A Guide to the Valkyrie R6 Operator in Rainbow Six Mobile

Valkyrie is one of the defenders in Rainbow Six Mobile who’s great at providing more extensive intel. The Valkyrie R6 operator can serve as the ears and eyes for defenders, thanks to the camera gadgetry at her disposal. She is an operator with whom you can strip away the attacking team’s element of surprise. Mastering Valkyrie can help you dominate the tactical ladder with invaluable real-time intel.

Primary Weapon

The MPX Submachine Gun is the primary weapon for the Valkyrie R6 operator. It is a firearm with a high fire rate and low recoil, which makes it a strong weapon for close-quarter combat. This gun is defined by its rapid fire and laser-like precision, which enhance its accuracy in inflicting headshots. However, the baseline damage of the MPX Submachine Gun is relatively low.

Secondary Weapon

The Valkyrie R6 operator has a Keratos .40 high-damage revolver for her secondary weapon in Rainbow Six Mobile. That revolver inflicts serious damage and has manageable recoil, especially with the Muzzle Brake attachment added. However, this gun has a limited ammunition magazine and slow reload times.

Valkyrie’s Black Eye Camera

The Black Eye Camera is the unique gadget for the Valkyrie R6 operator. Valkyrie has three throwable, sticky cameras that stick to almost any surface. Those cameras have 360-degree rotation, enabling Valkyrie and teammates to fully scan corridors and rooms for enemies.

Note that Valkyrie’s Black Eye Cameras aren’t in any way bulletproof. It’s easy for attackers to destroy those cameras with their guns or grenades. Viewing a Black Eye feed also illuminates the camera with a blue ring, making it easier to spot for attackers.

Valkyrie’s Nitro Cell

The Valkyrie R6 operator has a secondary Nitro Cell gadget. That is a remotely detonated explosive device you can plant on walls or the floor. The Nitro Cell delivers a large explosive blast when detonated with its controller.

Valkyrie’s Stats

Valkyrie is a solid all-round operator for stats. She has mid-range stats for range, armor, and speed. Her difficulty stat is the maximum, which is a little surprising because it’s not especially tricky to place her cameras. These are the stats for the Valkyrie R6 operator:

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

Tips for Playing as the Valkyrie R6 Operator

Black Eye Camera placement is crucial when playing as the Valkyrie R6 operator. The best places to plant those cameras are generally around doorway entrances to the objective areas you’re defending. Place your cameras overlooking corridors and rooms that attackers will likely pass through to reach the objective areas.

However, you must be careful not to make it too easy for enemies to spot your Black Eyes. Avoid placing your cameras at eye level on walls alongside doors. Instead, toss them into ceiling corners. Or throw them onto ceilings just above door entrances. It’s somewhat harder for defenders to spot high cameras on ceilings.

Note that you can view your cameras when you’re in a round. So, don’t wait until you’re eliminated to start utilizing them. The best time to utilize Black Eye cameras is during the first minute of a round. Scanning enemies when they start attacking will alert your teammates to where they’re coming from.

You don’t always necessarily need to scan enemies with your cameras. Scanning enemies will alert them with a warning. Instead, try utilizing yellow pings to stealthily highlight enemy positions.

Don’t plant Valkyrie’s Nitro Cells during the prep phase. Instead, wait until after matches start so that you can see, rather than merely anticipate, where enemies push from. When you know an enemy is trying to push through a specific door or window, chuck the Nitro Cell toward it and quickly detonate.

Valkyrie’s Keratos .40 is also a good weapon for blowing holes in soft walls. This is a gun with which you can create large holes in non-reinforced walls. Blow through soft walls between objective areas with the Keratos .40 during the prep phases of rounds to set up custom lines of sight for defending.

How to Counter the Valkyrie R6 Operator

Dokkaebi is one of the best Rainbow Six Mobile operators for intel denial. Activating defenders’ phones with her Logic Bomb also temporarily disables cameras. However, that is only a temporary effect.

Twitch can completely disable cameras with her Shock Drones. However, it’s hard to spot Black Eye Cameras from the low ground level of drones. You’ll need to scan wall and ceiling areas with Shock Drones to spot and disable Valkyrie’s cameras with them.

The best way to counter Valkyrie’s cameras is to keep an eye out for them yourself. If you know Valkyrie is on the defender side, look for the spherical cameras above and around door entrances to objective areas. Then blow away any cameras spotted with your gun.

If you love to play with cameras, you’ll love the Valkyrie R6 operator in Rainbow Six Mobile. With three well-placed Black Eye Cameras, you can show your teammates exactly where attackers are pushing from during matches. Such intel will also help you identify where enemies are so you can kill them yourself.
