Iana R6 Guide — Loadout, Sites, & How to Play in 2026

In Rainbow Six Siege, Iana is an attacker built around the Gemini Replicator. Use Gemini for site exec intel — pop holo into the room, scan defender positions, push real Iana through the breach with team support. Recon 6's plans pick Iana at 26 sites, led by Bathroom on Border.

Iana is intel-first attack. Her Gemini Replicator scouts site without risk, identifies defender positions, and bait gadgets like Maestro Evil Eyes. Strong on intel-dense maps where pre-exec info wins rounds.

Iana's loadout and gadget

A holographic clone (Gemini) that runs into the site to gather intel. Can be destroyed by defenders but draws their fire and reveals positions.

Ubisoft's Iana page has the current loadout; SiegeGG's Iana stats track pro picks.

Iana's strengths

• Gemini provides risk-free site intel — no consequence if defender shoots it.
• Bait gadgets — defenders waste Maestro shots on the holo.
• ARX200 is a strong AR with great recoil control.
• Smoke / frag secondary for utility flexibility.

Who counters Iana?

Operators that counter Iana:

• Mozzie (Pests destroy Iana's real drone, limiting her info).
• Vigil (uncatchable on cam — Iana can't see him).

Playing against Iana

On defense: Mozzie Pests on common drone-entry windows kill Iana's real drone. Don't shoot Iana's Gemini holo unless you can't identify it — give it 2 seconds to confirm it's the holo, then ignore it.

Climbing ranked with Iana

Use Gemini for site exec intel — pop holo into the room, scan defender positions, push real Iana through the breach with team support. Don't use Gemini in the open air — it's too obvious as a fake.
