Doc's Operator Video at 8:42

Gustave "Doc" Kateb is a Defending Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. He features a high armor rating but has low mobility and has the MPD-0 Stim Pistol as his unique ability, capable of reviving himself or teammates from a distance when an operator is down.

Biography

Kateb grew up in an affluent family, in Paris’ 16th arrondissement. At twenty, he abandoned a potentially prominent private medical practice in favor of a career with the French Defense Health Service.

Gustave Kateb is cut from a rare cloth: a genuine altruist, a true believer in making the world a safer place for his fellow man. A volunteer for Doctors Without Borders and medical officer for the Brigade des Forces Speciales Terre, he is a proficient field medic who carries a Stim Pistol allowing him to revive downed teammates from a distance.

Gameplay Description

It is best to stick to the team when playing Doc. This way it is easier to quickly revive fallen teammates before they get killed.

Doc can also be a very efficient operator in offense, but you have to always stay close to cover. If you go into DBNO (Down But Not Out), make sure to quickly crawl into cover to avoid getting shot again, then perform a Self-Revive with the Stim Pistol - you'll be able to go back into action right away.

Doc is a very good complementary operator to Rook: when teammates wear Rook's armor plates, their chances of going into DBNO and not dying when shot are increased, so Doc has to be on the lookout to revive his downed teammates and extend their playing time.^[1]

It is possible to revive DBNO enemies with the Stim Pistol.

Reviving teammates with Doc's Stim Pistol restores 75 points of health rather than the normal 25 or 50 points. As such, it can be a viable tactic to commit slight friendly fire on heavily injured teammates and then revive them in order to restore a large portion of health.

Attackers should note of Doc's location as it can be easy to overlook him once he had been put in a DBNO state, which allows him to easily flank and dispatch enemies after reviving himself.

While careful close range medical care is obviously preferable in case of a major combat injury, fast-paced real world operations require a more flexible approach to treating field casualties. The reviving jolt that Doc administers with expert marksmanship can often spell the difference between mission success and failure when each second is precious.
