Designed with squad play in mind, your mission is best experienced in co-op - which means you’ll have to pick not just the best Operators in Rainbow Six Extraction, but the best team comps to get the most out of their abilities as well. Whether it’s stealth, recon, zoning enemies, healing, or assault, there’s an Operator out there with the right speciality for you. However, these characters are lifted pretty much wholesale from their appearance in Rainbow Six Siege with very similar skill sets....

Back at the Duke’s Altar, now is a good time to invest the Lei you’ve accumulated in previous parts into upgrades and ammo. From the Moreau section onwards is when the action elements of Resident Evil Village really come to the fore, with tougher battles and more difficult foes in greater numbers.
