A Guide to the Ash R6 Operator in Rainbow Six Mobile

Ash is one of the Rainbow Six Siege operators who is also included in the mobile R6 game. The Ash R6 operator in Rainbow Six Mobile remains one of the most potent attacking operators in the mobile iteration of the game. Ash R6 is a soft breacher who can blow through non-reinforced, wooden walls with ease. She is the quintessential fragger who can shatter defensive setups by blowing holes through them.

Primary Weapon

The R4-C Assault Rifle is the primary weapon for the Ash R6 operator in Rainbow Six Mobile. It is a gun with a fast fire rate but high recoil. I recommend attaching tactical grips or compensators to enhance this gun’s shooting stability.

Secondary Weapon

Ash is equipped with the 5.7 USG as a secondary weapon. That semi-automatic pistol has a substantial ammunition magazine, enabling you to fire off plenty of bullets before reloading. It is also a gun with low recoil, with a raw firepower trade-off.

Ash’s Breaching Round

The M120 CREM Breaching Round is the unique primary gadget for the Ash R6 operator. This is a single-shot grenade launcher with which Ash can blow holes through non-reinforced wooden walls. Unlike Ash’s X-Kairos Launcher, the Breaching Rounds projectiles automatically detonate upon impact.

Ash’s M120 CREM Breaching Round is loaded with three grenades for soft breaching. This is a gadget, which can also be considered partly a weapon, with which you obliterate non-reinforced barricaded doors, windows, and hatches. Note that its projectiles also wipe out barbed wire, deployable shields, and bulletproof cameras.

Ash’s Breach Charge

The Breach Charge is a non-unique secondary gadget for the Ash R6 operator. This is a secondary gadget you can plant on a non-reinforced wall to blow large holes in it. Two notable differences are that a Breach Charge is not a projectile and must also be remotely detonated. Ash has three Breach Charges you can plant on walls and doors.

Ash’s Stats

Ash is a fast, lightly armored attacking operator. Her faster movement speed can make Ash a harder target to hit, but she’s also vulnerable with less armor. Ash’s range is also quite limited, which makes her better for shorter-range gunfights around objective areas. These are the stats for the Ash R6 operator:

• Difficulty: 2/3
• Range: 2/5
• Speed: 3/3
• Armor: 1/3

Tips for Playing as the Ash R6 Operator

Although you can inflict damage on enemies with Ash’s M120 CREM Breaching Round, it’s best to save this gadget for wall blowing, as it’s not a one-kill wonder. Save your MI20 rounds for blowing through non-reinforced walls around objective areas to create new openings. When you fire a projectile, make sure it’s reasonably low to ensure you create an opening that players can walk through.

Don’t forget you can destroy cameras and deployable shields with the M120 CREM Breaching Round. In fact, the M120 CREM Breaching Round is one of the best gadgets for countering Smoke’s shields. So, make sure you wipe out any deployable shields that get in your way with this gadget.

Ash’s M120 CREM Breaching Round can come in handy for destroying defensive gadgets. If you see a lot of barbed wire and other defensive gadgets obstructing a door, fire a grenade to blow through them.

Ash is among the best operators in the game for launching attacks from above by blowing through non-reinforced hatches directly above objective areas. However, you’ll need to know exactly where the corresponding hatches are above the objective areas to find them quickly in matches. To find where all the hatches are, explore the maps in practise modes. To do so, select Practice on Ash’s loadout screen to choose maps that you can freely explore.

Remember that you can also utilize Ash’s Breach Charges for wall and hatch blowing. Don’t waste M120 Breaching Round grenades when you can easily place a Breach Charge with minimal risk.

It might sometimes be tempting to rush in because of Ash’s speed. However, rushing in blindly is one of the best ways to get yourself killed. So, make sure you utilize your drone for scouting purposes, even when playing as Ash.

How to Counter Ash

The most obvious way to counter the R6 operator in Rainbow Six Mobile is to reinforce wooden walls and hatches around objective areas. You won’t always have time to reinforce all wooden walls before rounds start, but try to reinforce as much as you can. In this respect, defensive operators like Rook and Smoke because they don’t have any gadgets to plant. Thus, you can devote all your pre-round time to reinforcing walls with those operators.

Jäger is the best operator with which to counter Ash because of his Active Defensive System. His ADS gadgets destroy grenades fired with the M120 CREM Breaching Round. So, try placing ADS gadgets alongside common entry points for eliminating Ash’s grenades.

For speed, vertical attacks, freedom of movement, and entry fragging, the Ash R6 operator is one of the best in Rainbow Six Mobile. Only the hard-breaching Thermite and Hibana offer more flexibility for opening up objective areas. However, she’s not ideal for beginners with her lightweight armor and high primary weapon recoil.
