Q & A

Why is attacking in Siege considered difficult?

Attacking in Siege is challenging because it requires strategic thinking, communication with teammates, and effective use of operators and utility to break through defender positions while also dealing with environmental obstacles like reinforced walls and denial devices.

What is the first step to successfully attacking a site in Siege?

The first step is to gather information about the defenders' positions, often using sound cues and drones to check rooms and locate where the enemies are hiding.

What operators should be selected for an effective attack?

You should select operators based on the bomb site and map. Useful choices include hard breachers like Ace and Thermite, EMP or grenade operators for utility denial, and operators like Lion, Sledge, or Nomad for additional support.

Why is it important to avoid being selfish when selecting operators?

Selfish operator selection can hinder the team's chances of success. Picking operators that are more useful for the team—like support roles or hard breachers—helps ensure a better chance of victory.

What is the significance of saving drones during the preparation phase?

Saving drones allows you to gather crucial intel during the round, such as watching flanks, spotting defenders, and providing live updates on enemy positions, which can be pivotal for a successful attack.

What are the two primary types of pushes in an attack?

The two primary types of pushes are direct pushes, where you attack the bomb site head-on, and indirect pushes, where you take control of other areas of the map to force defenders out of their positions.

Why is cutting off angles important when attacking?

Cutting off angles prevents defenders from safely holding their positions and makes it harder for them to get easy kills. It forces them into uncomfortable situations where they must react to your team's pressure.

What role do flank cams play in an attack?

Flank cams help monitor potential flanking routes during the round, ensuring that attackers aren’t caught off-guard by defenders attempting to rotate or surprise them from behind.

How do you handle situations when defenders have utility that blocks your path?

You should use your utility, such as EMPs or grenades, to disable or destroy the defenders' gadgets and utility, creating a clearer path to the site or breaking their defensive lines.

What should you do if you and your teammates are stuck on one side of the map?

Avoid clustering all your team on one side, as this makes it easier for defenders to control the map. Spread out your team, apply pressure from multiple angles, and work to pinch the defenders by attacking from different areas.
