Defence Site Setup WHY, HOW & WHEN - Rainbow 6 Siege Defence Guide 2025

[@Malaka_013]

Very good video as always mate, however i feel lioe we do need to clarify some things, especially for lower ranked or newer players. (Only make headholes if you are actually using them, and keep in my mind most attackers are going to have an ACOG, while many defends wont, putting you on the defense at a big disadvantage. Make rotates which are likely to be taken by the attack vaultable, to force a soundque, but rotates which will most likely stay in the defenses grasp walkable. And feetholes work best when you are further from them than the attack. Thank you and have a good day

just started with r6 and this is one of the best channels to learn from as a beginner

Havent played siege in a while but i stay subscribed to alyttleton cause his energy and personality is amazing.

[@unsungantihero2927]

im quite new to siege and your solo q vids help me because you mention educational stuff in it here and there

[@Gettcrunk619]

The goat of siege content has struck again

[@adamlawrence9697]

Great video, always so well explained - a niche request but due to the Battle Pass cosmetics I've been playing as Castle more, and would love some site setup guides on his best sites. I've watched loads of your solo queue vids where you've occasionally explained a setup (such as defending 2F from above on Kafe) but would love a dedicated video! Thank you!

[@DarkNomad347]

Another great video man! The moment you mentioned Azami on rafter, I was sold on learning to play Azami there. Any guides solid azami setups on any map would be awesome tbh.

super helpful video. needed this ngl

[@adamlow7427]

W site setup vid sometimes people just need a little more info to understand what tiny things make a difference

[@thomash.5432]

Thanks for this video, I've been trying to explain this to a friend for a long time now 😅

first question i have is why do we have full walkable rotate at 90 from construction entrance. if the enemy gain control by winning a gun fight like you say is perfectly normal, and gets into elbow, the best thing you can do to make it more awkward for them is to make it vaultable. it gives you sound cues of exactly where they are, you can put a frost mat on it (and you wouldnt beleive how many people will jump in it even at higher elo,) or if they have to shoot it out during the vault you can swing them as they shoot the mat. even with no mat, having to do the vault animation changes aim height and makes them do the vault animation makes it harder for them. full walkable makes it easy to enter site silently. and the downside is nearly zero, having to vault as a defender isnt a problem. or the headholes on tower stairs. why wouldnt you make that feet holes, or waist height holes, so you can see them and shoot thier lower half of thier body as they come down stairs, AND at the same time allow you to hold the head holes at ebox. the hardest part i find about making so many headholes, is that the attackers near universally have 2.5 magnification sights and defenders for the most part have 1.0x. putting huge long lines of site across everywhere absolutely gives the attackers favourable fights everywhere. if your in a 5 stack or are pro sure, do this. but in ranked with randoms, you cant watch every angle, it will get defenders killed way more often than it will get attackers killed. open to hear explanations as to why its better though!

[@darraghwalsh7116]

The head holes for tower stairs are up high so you can see them when they are at the top of the stairs. If you have it lower the attackers can use them whenever they take pillar. Vaulting is slower than running through a rotate doesn’t matter much but if you die once you’d never do it again

You know I've quit playing Siege for a few years now, but I keep coming back to these videos just in the seemingly less and less off chance that Ubisoft gets their collective heads and thumbs out of their asses, so I can keep a good idea of how to set up sites.

[@Chovieisin08]

up the siege up the potters

[@johnswenson2765]

This is the type of content that you should be required to play through and learn on siege before going into ranked. You should absolutely be pushing ubisoft to at least think about putting these types of tips, tricks, and hints into the learning mode where everyone is required to learn and play through them before they go into ranked. It may not make a massive difference today, but it will make a large difference in six months

[@FIREFOX274]

These are things players themselves learned and came up with over time mate, for YEARS.. I don't think Ubisoft ever had the intention of people playing like this.. or even cared cuz money aha They could add it in now for clout but ultimately you can play however you like. People are still coming up with new and creative setups to this day. Especially with new Ops dropping, there's always a new way to attack/defend.

[@loganmcclintock7228]

yo great video m8! Keep it up!

[@mosulmedic7048]

This is good, but assumes the enemies will funnel the same location each time. Which is the beauty in R6. If this is " pro strat" I know to pick different approaches. And then late game, you have a lot of openings to get picked off from

[@Zyred]

helped a lot

Awesome video
