Rainbow Six Extraction: Beginner’s Guide For Surviving The Archaeans

screenrant.com:

Surviving the vicious hoards of Archaeans in Rainbow Six Extraction is certainly easier said than done, especially on harder difficulties. The game features a variety of grotesque alien monsters to beat and diverse, challenging objectives to complete. Therefore, understanding how to react in certain situations can be a lifesaver for a team of beginners. The new mechanics of this unique standalone spinoff from Rainbow Six Siege are easier to learn but hard to master, which is why newcomers might want to face the Archaeans with some prior knowledge and preparation.

First and foremost, players should choose an Operator that suits their playstyle. Rainbow Six Extraction features eighteen total Operators, each equipped with their own special tactical abilities and perks. Undoubtedly, there are characters from the playable roster who will better serve specific types of players, yet some Operators will objectively provide better utility for any team. Such Operators include Doc, who offers bonus HP recovery during missions. Although the replenished HP isn't permanent, the medical assistance he provides is substantial as healing is limited in each area. Another example would be Pulse, whose Cardiac Sensor ability is particularly valuable when stealth is a priority.

There are numerous enemy types in Rainbow Six Extraction, and players will come to grasp the mechanics of each one through experience. However, one type that can cause quite a bit of trouble is the Archaean exploders: Bloaters and Breachers. Use stealth takedowns on these enemies whenever possible. In the case they are charging the player, never immediately open fire as they will explode and deal massive damage.
