially “support droning” and cut-off drones

   • Don’t just drone yourself. Pros emphasize:
     • Support droning: get droned in by teammates so you can act on reliable intel rather than risky peeks
     • Cut-off drones in prep: place drones so that after prep ends, you can assume areas/rooms are clear
       • These drones can also act like temporary “flank cams” during the round

8. Stick to a small operator pool (high win-rate consistency)

   • Instead of constantly switching, pros often repeatedly play a few operators that:
     • Fit their style
     • Perform well for them/team
   • Examples mentioned: Warden, Lion, Amaru, Finka, Solis, etc. (noted as “popular meta” picks)
   • The idea: pick operators you’re consistently strong with, then build flexible comps as needed.

9. Use DMRs effectively by holding tight, long angles

   • DMRs are described as undervalued but useful in pro play.
   • Proper use:
     • Hold tight angles
     • Don’t swing wide
     • Let DMR damage + longer engagement distance do the work
   • Even though DMRs have slower rate of fire, pros compensate by holding carefully and forcing enemies into their lines.

10. Adapt playstyle to the weapon (and map aggression accordingly)

    • Weapon-based play:
      • Low magazine weapons (example behavior: 16-bullet M750-like) often require:
        • Aggression → quick reset
        • Safer positioning due to frequent reloads
      • Higher ammo/other archetypes (example: Ying) allow more continuous aggression and pressure
    • Map-based play:
      • Small maps (e.g., Border): defenders must be more aggressive since attackers gain control faster; losing key rooms can be catastrophic
      • Large maps (e.g., Nighthaven Labs): defenders can be more passive since attackers must clear more territory and spend more time reaching objectives
        • This enables roaming, drone denial, and rotations between rooms

Strategies / “How To” Checklist (Condensed)

Before / At Round Start

• Use prep droning smartly, especially cut-off drones to confirm which rooms are empty
• On attack: consider quick early aggression, then slow down for utility/plant setup

During Fights

• Fight at longer angles when possible
• Use unorthodox/off angles to surprise defender setups
• Apply the man-count aggression rule (with timing/objective exceptions)

Operator / Weapon Discipline

• Prefer an operator pool that matches your strengths
• With DMRs, play around tight, long-angle holds
• Adjust aggression and positioning based on the weapon’s ammo/reload and engagement style

Map Awareness

• On small maps: increase aggression to seize/hold control
• On large maps: play around time-wasting, rotations, and passive denial
