Perhaps the most infamous operator from Rainbow Six: Siege, Tachanka has returned in the extraction zone to take out some archaeans with some classic weaponry. While Tachanka was largely considered to be a “meme-pick” in Siege, he is actually incredibly useful in Rainbow Six: Extraction with his ability to take out large amounts of archaeans faster than any other operator in the game. Even if you go down, your team can take advantage of your ability.

Tachanka also comes equipped with the GSH-18 and PMM sidearms. Both of these sidearms are relatively similar, but the GSH-18 comes with some more ammo at the cost of power. That said, it still manages to one-shot headshot weaker archaeans with a suppressor.

There is nothing better than setting up and shredding through some archaeans as they come to take out your team.
