Bomb

For other versions of the gamemode in previous installments, see Bomb.

Bomb is a PVP gamemode featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile.

Overview[]

Two bombs have been placed in the objective location. They are typically placed in rooms next to each other or in close proximity, some sites however feature split Bomb Sites, in which the site will be split between floors. An example of this is in the Map Consulate, where the 4th site is 1F Tellers and B Archives. The Attackers must attempt to defuse one of the bombs by activating the defuser. At the start of each round, the defuser is carried by the player that volunteers to take possession of it. if the defuser has not been picked up at the end of the Planning Phase, it will be given to the Operator who prioritizes the defuser the most such as Thermite over Ash due to their respective roles. The defuser can be dropped by the holder or is automatically dropped if the holder is killed, at which point all other teammates may pick it up.

Once planted, the defuser will take 45 seconds (60 seconds in Terrorist Hunt) to disarm the bomb. The attackers win the round if they can defuse one of the two bombs, or if the enemy team is eliminated. The Defenders must prevent the Attackers from activating the defuser or disable the defuser that already has been activated. The Defenders can win by destroying the defuser after it has been planted, or alternatively, eliminating the Attackers before they're able to plant the defuser.

In Ranked planting the defuser takes 7.5 seconds, after which the 45 second timer starts, indicated by a circle where the round timer was. Disabling the defuser takes 7.5 seconds, effectively giving the Defenders 37.5 seconds after planting to secure the site.^[1] The planting and defusing times take 7 seconds, while the animation for each takes 0.5 seconds.

If the defuser is planted on an un-reinforced hatch, destroying the hatch can cause the defuser to fall out of the room, resulting in an instant loss for the Attackers.

The defuser must be picked up manually, instead of simply walking over the device to obtain it. A player must be within 1 meter or less of the defuser in order to pick it up. The player doesn't need to be looking at the defuser to pick it up, rather within the pickup radius.
