- NotJoeyBlack: Her only primary, and it takes no attachments.
- Rasco100: Nothing can be changed on the sniper.
- NotJoeyBlack: A claymore just to stop people jumping out on you, since most of the time you're repelling somewhere or on a balcony.
Primary and attachments: NotJoeyBlack and Rasco100's pick. The secondary list is every option the game gives Kali; nobody we read picks between them.
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.
Kali has to hold a long static angle to line up the CSRX 300, and a Remote Gas Grenade on that position is detonated the moment she settles into it.
Kali's LV Explosive Lance lodges in a reinforced wall and destroys gadgets in its blast radius, which is where Bandit's CED-1 Shock Wire has to sit to electrify it.
The Rtila Electroclaw attaches to the wall it electrifies, so Kali's LV Explosive Lance can kill it from a window across the map instead of anyone droning it out.
A Black Mirror is carved into a wall and then defended, and Kali's lance lodges in exactly that wall and destroys gadgets in its radius, so the one-way window goes without anyone entering the room.
Common questions
Is Kali an Attacker or Defender?
Kali 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 Kali?
NotJoeyBlack and Rasco100 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 Kali 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.
