Can You Hack Fenrir with Brava? A Deep Dive into Rainbow Six Siege’s Interactions

Yes, Brava can absolutely hack Fenrir’s F-NATT Dread Mines in Rainbow Six Siege. However, the interaction is nuanced, and knowing the specifics is crucial for maximizing your effectiveness with Brava and countering Fenrir. This article will explore how this interaction works, alongside other important details regarding their abilities and counters, and answer 15 related frequently asked questions.

How Brava’s Kludge Drone Interacts with Fenrir’s Dread Mines

Brava’s unique ability, the Kludge Drone, allows her to take control of enemy gadgets. When deployed against Fenrir’s Dread Mines, the Kludge Drone can hack them, essentially turning them against Fenrir’s team. This means that the hacked mines will now trigger on defenders, not attackers, significantly disrupting the defender’s strategy and creating openings for the attacking team.

The Nuances of Hacking

While the ability to hack Fenrir’s mines is powerful, it’s not without its drawbacks. Here’s what to consider:

• Brava is not immune to her own hacked mines: If a hacked mine is triggered near Brava or her teammates, they will be affected by the fear gas just like any defender would. This requires careful planning and positioning when deploying the drone.
• Timing is key: Hacking mines that are already active is the most impactful, as inactive mines can be destroyed by Brava without hacking (although this might not always be the optimal choice, as we’ll explore later).
• Fenrir’s Resistance: While Fenrir’s traps are vulnerable to hacking, he himself is not directly affected by Brava’s gadget. He does not experience any special resistance to her drone’s hacking abilities.
• Strategic Usage: The best way to use Brava against Fenrir is not always to hack every mine. Sometimes, using her drone for intel or to eliminate other gadgets might be more impactful.

Destroying Inactive Mines

Brava’s drone can also destroy inactive Fenrir mines. However, this is not always the best course of action. Hacking an active mine is far more valuable as it turns it against the defending team. Destroying an inactive mine denies the defenders one trap, but hacking an active one disrupts the entire defensive setup. Choosing when to destroy or when to hack is a vital decision for Brava players.

Other Counters to Fenrir’s Dread Mines

While Brava is a powerful counter, she is not the only solution. Here are other ways to tackle Fenrir:

• Explosives: Grenades, Ash’s projectiles, Zofia’s concussion and impact grenades can destroy the mines regardless of their activation state. These are a reliable way to clear mines quickly.
• EMPs: Thatcher’s EMP grenades disable the mines, making them temporarily useless. This can be useful in coordinated pushes.
• Other Operator Abilities:
  • IQ: Can detect mines through walls.
  • Twitch: Can destroy the mines using her drone.
  • Zero: Can destroy the mines with his Argus Cameras.
• Finka’s Adrenal Surge: Counters the fear gas effect, allowing players to push through affected areas with reduced impairment.
• Montagne’s Shield: The shield protects him from the effects of the fear gas, allowing for safe entry and clearing.
• Glaz: Glaz can see through the fear gas making him a useful counter when pushing through the gas zones.

Fenrir’s Strengths

It’s also important to understand Fenrir’s strengths to better strategize against him:

• Information Gathering: Activated Fenrir mines give valuable intel to the defender.
• Area Denial: The fear gas slows and disorients attackers, making it difficult to push through.
• Bulletproof When Deactivated: This makes it hard to destroy a mine before its activated.

The Importance of the Meta Game

Fenrir’s prevalence in Rainbow Six Siege means he’s often targeted for bans. Understanding his strengths and weaknesses will give you a crucial advantage when he’s on the field. Using operators such as Brava and coordinating with your team allows you to effectively neutralize his impact on a match.
