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.
Maestro's own page says the Evil Eye is unaffected by bullets and melee, which leaves utility. Brava's Kludge Drone takes the turret over outright, so the overwatch angle becomes hers.
The Evil Eye ignores bullets, but Maestro's page notes the core is exposed while it fires. A Shock Drone dart is the utility that answers a turret nothing else on the Attackers' guns can touch.
An Evil Eye cannot be shot down, and a Ratero cannot be shot down either once it clutches a surface, so Flores trades one bulletproof device for another and the turret loses.
Thatcher has to get close enough to throw an E.G.S. Disruptor at the wall. The Evil Eye holds that wall, ignores bullets and melee, and lasers him during the approach.
Glaz's Flipsight needs a long steady hold on one lane, and an Evil Eye holds the same lane while being immune to the rifle pointed at it.
Common questions
Is Maestro an Attacker or Defender?
Maestro 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 Maestro?
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 Maestro 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.
