Rainbow Six Siege: Floors Are Sites Too

Siege sites die from above and below. Reinforcing only walls is how you get farmed through a floor.

Hatches are a site wall

If a hatch is open, the site is already entered. Reinforce or watch it. Rainbow Six Siege vertical is not optional on most maps.

Attackers should open a hatch even if they do not drop. Pressure from above wins plants.

Soft floors are guns

Shotgun a floor if you can hear them plant. Defenders should line the floor with a rotate or a mute. Ignoring the ceiling is a throw.

Do not all hold the same door while the floor is open. Someone has to watch vertical.

Roamers play the floors

A roam below can catch a plant. A roam that never rotates is just dead. Come back for the retake.

If you lose both hatches in prep, play a different site next round. Adapt.

Players who want extra context after this guide can also use additional information.
