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.
Noor's Horus Lance Launcher fires projectiles that pierce shields, so Montagne's Le Roc Shield stops being cover: the extendable shield only protects against small-arms fire, and a lance goes through it and ignites.
The Le Roc Shield stops small-arms fire and close combat. It does not stop gas, so a Remote Gas Grenade dropped on an extended shield either moves Montagne or kills him behind it.
Two shields meet and only one of them can act: Clash tasers and backs off, and Montagne cannot shoot at all with the Le Roc extended.
Pulse has to stand close to a wall to read a heartbeat through it, which means standing still. An extended Le Roc Shield walks that lane down and he cannot trade with it.
Prisma punishes an Attacker who shoots first and identifies second. Montagne cannot shoot at all with the shield extended, so he walks a hologram down and marks nothing.

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 Montagne?
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 Montagne 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.
