Types of Walls
There are various wall types that interact differently with Operators in Rainbow Six Mobile (R6M). Learn how to use each type of wall tactically and strategically in your games.

List of Contents

Types of Walls

Soft Walls

Melee Holes
Melee Hit
Gadget Hole
Gadget

Soft walls, usually seen as having a wooden texture, are penetrable surfaces. They can be penetrated by bullets and melee hits to create peek holes, but they will not break down and will leave the wall structure mostly intact.

To create a fully passable hole on soft walls, you will need to use specific operator abilities or gadgets.

Floors and Ceilings can be Soft

Breachable Floor
Floor
Breachable Ceiling
Ceiling

Vertical play is a fundamental aspect of Rainbow Six. One of the ways to take advantage of this is by knowing which floors and ceilings are breachable and bringing operators who can take advantage of this fact.

Sledge, for example, can use his hammer multiple times to create holes above a site, creating pressure towards the defenders as it adds a line-of-sight to be wary about. On the other hand, Buck can use his shotgun to create holes in the ceiling, creating the same pressure but from below.

Hatches can be Soft-breached

Hatch

While most breachable floors and ceilings can only be used to make peekholes, hatches are available at specific positions of certain maps. As attackers, this can provide an additional point of entry towards a site. As defenders, this can potentially be used as a way to flank attackers.

Reinforced Walls

Reinforced Wall
Most wooden walls can be reinforced with metal plates. Reinforced walls are bulletproof, and can only be penetrated by Operators with strong entry abilities such as Thermite.

Impenetrable Walls

Impenetrable Walls

These are any other kind of walls that can't be penetrated or destroyed by any means.

As Attackers

Destroy Using Gadgets and Abilities

Breached Reinforced Wall

The most effective way to mess up a defense is to find and open holes in their plan, literally. The strength of the defenders comes from being prepared to defend certain entrypoints and angles. Creating new line-of-sights and entrypoints will allow attackers to put the defenders in a state of panic or take them by surprise.

As Defenders

Reinforce Walls to Protect Site

Reinforce Walls

Reinforcing walls is very important as it limits the points of entry of the attacking team. Unless they have a hard-breacher, reinforced walls, like in the example image above, may force attackers to bottleneck at a single entrypoint, making them easier targets.

Reinforcing walls also decreases the chance of more line-of-sights opening up, making protecting the site a lot easier.

Destroy Soft Walls for Rotations

Rotation Example Map View

Game View

While it may seem counterintuitive at first, destroying walls inside the site you are protecting, some bomb sites may be too tight that you and your teammates could end up like fish in a barrel. Opening up rotations will allow you some breathing room in terms of movement. You can use rotations to get out of an area that has been overrun, for instance.

In the example images above, the two bomb sites that need protecting are divided by a wall. If the well is to be kept intact, you will need to split the team to protect both sites. However, if a rotation is opened up between the two sites, a single player in a good position can potentially guard both, allowing others a chance to move around and flank enemies.

As Both

Create Peek Holes to Surprise Opponents

Gadgets and abilities aside, the most basic yet effective tool in every operator's arsenal is the element of surprise. If you have gathered intel, whether through audio, drone, or teamcomms, that an enemy is on the other side of a wall, the best way to score easy kills is to take them by surprise by creating a line-of-sight that wasn't there previously.
