Rainbow Six Siege Skopós Guide: Loadout, Abilities & Counters

Skopós’ Loadout

Skopós’ loadout includes the PCX-33 assault rifle as her primary weapon and the P229 as her secondary. She also has access to gadget items like Impact Grenades and Proximity Alarms.

Skopós’ Unique Ability: V10 Pantheon Shells

Skopós’ unique ability consists of two V10 Pantheon Shells, named Talos and Colossus. These humanoid robots, or Shells, can be controlled and swapped between by Skopós during gameplay. Each Shell serves a different function, with one acting like an operator and the other like a gadget.

The active Shell can use weapons, share equipment with Skopós, and roam the map to provide team information. It is undetectable by IQ’s scanner and immune to EMPs. The inactive Shell deploys a bulletproof barrier but can be vulnerable to certain explosives. Additionally, the inactive Shell can function as a camera and teleport Skopós to different locations on the map.

How To Use Skopós

Skopós can be used in a variety of ways, from anchoring with the inactive Shell to roaming with the active Shell. Utilizing her Shells opens up endless tactical possibilities.

If used as an anchor, Skopós can block entrances with the inactive Shell and gather intel using its camera. When using the active Shell to roam, players can flank enemies and gather crucial information about their movements.

Which Operators Can Counter Skopós

While Skopós may seem formidable, certain operators can counter her unique ability effectively:

  • IQ: IQ can detect Skopós when switching between Shells, making it easier to locate her.
  • Thatcher: Thatcher’s EMPs can disable Skopós and prevent her from using her Shells.
  • Dokkaebi: Dokkaebi can disconnect Skopós from her inactive Shell, disrupting her abilities.
  • Brava: Brava can overheat the inactive Shell with her drone, forcing Skopós to act quickly.
  • Nomad: Nomad’s Airjabs can be strategically used to counter Skopós’s movements and tactics.

Skopós and her V10 Pantheon Shells introduce new dynamics and strategies to Rainbow Six Siege. Players can expect an exciting gameplay experience when Operation Twin Shells launches on September 10.
