- "I used to be undercover. I did time. I had to deal drugs. I even had to kill. And I was so good at it that, it got me a promotion."
— Bandit
Dominic "Bandit" Brunsmeier is a Defending Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.
Biography
Brunsmeier and his twin brother Cedrick joined the Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) the day after their eighteenth birthday. Stationed with border patrol he would spend his first year getting accustomed to following orders and filing paperwork.[1]
Psychological Profile
A prankster, Brunsmeier honors and humiliates his brother's memory each time he deploys the Crude Electrical Device (CED), the weapon responsible for Cedrick's early retirement from the BGS. Resourceful and adaptive, Brunsmeier relies on his cunning for survival.[2]
Gameplay Description
A Light Armored Operator, Bandit's unique gadgets are four Crude Electrical Devices. These devices send an electric charge through metallic gadgets and will damage those who come in contact.
- Bandit can place his Shock Wires on all metallic gadgets, which include Barbed Wire, Reinforced Walls, and Deployable Shields.
- A shocked gadget is visually identifiable by small electric arcs being emanated off of the surface of the gadget.
- Shock Wires are only capable of electrifying one metallic gadget at a time.
- It is possible to get a kill when you're dead if Bandit's gadget is still intact, similar to Kapkan's Entry Denial Devices and Frost's Welcome Mats.
- With a few exceptions, shocked objects destroy all electronic gadgets they come in contact with (except the Shock Wires themselves), regardless if they're friendly or enemy gadgets.
- Attacker Electronic Gadgets that can be destroyed by Shock Wires:
- Drones.
- Thermite's Exothermic Charges.
- Hibana's X-KAIROS pellets.
- Ash's Breaching Rounds.
- Defender Electronic Gadgets that can be destroyed by Shock Wires:
- Attackers touching a shocked object will take 3 damage roughly every third of a second. The aim punch effects of taking damage is amplified due to the frequency of the damage, causing significant visual disorientation.
- If enemies try to vault over an electrified Deployable Shield, they will suffer electrical damage.
- In the Preparation Phase, Shock Wires can prohibit access for Drones in a similar fashion to Mute's Signal Disruptors, as an electrified Barbed Wire can instantly destroy any Drone that comes into contact with it.
- If Mute is out of Signal Disruptors, place Shock Wires on reinforced walls that are not covered: when electrified, gadgets placed on them will be disabled instantly.
- Shock Wires are vulnerable to Thatcher's EMP Grenades.
- In Attacker teams using Thermite-Thatcher combos, one way to deny Thermite's breach while avoiding Thatcher's EMP grenades is to place it after Thermite starts placing his Exothermic Charge. As the Exothermic Charge takes time to deploy and breach, a quickly-placed Shock Wire can destroy it just before the wall is breached. Because the Shock Wire is not placed until the last second, there is a very small window of opportunity for an EMP Grenade to destroy them before it happens. This tactic is known as the "Bandit Trick".
- Because Reinforced Walls often come in groups and are opaque, Bandit needs information on where and when will Thermite deploy the Exothermic Charge. Valkyrie or Mira are very effective at gaining intel on enemy movements outside of the Reinforced Walls.
- If the trick fails to prevent the breach, Bandit will be caught in the explosion and will be the first target in Attackers' line of fire.
- Mixing Bandit's Shock Wire with Castle's Armor Panels can prove quite effective at slowing down or killing enemies if they come into contact with the electrified Panel.

— CED-1 (Crude Electrical Device) Description
The CED-1 is the result of Brunsmeier’s resourceful nature. The device was first created when he was cornered in an abandoned auto shop outside of Frankfurt. Using what was available to him, Brunsmeier fashioned a crude electrical device and was able to secure his defenses by electrifying a metallic door and shocking his assailants as they attempted to breach his stronghold. The device, though relatively low-tech, has followed Brunsmeier from GSG 9 to Team Rainbow, due to its consistent and effective performance in the field.

Trivia
- In the Closed Beta of the game, Bandit had an overall 52.3% win rating as a defender.
- Bandit was assigned to a joint task force aimed at quelling the growing threat of the Red Army Faction (RAF) in his second year with BGS. He was recruited by the GSG 9, spending four years as undercover in the Hannover Chapter of the Hells Angels.[3]
- In the Rainbow Six Siege Intro Video, an unnamed, maskless GSG 9 bearded male Operator can be seen as part of a profile dossier. This unnamed operator has been speculated to be Bandit, as the years 2006 and 2010 are marked as notable years on the Operator's dossier, which corresponds to dates in Bandit's own bio, where he went undercover in 2006 and departed from his undercover duties in 2010. In addition, after the year 2010, the word "Exits" can be seen, possibly referencing the year Bandit departed from his undercover duties.
