Mute (Defender)

Mute is a medium armor, medium speed operator who was released with the base game of Rainbow Six Siege. Mute’s special gadget is his Signal Disruptor which jams enemy drones and attacker’s remote charge explosives within its range. Dokkaebi’s phone calls are affected by this if you are in the range of the jammer. If a defender is sitting on a jammer, their phone will not vibrate. Mute is great for hindering attackers communication and intel gathering to give the defenders advantage over the attackers.

Sledge (Attacker)

Sledge is an attacking operator that was released with the base game of Rainbow Six Siege. Sledge is a two armor, two speed operator with his ability being a sledgehammer. His sledgehammer, nicknamed “The Caber,” is able to breach through non-reinforced surfaces. Reinforced surfaces are not affected by a hit by the hammer. Sledge is excellent at creating new lines of sight and flanking defenders. Sledge’s hammer can also kill an enemy with one swing, which is impractical but funny considering the rare instance that this may happen.
