Counters
Rainbow Six counters are gadget interactions, rules of the game rather than statistics, so every pairing here comes from the two operators' own kit pages: the mechanism from whoever wins it, the gadget it beats from whoever brings it.
Capitao's Tactical Crossbow delivers its asphyxiation bolt silently, which does nothing about an Active Defense System that shoots the bolt out of the air.
A Mag-NET pulls in Capitao's crossbow bolt and detonates it on the spot, so the fire lands on the Attackers' side of the room rather than flushing the anchor.
The asphyxiation bolt is damage over time meant to burn an anchor off a position. Doc's Stim Pistol restores health from range, so the anchor holds and the bolt is spent.
The Glance Smart Glasses beat flashes and smoke, which is the pair Warden is built for. Capitao's asphyxiation bolt is fire, so the position he is holding through them simply burns.
A Kona Station only works if a hurt Defender can walk to it, and an asphyxiation bolt on the ground beside it makes the approach the most dangerous tile in the room.
Common questions
Is Capitão an Attacker or Defender?
Capitão is an Attacker in Rainbow Six Siege.
Where do these counters come from?
Rainbow Six's counters are mostly deterministic gadget interactions, rules of the game rather than statistics, so we state them from the two operators' own kit pages with no telemetry needed. A pairing is only written where the winning operator's page names the mechanism, which is why plenty of operators here carry none. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.
What is the best loadout for Capitão?
NotJoeyBlack and SINOOS publish loadout picks under their own name, and this page credits each of them rather than averaging them into a single answer. We measure nothing ourselves. The list of what Capitão can equip is the game's own, and is separate from anyone's opinion about it. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.
