Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

A round in Rainbow Six Extraction does not take 30 minutes and that is exactly what is so good about it

von Marko Jevtic

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

If you have any tips yourself, feel free to leave us a comment.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

If you have any tips yourself, feel free to leave us a comment.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

If you have any tips yourself, feel free to leave us a comment.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

If you have any tips yourself, feel free to leave us a comment.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

If you have any tips yourself, feel free to leave us a comment.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

If you have any tips yourself, feel free to leave us a comment.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

If you have any tips yourself, feel free to leave us a comment.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

If you have any tips yourself, feel free to leave us a comment.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

However, if you do go completely down, your operator packs themselves into a kind of insulating foam. The so-called “REACT foam” consciously protects unconscious operators from infection and other dangers.

A player wrapped in foam is downgraded to a spectator.

If you leave the teammate behind, the respective player must rescue the operator in the next mission for them to be available to play again.

5. Operators get stronger over time

Each selectable character has its own operator level. The more you play an operator, the more advantages you gain.

You unlock not only weapons. With increasing level, there are also passive bonuses such as more health, stronger abilities, and higher movement speed.

Therefore, choose a difficulty level that matches your operator level. Because the difficulty settings not only demand smarter tactics from you – Extraction also assumes that your operators are better at higher difficulties.

6. Melee gives you time

If you get up close with enemies on a mission, things can get tight quickly. Health is extremely valuable, and every hit you take brings you closer to death. Healing is not that easy.

To give yourself a bit of time in the heat of melee combat, you should give enemies with an interest in close contact a quick slap.

If you don’t hit the explosive critters directly on their “bomb”, most enemies can be stunned with a hit and take a step back.

This gives you the necessary moment to quickly reload, take off running, or get help from your teammates.

7. Healing is only temporary

As already mentioned, health is extremely valuable in Extraction. This is due to 2 points:

• Operators do not completely heal after a match
• During the match, health regeneration is difficult

If you heal a teammate with Doc or pick up a medkit, you only get “temporary health”. You will see a blue area in the health bar – the real health is white.

The “blue” health then runs down slowly. This takes a while but can become important in longer rounds. Moreover, nothing remains of the blue health after the match.

So if you find medkits – enjoy the bonus even with “full” health. You can go over 100. If you’re running with Doc and find ability charges, fire the 3 shots into your teammates and then collect the charges.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

The new co-op shooter Rainbow Six: Extraction sends you into areas infested with parasites full of dangers and nasty monsters. MeinMMO has a few tips for beginners that the pesky enemies probably won’t like.

Rainbow Six: Extraction is a co-op shooter with smaller missions that send you into a short but intense adventure. With up to two friends, you are to gather information about an alien parasite that wants to spread on Earth.

“Not with us,” says the Rainbow team and begins to investigate the parasite for weaknesses that should help with eradication.

To give you a good chance of bringing your operator back home safe right from the start, we have the right beginner tips for you.

A quick overview of the game can be found here in the video:

1. Sneak until the bang

When you start a mission or a new area, the nasty enemies are initially quite calm. As long as you don’t get too close to the critters, it stays that way.

In Extraction, it’s advisable to rely heavily on sneaking. In some missions, it’s even necessary to get through.

Use headshots on enemies to take them out instantly. Avoid the exploder enemies with their bombs on their backs – if they blow up, it often alerts other enemies. Also, pay attention to the indicators around your crosshair – they alert you to sounds or enemies that are on the way.

If an enemy does spot you, you usually have a small window of time before the critter screams or somehow alerts its parasite buddies. With a “takedown” (melee attack from behind – hold the button), you can still take down the chewed-up enemies.

Stick close together, communicate, and keep an eye on where the rest of the team is. If a parasite alarm goes off, you will also be ready for the fight together.

2. Nests are the biggest enemies

Everywhere in the areas you will find enemy nests. The nests are alerted similarly to enemies and then start their slimy work – they “spawn” enemies.

An alerted nest does not stop releasing enemy spawn at you. If you do not destroy the breeding ground, the nests will be unceasing enemy suppliers.

So make sure you take out all nests – whether you are still in sneaky phase or ready for the big fight has broken out.

The timely and systematic destruction of this supply line is essential to keep the enemy hordes in check.

