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 Grim
  • EchoDEFSOFT

    Grim fires the Kawan Hive into a room and follows the intel in, and a Yokai holding that room disorients him at the doorway the swarm marked.

Who Grim counters
  • OryxDEFMEDIUM

    Oryx's Remah Dash is about crossing ground faster than anyone can react. A Kawan swarm on the rotation tags him every time he uses it, so the speed stops being surprise.

  • VigilDEFSOFT

    Vigil's ERC-7 wipes his image from cameras. Grim's bots do not watch him, they stick to whoever walks through, so the cloak has nothing to hide from.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Grim an Attacker or Defender?

Grim 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 Grim?

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 Grim 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.
