The new Rainbow Six Siege map, Calypso Casino, could quickly develop a clear strategic direction after its release. Expert Léo ‘Alphama’ Robine believes that hard-breach setups and roam-heavy defenses will have the upper hand.
According to former pro and analyst Léo ‘Alphama’ Robine, a central element of the map’s architecture is several key exterior walls on each floor that can be reached directly by the attacking team.
“If you look at the map’s layout, every floor has walls that are directly accessible from the outside. These will often be reinforced by defenders because they are the first critical step in an attack for most bomb sites,”.
According to ‘Alphama,’ the kitchen walls on the upper floor, Blackjack on the ground floor, and the vault area in the basement could become key attack points early on.
Hard Breachers as the Key for Attackers
The Rainbow Six Siege expert therefore expects classic hard breachers to play a central role, supported by EMP utility and flexible breach options. On defense, he also sees advantages for operators who can control large spaces and gather intelligence.
Due to the map’s scale, roamers could become particularly powerful: “On defense, the sheer size of the map means that roamers will have an excellent playground.” Operators like Solis, Valkyrie, or Pulse, as well as trap operators, could therefore be especially effective.
Utility disruption could also play an important role, according to ‘Alphama’. “The drone holes and routes have been designed to have a major impact while offering good cover,” says the 26-year-old Frenchman.
He therefore expects operators like Twitch, Brava, and Flores to be particularly relevant in the early meta. So: take this pro tip to heart and give it a try.