Important tips for nests:

• The parts can cling anywhere – check also high ceilings
• With a “takedown” melee you get more experience, and the disgusting parasite slime around the nest disappears
• In most missions, nests do not respawn after destruction

If you have to hold an area in a mission like “series scan” or “sabotage”, then search the entire area for nests beforehand and eliminate the breeding stations. This way, the number of troublemakers can be noticeably reduced right away.

3. Doc is the operator to endure

In Extraction, there are operators with different abilities and advantages. Some help with reconnaissance, others aid in defending against enemies. One even has a big hammer to clear destructible walls out of the way.

Check out all the operators carefully and choose 3 or 4 that you can get along with. If an operator goes down in a match and is not evacuated by you, then that character will not be available to you in the next round.

This operator system goes even further: if you take health damage, the damage remains even after the round. Depending on your accumulated experience points, you then regain health.

Especially at the beginning, there should always be a healer. “Doc” is undoubtedly the best choice here. His ability “health grenades” lets you shoot healing projectiles. This way, you either heal or revive a teammate who has gone down.

Doc has a revival pistol that you can also use for yourself. You have a total of 3 charges, and as long as you have health grenades in your pocket, you also stay in the game. In the mission areas, you’ll also find new charges for the abilities.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The second healer at the start is the Russian “Finka”. She can also revive teammates from a distance.

4. You can only go down once

If you lose all your health, you go down. Team members can then rescue you – Doc and Finka don’t even have to be nearby.

However, there are only limited opportunities to help your lazy teammate back on their feet. In fact, you can only go down once.

With body armor, you can also go down more often. The armor is consumed first before you are counted out. Body armor is available as a “REACT device” or as an ability. The operator “Rook” distributes a charge of protective clothing to the entire team.

Later you will also unlock the “anabolic accelerator” as a REACT device. This way, you can slowly increase your “real” health to 50. However, you won’t be able to raise that value anymore during a match.

8. Remove the annoying parasite soup and alien mines

The strange alien parasite not only throws different types of enemies at you. The mushroom-like intruder has a few more nasty tricks up its sleeve.

There are flash mines everywhere, and sneaky flash spores are just waiting to cling to you.

Flash mines explode as soon as you get too close. The spores cling to you and explode only after a certain time. Make sure that both do not occur too often.

Because the flash effects are intense. For several seconds, you are almost incapacitated and can hardly defend yourself if a foe has it in for you.

With a bullet, the small alien gadgets are wiped out. If a teammate collects flash spores, they can also shoot them off their body. However, a friendly melee attack helps too.

Also, the ubiquitous slime that slows you down when running over it can be removed somewhat with a melee attack or shot. Very helpful if you already know that an escape is pending – in other words, almost anytime.

9. Aim assist with controller kicks in hard

In this tip, mouse players can take a break – the aim assist for controllers is extremely strong.

When you aim near an enemy, the crosshair jumps to the enemy – without regard for consequences. Especially at the beginning, this can feel quite strange, but it’s also helpful.

If you know “The Division 2” or the zombie mode of Call of Duty as a controller player, you might already recognize the peculiar aiming sensation. For everyone else: No, you haven’t forgotten how to aim – the assist is just very invasive.

Either turn off the aim assist right from the start (options – controls – aim assist) or let the function work for you.

If you use the assist, do not correct your crosshair immediately after aiming; take a fraction of a second to realize where the assist is aiming. Often you don’t need to correct it anymore – the headshot hits.

But do not work against the aim assist; instead, deactivate it immediately if it annoys you. Otherwise, you will lose the fight, along with your current operator.

10. Skip annoying or deadly missions

At the start of a mission, you receive 3 different tasks to accomplish. Over time, favorites emerge – and possibly also tasks you dislike.

If you don’t want to do a mission, you can directly head to the exit and proceed to the next section. Generally, this does not bring any disadvantages.

This also applies if you have taken too much damage in the first section and are not sure if you can handle the next mission.

Then rather head for evacuation and end the whole mission. This way, you definitely won’t lose an operator and gain more experience points for the completion.

Your operators will thank you for not having to spend hours in that disgusting REACT foam again, surrounded by alien parasites.

The co-op shooter in the Rainbow Six universe demands your skills and constantly challenges you when you are on higher difficulty levels.

If you keep our tips in mind, you should have no problems during the first hours. Stick together, communicate a lot, and protect each other from the nasty fungus.

In the endgame, the Maelstrom mode awaits you, which significantly increases the difficulty: Whoever plays Rainbow Six: Extraction in the endgame must be an absolute masochist
