  • Barbed Wire
  • NotJoeyBlack: The extended barrel only adds 3 damage, so drop it if recoil is the problem.
  • NotJoeyBlack: Always run the Bailiff, because it is just a secondary shotgun.
  • Rasco100: I'd take the BP over the barbed wire.

Matchups

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.

Who counters Doc
  • ZofiaATTSOFT

    A Stim Pistol restores health, so Doc answers damage. Zofia's concussion ammunition disorients instead, and there is no dose for that.

  • BlitzATTSOFT

    Doc needs line of sight to stim a teammate, and a G52-Tactical flash takes the whole room's sight at once, including his.

Who Doc counters
  • CapitãoATTMEDIUM

    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.

  • GridlockATTSOFT

    Trax Stingers hurt whoever crosses them, and a Stim Pistol gives that back without the Defender leaving the room.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Doc an Attacker or Defender?

Doc 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 Doc?

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 Doc 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.
