Overview

Welcome to r/Rainbow6 Discussion Series: The Operators! This series has been re-created to facilitate the gameplay, metagame, and strategy discussion that often gets buried or lost in the abundance of others posts.

The goal of this series is to not only give new players a primer on an operator, but also for mid level or competitive players a chance to share the knowledge that they have accrued in their experiences and maybe let people know something that they did not know before.

(Links to previous discussions)

About: Kapkan

The community has outlined a couple of things that they want to converse about with every operator, but feel free to branch out should you feel a piece of information warrants its own discussion.

The operator's primary or ideal role in the team. (DISCLAIMER: Operators can be played in a number of different ways. There is no single way to play an operator. This is probably the most subjective segment of the discussion series, and hopefully will spark debates or help us learn things we did not know before.)
The operator's gadget and how it will help the team achieve its goals. Please share any tidbits you may know to help expand discussion.
The operator's loadout, and how best to optimize it. This includes primaries, secondaries, and secondary gadgets.
What maps and game modes does this operator do well on?
What maps and game modes does this operator struggle with?
What teammates synergize well with this operator?
What opposing operators check or counter this operator?
What strategies have you adopted while playing this operator? What is something that a new player should know when playing this operator, or what is something you know that would help a veteran player take that next step?
What is your overall opinion of this operator? Where would you rank them among the other operators?

Revisited

Kapkan has long been a menace to the newest of the new players, quickly teaching them to use drones and check doorways, but has struggled in higher levels of play.

Here are changes that have come to his kit (Taken from the returning players guide)

Dust Line : Kapkan buff: Laser is harder to see and gadget can be placed at varying heights on windows/doors. Large spike protruding from the wall removed
Blood Orchid MSR : Kapkan buff: Trip laser gadget has its damage reduced from lethal; the laser is invisible.
Blood Orchid MSR: Kapkan becomes a 2 Speed 2 Armor operator.
Blood Orchid MSR: Number of gadgets increased to 5 (up from 3)

Redux Talking Points to consider:

Operator's current role
How has balance changes affected him/her (including non-specific rebalancing, like the pistols)
How viable is the Operator in ranked/casual/competitive/Proleague
The operators impact in the overall meta of the game
Up-to-Date videos discussing the operators current iteration
