Osa Is One of Rainbow Six Siege's Most Versatile Operators

gamerant.com:

Shield operators are generally the first line of defense in Rainbow Six Siege. By trading a primary weapon for a shield, operators like Blitz, Clash, Fuze, and Montagne can get the upper hand on their enemies by essentially making themselves bulletproof. Even though opponents have several options to deal with shield operators (flanking, meleeing the shield, or using utility like grenades), the unpredictability of a shield makes adapting to the situation more difficult. On the downside, shield operators in Rainbow Six Siege aren't the best when it comes to actual combat. Full shield operators like Montagne and Clash have almost no way to defend themselves, as Montagne has to hold up his Extendable Shield with both hands while Clash can only lightly zap opponents with her Crowd Control Electro Shield.

Half shield operators like Blitz and Fuze can use their pistol whilst holding up their shields, but the gun's accuracy is so bad inRainbow Six Siege that players should forgo using it this way. To do any real damage, shield operators have to put their primary method of defense away. Doing so can take a couple of seconds, and by the time they've got their secondary weapon out, the enemy has had enough time to formulate a strategy around the shield operator. A shield operator's secondary weapon is usually a pistol — which pales in comparison to a non-shield operator's primary weapon (which is usually a fully-automatic assault rifle, submachine gun, or shotgun). It goes without saying that holding up the shield makes these operators giant targets for the enemy team, and shield operators have to coordinate with their allies to get the most out of their abilities.
