CaveiraLoadout and Counters
What named creators run on Caveira, and every option the game allows. Plus the gadget interactions that decide the matchup.
Best loadout
M12
- Luison
- Impact GrenadeNotJoeyBlack's pick
- PROXIMITY ALARM
- Observation Blocker
- NotJoeyBlack: Run the shotgun as the primary; her Luison is already good at range and takes no laser, since stealth is the point.
- Rasco100: Nothing on the shotgun, and no laser on the Luison: it gives your position away.
- SINOOS: Slow firing, so the suppressor costs little.
- NotJoeyBlack: I would run impacts to make you a little more dynamic around the map.
Primary and attachments: NotJoeyBlack and Rasco100's pick.
Where the creators disagreed

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.
Caveira's Silent Step answers sound. The EE-ONE-D answers movement, so a scan mid-hunt pins her whether or not she made a noise, and standing still is the only out.
Caveira's Silent Step is about arriving unheard and undetected, and Jackal's Eyenox Model III reads footfall rather than sound, so her approach leaves a trail he can follow back to her.
Caveira's whole kit is arriving unheard and undetected, and the Soliton Radar Mk. III marks any hostile in Solid Snake's immediate surroundings whether or not she made a sound.
Thermite's own page says losing him early hinders the team significantly, and Caveira's Silent Step is the fastest way for a Defender to reach a back-line support who is watching a wall, not his back.
Glaz holds long angles from outside the building, which puts him alone and static. That is the shape Caveira's silent roam is built to find.
Common questions
Is Caveira an Attacker or Defender?
Caveira is a Defender 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 Caveira?
NotJoeyBlack, Rasco100 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 Caveira 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.
