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.
A Zoto Canister is thrown onto the floor to freeze whatever is deploying there, and the BU-GI Auto Breacher destroys every device along the path it grinds, canister included.
A Zoto Canister freezes devices to pause their deployment, and Thermite's Exothermic Charge is a device that has to sit on the wall and burn through it.
X-Kairos pellets are placed and then detonated, and Tubarao's Zoto Canister freezes them in the gap between the two.
Ace's S.E.L.M.A. Aqua Breacher opens to deploy after it is thrown, which is exactly the window a Zoto Canister freezes shut.
Common questions
Is Tubarão an Attacker or Defender?
Tubarão 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 Tubarão?
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 Tubarão 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.
