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

In Rainbow Six Siege, Valkyrie is a defender built around the Black Eye Camera. Throw cameras outside the site for spawn-area intel — read attacker spawns and rotation directions. Recon 6's plans pick Valkyrie at 21 sites (15 essential), led by Football Office on Favela.

Valkyrie is external-intel. Her Black Eye cameras can be thrown outside the site for spawn-peek reads. Banned in 60%+ of Plat+ matches because her intel + roaming aggression wins rounds.
