Navigate the tricky 'Deep Magic' mission in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. Learn the Elite difficulty challenges, exploit a key glitch, and coordinate your teams for success.
Alright, so 'Deep Magic' on Elite difficulty is where things get spicy. The long hallways and open spaces make patrols super unpredictable, and there's even a glitch you'll need to use to your advantage. Remember, recon is still key here, and you'll be working with Lofquist and Sweeney.
Heads up: My older guide for Rogue Spear: Urban Operations has some solid plans for lower difficulties, but for this one, we're focusing on the Elite challenge. I remember trying flashbangs to get to the office before finding the glitch, and while they worked, they also alerted a guard to the staircase, blocking my exit. So, let's use the exploit!
Gear Check: You'll want the MP5SD5, HK .45 Mark-SD, a Lockpick Kit, and an HB Sensor.

Blue Team: Your first objective is to get to the bottom of the elevator shaft. Hang out in there and wait for the guard at the desk to start his patrol. Don't chill right by the door, though – it has a window, and they can spot you. Once both guards on this floor are patrolling away from the door, quickly pick the lock and make a dash for the security console. You can leave the elevator shaft door open, but make sure to close the security office door behind you. Deactivate the security systems here and then wait for Bravo Team.

Bravo Team: Wait for the right moment, then make a run for the elevator shaft. This time, you can leave the security door open as well.

Red Team: Head down the stairs until you reach the floor with Brightling's office. Hold position in here and wait for Alpha Team. You'll notice one of the balcony guards seems to be posted at the west end of the hallway, keeping a constant eye on your door. Here's the glitch: the open door is actually blocking his line of sight, making him effectively ignore you! Wait for the other patrol to move west into the lobby, then sprint out and head south down the hallway. Slow your pace to a walk and close the doors leading to the elevators. This gives you a clear path to the main office, so you can download the files without any issues. Hold position in the office for Charlie Team.

Alpha Team: Wait for the signal and then proceed to download the files.

Charlie Team: Once you've got the files, head back to EXT. Make sure the north patrol is heading towards the lobby so they don't spot you on your way out.
Order of Operations Summary: Blue deactivates security, then Alpha and Red download files. Bravo sends Blue back, and Charlie sends Red to EXT. Keep an eye on Lofquist – she has the lowest stealth rating, so consider swapping her out if she's constantly alerting guards.
