Complete the Steel Wind mission in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. Rescue the ambassador and clear floors with Blue and Red teams.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Blue Team: Proceed to the ladders at the NE corner of the embassy and ascend to the 2nd floor. Use the lockpick kit to open the door and eliminate the two guards in the north section of this floor. Continue south, clearing rooms until you secure the ambassador. Escort the ambassador into the hallway. Be aware of enemies descending the SE stairs from the 3rd floor. Eliminate the enemy on the west balcony in the main room. Ascend the SW staircase to the 3rd floor. Consult your map (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) to locate enemies. Advance through the east side of the 3rd floor, clearing rooms where enemies are typically found or have moved to the 2nd floor. After clearing the 3rd floor, descend using the NW staircase and await Bravo team at the door leading to the main hall. Eliminate the final guard in the main room, located on the landing of the curved staircase, before Bravo arrives. Escort the hostage back to EXT.
  2. 2
    Red Team: Wait for Alpha team outside the north door on the 1st floor. Alpha team enters and proceeds south, clearing the entire east side of the 1st floor, including rescuing the hostage. Hold position by the south door leading into the entrance hall for Bravo team. Eliminate the 1st floor guard in this room, using the doorway for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects), before Bravo arrives. Bravo team proceeds to EXT.

Order of Operations: Blue team clears the 2nd and 3rd floors, followed by Red team clearing the 1st floor. Red team eliminates their main hall guard first, then Blue team eliminates theirs. If you encounter difficulties, you can skip clearing this room and escort the hostages directly back to EXT, or use fragmentation grenades (frags) instead.

Tips
  • The sound of your shooting can stop enemy patrols (tangos).
  • If tangos enter the ambassador's room, they will execute him.
  • You do not have to kill every enemy, but clearing the 3rd floor and main room is more enjoyable.
  • Use the doorway for cover when engaging the 1st floor guard in the main room.
  • If you have trouble, you can skip clearing the main room and escort hostages directly to EXT.
  • Consider equipping fragmentation grenades (frags) as an alternative.
