Masaru Enatsu (Japanese: 江夏 優, Enatsu Masaru), codenamed Echo, is a REACT Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction.
He was introduced on August 11, 2022 as part of the Eclipse Crisis Event and is unlocked by default.
Biography[]
Driven to optimize his unconventional tactics and operational efficiency, Echo can respond to threats immediately and effectively. Even outside of incursions, his technical skills in robotics can be a boon to REACT’s R&D and specialized UAV fleet. In the field, his off-the-cuff thinking can increase a squad’s effectiveness at gathering intel.
Psychological Profile[]
Enatsu is dedicated to the point of obsession. He has few interests outside of "... improving operational efficiency". He freely admits that most of the time he'd rather spend time with his UAVs than people.
Enatsu credits Operator J. Estrada for helping him be more comfortable with "switching off". Defining "switching off" as "psychological detachment to aid mental recovery": Enatsu has formed a rapport with some Operators which has helped him in this regard.

Echo's unique gadget is a hovering drone called Yokai, which can fly around the area as well as emit ultrasonic bursts that can stun enemies
- Echo spawns carrying one Yokai drone. Echo deploys the Yokai drone by throwing it out.
- The Yokai has two modes of operation: a ground mode where it can move horizontally in all four directions and cannot fire ultrasonic bursts, and a flying mode where it can fire ultrasonic bursts and hover around in the air.
- The Yokai starts in the hover mode when deployed.
- Echo scan and tag enemies with the Yokai drone.
- On the ground, the Yokai have the ability to launch itself vertically upwards.
- The Yokai has no notable cooldown between changing between modes.
- On the ground, the camera on the Yokai drones can pan up to 40 degrees upwards, but not downwards.
- On the ground, the Yokai have the ability to launch itself vertically upwards.
- The Yokai has up to two ultrasonic charges in reserve (three if the Advancement "Sonic Reload" is achieve.).
- After firing an ultrasonic burst, the Yokai recharges one charge every 15 seconds (all three if the Advancement "Sonic Reload" is achieve.).
- Firing an ultrasonic burst fires a small sphere-like projectile from the Yokai towards the aimed direction. The blast has a small area of effect and can disorient multiple foes. The blast can travel through holes big enough, such as melee holes but not bullet holes.
- The blasts' effective range is 15 meters.
- Although ultrasonic blasts appear to have travel time, they actually travel instantaneously.
- When a Archæans are lured by the Sonic Burst, they have little blue particles floating around it.
