Through out this page, you will see the basics of siege. Consisting of general gameplay, and more.
Siege at it's core is a 5v5 FPS game, one team attacks a bomb site consisting of two bombs, whilst the other defends these bombs till the timer runs out. There are many different maps and sites you can play, so you will have to learn them all. The first minutes of siege, you enter prep phase. This phase is designed to give defenders time to reinforce their site, and for attackers to drone the building to discover the obstacles ahead. (More on this later) Once the timer reaches 0, Action phase begins. Attackers have 3 mintues to plant the diffuser and protect it until it's timer reaches 0, or eliminate all defenders. However, on the defenders side of things, you must protect these bombs, either wait for the timer to reach 0, or eliminate all defenders. Each team selects one operator depending on what role they are currently playing. In total, 74 operatoers currently exist throughout both teams, each with unique gadgets. Each year, there are four seasons. Right now, Year 10 Season 3 is about to begin. Operation: High Stakes introduces a new Operator, Denari, a defender that adds more creativity to the game joins a private military force called Nighthaven, allied with Team Rainbow.
As an attacker, you have an arsenal of tools like grenades, flashbangs, claymores, EMP grenades, and more. You also have 2 drones, they are small manual drones that can silently roam the map, You are forced to use one during prep phase, but, if defenders don't destroy them (using weapons or other ways) you may re use the drone. Attackers can rappel along the building, moving vertically and horizontally.
Defenders are the opposite of attackers. They are desgined to keep them away from the sites. Utilites like impact grenades, barbed wire, Bulletproof cameras and more are usuable by defenders. (Note that attackers and defenders don't share Utilites) Instead of drones, defenders have access to cameras around the building. All maps contain atleast one camera outside as well. Defenders can place barricades on doors
