NøkkLoadout and Counters
What named creators run on Nøkk, and every option the game allows. Plus the gadget interactions that decide the matchup.
Best loadout
FMG-9
- 5.7 USG
- D-50
- Frag GrenadeNotJoeyBlack's pick
- HARD BREACH CHARGE
- Impact EMP Grenade
- SINOOS: Suppressor on Nokk for stealth, but he says the recoil stays poor either way. Flash hider is the alternative; a compensator does not help.
- NotJoeyBlack: Finally, I would recommend frag grenades.
Primary and attachments: NotJoeyBlack and Rasco100's pick. The secondary list is every option the game gives Nøkk; 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.
Nokk's advantage is arriving unseen and unheard. A Castle Armor Panel cannot be opened quietly, so every entrance it covers makes her announce herself.
Nokk's HEL hides her from drones, bulletproof cameras and Evil Eyes, which are observation tools. A Black Mirror is a pane of glass with Mira's own eyes behind it, so the cloak has nothing to hide from.
Nokk's HEL Presence Reduction hides her from cameras and drones, and Pulse's HB-5 Cardiac Sensor is neither: it reads a heartbeat through the wall she is standing behind.
Nokk's HEL Presence Reduction names Evil Eyes among the tools it hides her from, so Maestro's turret watches her walk past it and reports nothing.
Black Eyes are pre-placed to catch a flank, and the HEL Presence Reduction wipes Nokk's image from observation tools, so the camera holds the angle and sees an empty room.
The Yokai's value is the feed it sends Echo. Nokk does not register on it, so a drone hovering over her route buys him nothing.
Common questions

Nøkk 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 Nøkk?
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 Nøkk 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.
