In Rainbow Six Siege, Twitch is an attacker built around the Shock Drone. Master the Bandit-trick counter: shoot Bandit batteries with Twitch drone darts before Thermite places his charge. Recon 6's plans pick Twitch at 19 sites (19 essential), led by Tellers' Office on Bank.

Twitch is the alternative to Thatcher for clearing defender gadgets. Her Shock Drones can't EMP electronics, but they can SHOOT them — Bandit batteries, Mira windows, Maestro Evil Eyes all get destroyed by a well-aimed dart.

Twitch's loadout and gadget

Two shock drones that fire small darts (5 charges each, 10 total) to destroy defender gadgets and damage operators. Replaces standard drone.

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

Twitch's strengths

• Shock drones can clear gadgets through walls (you don't need line-of-sight to the gadget itself).
• F2 is one of the highest-RPM ARs in the game.
• Drones can chain-clear multiple gadgets per round.
• Smoke / claymore secondary.

Who counters Twitch?

Operators that counter Twitch:

• Mute (jammers block drone signals).
• Mozzie (Pests can capture Twitch drones).

Playing against Twitch

On defense: Mute jammers near key gadgets block Twitch drones from approaching. Mozzie Pests capture Twitch drones and make them work for the defenders. Watch for the small drone shape — destroy it with primary fire if it's near a gadget.

Climbing ranked with Twitch

Master the Bandit-trick counter: shoot Bandit batteries with Twitch drone darts before Thermite places his charge. The drone doesn't need EMP timing — it can clear at any time. Save 2-3 darts for late-round Maestro / Mira clearing.
