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.
Goyo's plan is that somebody shoots the Volcan Shield and burns for it. Sledge opens the wall beside it with the hammer, so the shield is neither triggered nor in the way.
A Volcan Shield blocks a pathway and waits to be shot, and Ace opens a clean rectangle in the wall beside it instead, so the incendiary never gets its trigger.
The Volcan Shield's attached incendiary bomb is thermal damage, which Gridlock's own page lists as one of the three things that destroys Trax Stingers, so blocking a path with one clears the spikes in front of it.
Common questions
Is Goyo an Attacker or Defender?
Goyo 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 Goyo?
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 Goyo 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.
