There is a wide variety of consumables that give you a fighting chance against the “Archies” including various grenades, revive stims for KO ’ed teammates, body armor for damage taken reduction, and more. Along with your operator skills on the right bumper you have access to REACT gear on the left bumper. operative, and if you are unable to they will lose any experience they had accumulated during the mission they had been incapacitated on. You are given two opportunities to rescue an M.I.A. If you are playing co-operatively your teammates can carry your foam infused body (foam stops the parasite from consuming you right away) to an extraction point as well, which thankfully in one of the few matchmaking incursions I got into during the review period happened for me after I got a little too aggressive. It’s a harrowing experience, especially when it is the 3 rd objective. To get them back you must run a mission in the same level with “Rescue M.I.A.” becoming one of your three objectives. While you can potentially extract at any time you will lose operators which results in them going M.I.A. ![]() This does not persist and will be lost when, well if, you extract. There are medkits as well that can give you health boosts, which are a blue bar added to your health on top of your base white bar. One such ability is Doc’s health boost pistol. Certain abilities operate on a timer and others require a restock before they can be used again but are generally more powerful. For fans of Siege, you’ll find plenty of familiar faces and abilities. The only way to gain it back is to run another incursion with a different operator, which is a successful way to encourage you to try out different people. Getting back to that healing situation, this game features a persistence to the damage you take to your base (white) health. It will reset as you move zone to zone, but once it hits zero if you aren’t already at or right next to the extraction zone you’re as good as dead. Each sub-section of an incursion also features a “time to swarm” clock, which you want to pay attention to. It’s a solid risk/reward setup that lends a feeling of accomplishment every time you are able to complete all three objectives in a single incursion. You can extract at any time but choosing to go for extra objectives can earn you far larger experience rewards. Missions are known as incursions and contain procedural generation for how the map is laid out on each run. Your operators cannot heal their base HP mid-mission and can go down incredibly quickly after only a few enemy attacks. Deliberate is a proper word to describe every part of this game, at least on controller, and especially as the difficulty increases. This is not a horde co-op shooter in the same vein as B4B either. None of it is great, but it is far better than the recently released Back 4 Blood and I didn’t immediately hate every single character here. There is quite a bit of world-building and pre-rendered cutscene work. Each has their own 10 levels to earn as you progress through the main story. There are 18 operators from Rainbow 6 Siege in the mix here. With a name worthy of adoration for just how terrible it is, the US government responds by creating the Rainbow Exogenous Analysis and Containment Team (REACT). After a very smart man brings it back to his home a potential world destroying alien species known as the Archaeans begins to infest any and everything. That’s not Ecto Cooler REACTcronymĪ Soyuz capsule has crash-landed in the New Mexico desert. ![]() How does this procedurally generated run-based alien-infestation-filled FPS fare? Surprisingly well, happily enough. It’s a slow-paced, up to 3 player co-op PVE experience featuring 18 of the Operators from the main game. Originally titled Quarantine, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction is finally here and surprisingly it’s available day one on Game Pass for console and PC. I confess that I had did not play that much of it though as I found the community in it to be full of some truly toxic habits. A rough launch turned into a massive success story as Ubisoft stuck by the game and turned it into one of the most successful of the generation. After the single-player game titled Rainbow 6: Patriots was canceled Rainbow Six: Siege rose from its discarded ashes. ![]() The Rainbow Six property has had an interesting time in the last decade.
