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 Mag-NET System attracts an opponent's projectile and detonates it. The RCE-Ratero is not thrown, it drives, so it reaches the Mag-NET on the ground and destroys the gadget that was waiting to catch a throw.
A Mag-NET System pulls Ying's thrown Candela to itself and detonates it there, so Wamai chooses where the flash goes off and it is not where she wanted it.
Wamai's page says the Mag-NET turns Attackers' projectiles against them, and a KS79 concussion round redirected back down the hallway does exactly that to Zofia's own push.
The Mag-NET System attracts Ash's M120 CREM Breaching Round away from the wall she aimed it at, so the hole opens where Wamai placed his gadget instead.
Common questions
Is Wamai an Attacker or Defender?
Wamai 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 Wamai?
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 Wamai 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.
