Caveira R6 Guide — Loadout, Sites, & How to Play in 2026
In Rainbow Six Siege, Caveira is a defender built around the Silent Step. Passive — Caveira moves silently when activated. Use Silent Step to flank attackers from spawn-side. Recon 6's plans pick Caveira at 12 sites, led by Tellers on Consulate.
Caveira is the silent roamer. Silent Step lets her sneak up on attackers, and her Luison pistol puts them in DBNO for interrogate — revealing all teammate positions. Plat+ players ban her for the information advantage.

Playing against Caveira
On attack: bring Lion for scans — even with Silent Step, Lion reveals Caveira during scan window. Don't solo-flank — Caveira interrogate kills isolated attackers. If you go DBNO to Caveira, expect interrogate.
Climbing ranked with Caveira
Use Silent Step to flank attackers from spawn-side. Get Luison kills early in the round — interrogate reveals attacker positions for the rest of the team. Don't use Luison kills late round — too risky.
