- Rasco100: He names no gun in the chapter, but talks about the F2 immediately after, and it is one of only two Snake primaries.
- SINOOS: "No other attachment, literally."
- SenVale: Most of the time we'll start with grenades, because it helps make that initial entry.

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.
The Soliton Radar marks hostiles electronically, and the ERC-7 scans surrounding electronic devices and wipes Vigil from them, so the minimap shows an empty room he is standing in.
Caveira's whole kit is arriving unheard and undetected, and the Soliton Radar Mk. III marks any hostile in Solid Snake's immediate surroundings whether or not she made a sound.
Common questions
Is Solid Snake an Attacker or Defender?
Solid Snake 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 Solid Snake?
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 Solid Snake 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.
