Rainbow Six Siege Elite Skins complete list

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege thrives on its consistent gunplay, laying the foundations for balanced, competitive multiplayer combat. Shaking weapon upgrades, unlockable abilities and other forms of vertical progression, players are rewarded with cosmetic in-game items instead.

While a majority of Rainbow Six Siege's cosmetic content can be earned in-game, Ubisoft also offers a range of premium paid "Elite Skins." Here's a complete breakdown all the Elite content available so far.

Elite skins explained

Elite sets offer a collection of distinct cosmetic items tied to a specific Operator, detached from the common themes across most other skins. Every Elite set follows a similar item template, packing a uniform, headgear, weapon skins and a weapon charm. These bundles also provide a level of customization not possible with traditional skins, including a gadget skin, golden pre-match Operator card and final victory pose.

These sets are obtainable via Rainbow Six Siege's dedicated "Shop" tab, tied exclusively to the game's premium currency, R6 Credits. Sets are priced at 1,800 R6 Credits each, while the shop-wide discount offered to Year 3 Pass holders grants a reduction to 1,620.

Complete list of Elite skins for Rainbow Six Siege

With new skins regularly introduced, we've compiled a list of all the Elite sets available so far. Going forward, this post will be updated with new additions.

Doc – Trench Medic

Doc's Elite set embraces the blue medic uniform of French First World War forces. Notable highlights of this 11-piece set include a patriotic "They Shall Not Pass" pipe-smoking pose and a mustache fit for the era.

Thatcher – Operation Nimrod

The Elite set for Thatcher departs from the line of throwback designs, embracing a more modern uniform for the Operator themed around the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege. This also serves as his first face reveal, after exclusively wearing a gas mask in the past.

Valkyrie – War Photographer '72

Valkyrie's Elite skin adds a range of cosmetic items based on her photography background. Alongside a retro military uniform, the skin switches out her shemagh in favor of a fabric headband.

Mute – F Squadron Elite

The Mute Elite set offers a throwback to the Second World War, under "F Squadron" of the UK Royal Air Force. This collection contains nine items, including a 1940s-era uniform, worn weapon skins and a unique victory animation based on his disruptive jammer gadget.

Sledge – L Detachment Elite

Sledge's Elite set falls into the SAS "L Detachment" – a squad of ex-regular SAS regiment soldiers which helped combat terrorism during the Second World War. This collection embraces the Operator's Scottish heritage, wrapped in tartan with a gadget inspired by the Scottish Highland Games. Ten items are up for grabs here, including a unique victory pose full of frantic hammer swinging.

Pulse – Lucky Seventh Elite

Pulse gets an Elite set referencing the 7th Armored Division of the U.S. Army, nicknamed the "Lucky Seventh" during WWII. Alongside a uniform suited to the period, this collection brings a new wave of military green weapons and gadgets to the game. During Pulse's unique victory pose, keep an eye out for a comb for that sweet mohawk.

Thermite – Vintage Bureau Elite

This Elite set packs an old-school FBI uniform, while also embracing his chemistry skills with the "Texan Dynamite" gadget skin. You'll also get a fiery victory pose with this set, which is sure to leave a burn on defeated foes.

Rook – Gendarmerie

As a member of the Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale (GIGN), Rook's Gendarmerie set brings a retro uniform from the tactical unit. This set's victory pose also highlights the Operator's heavy armor, as he pulls out bullets embedded in his vest.

Twitch – Maquis

The Maquis Elite set references the guerrilla French resistance fighters which rose during the Second World War. Twitch's drone also makes a return with a fresh design, which ties into her final victory animation.

Fuze – 2nd Shock Army

Fuze's Elite set takes inspiration from the "2nd Shock Army," which acts as the field army of the Soviet Union during the Second World War. His "Propaganda" victory pose is also one of the most unique, blasting music with an on-screen sepia filter.

Kapkan – Vympel

The Vympel set represents the special force group under the KGB, which organized a unit of specialized members for secretive missions. Kapkan's victory animation showcases these impressive combat skills with help of his trusty blade.

IQ – Reunification

IQ's reunification set departs from the tactical nature of many Elite variations, through a 1980's exercise theme. With a vibrant training outfit, neon guns and a gadget styled as a cassette player, you won't be missed on the battlefield.

Jäger – Flying Ace

Rainbow Six lore explores Jäger background as a pilot, which serves as the basis for his throwback Elite set. Decked in pilot uniform with bright red weapon skins, this collection takes inspiration from the German Air Force.

Blackbeard – Guerrilla

Blackbeard's Elite skin explores guerrilla warfare of the Vietnam war, draping the Operator in bullet belts and heavily camouflaged skins.

Ash – Sidewinder

Introduced alongside Operation Chimera, the Ash Sidewinder Elite skin offers a desert-themed design tied into the limited-time Outbreak event. This set was provided for free to all existing players before March 6, 2018, in response to the controversy surrounding Outbreak Packs. For newer players, the Sidewinder skin is available for standalone purchase.

Ash – Black Viper

The Black Viper Elite skin is an alternate configuration of the Sidewinder set, wrapped in a grey digital camo. This Elite set was released exclusively in the Outbreak Pack content pool, between March 6, 2018, and April 3, 2018. As a result, this skin is no longer accessible.
