Rainbow Six Extraction vs. Rainbow Six Siege

gamepur.com:

Rainbow Six Extraction isn’t a sequel or expansion to Rainbow Six Siege. Instead, it’s considered a spin-off. The base idea of Rainbow Six Extraction actually comes from a former limited-timed mode in Siege from 2018 called Outbreak. It proved to be such a hit with fans that it’s now been made into a separate game. But there are major differences between Rainbow Six Extraction and Rainbow Six Siege, and which game you’ll prefer depends on the type of experience you’re looking for.

What sets Rainbow Six Extraction and Rainbow Six Siege apart from each other the most is how the games are structured. Rainbow Six Siege is an intense and tactical multiplayer game that pits two teams against each other, with a focus on competitive play that’s led to the game becoming a popular esport. Rainbow Six Extraction, on the other hand, is a strictly cooperative game that pits a single team against AI-controlled enemies. Rather than rescuing hostages from another team, you’ll instead complete a variety of mission objectives together, such as collecting biopsies of the alien enemies.

The switch from PvP to PvE is most likely why the team size in Rainbow Six Extraction allows for a maximum of only three people compared to the five-player teams of Rainbow Six Siege. The available roster of characters is also different between the games. While there’s over 60 operators to choose from in Rainbow Six Siege, there’s currently only 18 available in Rainbow Six Extraction. It seems like a given that more operators will be added to the game but it’s worth keeping in mind that you won’t have access to the entire pool of characters from Rainbow Six Siege.
