Rainbow Six Extraction: How to Rescue MIA Operators

gamerant.com:

Rainbow Six Extraction has a total of eighteen Operators to work toward reaching their maximum levels. If one of those characters dies while on a mission, they will be classified as «missing in action.» Unlike injured Operators who heal over time, being MIA means a character cannot be selected for missions until they are rescued.

This guide will explain how to start a rescue mission and recover an MIA Operator in Rainbow Six Extraction, detail the best method for a higher chance of completing the objective, and exactly how to destroy the Archean Tree holding the Operator.

Rainbow Six Extraction: Best Vigil Loadout

If an Operator's regular picture has been replaced with a red overlay on the character select menu, this means they have been lost on a previous mission and are now MIA. Players must go back to the exact level they lost them to rescue the MIA Operator. While every other main objective is randomized in the game, this rescue mission will always be one of the three objectives that reward lots of XP in Rainbow Six Extraction if an Operator was downed during that level.

Before starting, it's highly recommended to set the difficulty to Moderate, and play either solo or with a group of friends that players can communicate with. Using the Quickplay party finder will launch a mission with two random players who most likely won't care about rescuing the MIA Operator as much as the person who lost them. If players are struggling to find a reliable party to play with, they can use the Rainbow Six Extraction Buddy Pass, which lets two friends try the game at no cost for a limited time.

Successfully rescuing an MIA Operator will return them to a player's roster as injured, but the Operator will eventually heal in Rainbow Six
