Complete the Cold Thunder mission in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege by sniping enemies and rescuing hostages with specific team strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Blue Team: Move forward until the forest path opens. Snipe 1-2 patrols on the NE side of the house. Kill the guard on the 2nd floor balcony when he appears. Continue forward and look north to take down a patrol and 2 stationary guards by the camp. Head to the south part of the shed and snipe the remaining guards outside the building. Hold position.
  2. 2
    Move west to the SW corner of the stone wall, opposite the basement stairs. Use the HB Sensor (a device that detects nearby enemies) to monitor the 2 front door guards. When they are walking away, eliminate them one by one. Hold position.
  3. 3
    Charlie: Carefully approach the basement stairs and use the HB Sensor to detect the guard. You can use flashbangs (explosive devices that temporarily blind enemies) on the cellar before securing the hostage. Hold position by the hostage.
  4. 4
    Delta: Escort the hostage to EXT (exterior extraction point).
  5. 5
    Red Team: Follow Blue Team down the path and wait as the path opens.
  6. 6
    Alpha: Head to the north entrance of the building but do not enter yet. Wait for Bravo Team outside.
  7. 7
    Bravo: Clear the 2 guards on the 1st floor. Cautiously head upstairs, watching for patrols. Kill the 2 remaining guards in different rooms by sidestepping and using the door frame for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects). Hold position by the hostage.
  8. 8
    Delta: Escort the hostage to EXT.

Order of Operations: Snipe all enemies as Blue Team first. Then, move to Bravo and kill the front door guards. Red Team then secures the house. Charlie and Blue Team rescue the last hostage. Delta Team escorts everyone to EXT.

Tips
  • You cannot use flashbangs on the first hostage you reach, as this will alert the other hostage guard, unless you rescue both at the same time.
  • Consider a sniping team and a stealth team for this mission.
