Twitch
Offensive operator
Twitch R6 Siege operator is often picked for her gun alone, but she is also capable of supporting the entire team with her unique Shock drones.
Twitch can be either a support or entry fragging operator.
From the utility perspective, Twitch fills in the role of Utility destruction. Her utility is especially useful for Hard breach support and destroying Mira’s Black Mirrors.

What is the utility?
How to use utility?

TOP TIER PRIORITY
MIRA
BREACH DENIAL
- defensive team operator composition
- your team operators selection
- objective site
- your team’s tactic
LOW TIER PRIORITY

- have limited ammo count that needs a recharge
- make noise and show visual cue to defenders, when using darts
Use your drones wisely!
To illustrate: You drone for a teammate and spotted Kapkan trap in the door. Instead of using a dart to destroy utility, reveal this information to your teammate. He can shoot it quickly with a gun, rather than you wasting your limited resources to eliminate utility easily disposed of by other means.
Now, let’s focus on how you should use your drones thorough the round.
PREPARATION PHASE
Keynote for preparation phase:
Let’s separate placing drone for two main scenarios:
You are not going to focus on Mira Mirrors or Breach denial devices.
By the end of the prep phase, you should have your drone placed close to your intended entry point.Why?Well, that’s so you know whether defenders plan to spawn peek or any roamer is lurking for an easy kill on your entry.On top of that, you can pick your drone as you enter the building.
You plan to take out Mira window or Breach denial gadgets
You should place your drone somewhere safe, yet preferably quite close to the destination.At the start of the round many defenders will prioritize preventing Twitch R6 operator from destroying such vital utility, so do not risk it at the beginning. Unless of course, you have an easy possibility to do so.During the preparation phase, defenders will often jump on default cameras to see if any are destroyed.It is often a good indication of Twitch being present, which may raise defensive team alertness.I usually avoid zapping any camera during the preparation phase for that reason.
ACTION PHASE
Two keywords for utility usage when playing Twitch are patience and balance.

Sight choices are purely personal and depend on the player’s playstyle, map, even objective & specific role.
Please treat the below suggestion as what it is – our preferences.
We encourage you to experiment to find your setup.
Remember, just because something works for someone else, does not mean it has to and will work for you!
