==Biography==
Kessikbayev grew up in a military family in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. After his family emigrated to Russia shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kessikbayev followed in his father's footsteps and enrolled in the military, where his facility with technology landed him a spot in the coveted weapon testing brigade at Alabino firing range near Moscow.<ref>Fuze's In-game BIO > BACKGROUND section</ref>
+
Growing up in a military family in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Shuhrat Kessikbayev immigrated to Russia shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union. His parents encourage him and his brother to embrace all that was Russian, so it wasn't until his teens when he learned to embrace his Uzbek heritage. Kessikbayev followed in his father's footsteps and enrolled in the military. Showing an aptitude for science at an early age, the military honed his interest in mechanical engineering and trained him to be a mechanist.
  +
  +
Kessikbayev has applied these skills in numerous engineering projects which landed him a spot in the coveted weapon testing brigade at Alabino firing range near Moscow. Developing his own weapon and his ability to improvise in the field with scrap materials and minimal tools has made him a legend among his fellow recruits. This was one of the key reasons he became an asset to [[Rainbow]] Operations. During his time in the 27th Motor Rifle Brigade he excelled as a sharpshooter and has extensive weapon knowledge. Deployment within the [[Spetsnaz]] is confirmed, however, all operation details have remained classified. Kessikbayev is fluent in Uzbek, Russian, Ukrainian, and English. Kessikbayev has stated that he was engaged for two years but called the wedding off due to wanting to take a different path in life.<ref>Fuze's In-game BIO > BACKGROUND section</ref>

===Psychological Report===
  +
''To say that Specialist Shuhrat "Fuze" Kessikbayev is restrained does not give the full picture. I was reminded of my grandmother's phrase: "talking to him was like pulling teeth." When other operators referred to him as mysterious I thought they were joking. I wouldn't say that he's difficult. He's quite pleasant and hospitable. But he is... contained. It took some work but we finally managed to have a revealing conversation.''
  +
  +
''Kessikbayev is quiet except with Specialist [[Glaz|Timur "Glaz" Glazkov]]. When he does speak, people tend to hang off his every word. Field reports mention that Kessikbayev readily makes himself available in team planning but often falls into a cone of silence during operations. It's critical that he maintains communications with his team, otherwise there may be further altercations such as the one with Specialist [[Ying|Siu Mei "Ying" Lin]] regarding civilian casualties. This is doubly critical given some of our operators come from units with "zero casualty" rules.''
  +
  +
''It was necessary to address past reports about Kessikbayev's recklessness, so I asked him to describe an operation from his point of view. His objective, he explained, is to break down the defense as efficiently as possible, but insists he isn't careless. It's clear that his creative engineering skills are a critical asset. He's highly intelligent and calculating. While hard-hitting, Kessikbayev does possess good situational awareness. I suggested that he concentrate on improving this during future ops.''
  +
  +
''I was unable to ascertain any details about his brother who is allegedly MIA. That file remains classified. However, I did manage to get Kessikbayev to open up a bit about his personal life. He was engaged for two years but the wedding was called off after he decided it was "not the road to take." A proud Uzbek and a proud Russian, Kessikbayev said that growing up his parents encourage them to embrace all that was Russian, so it wasn't until his teens when he learned to embrace his Uzbek heritage. I asked him to elaborate on the experiences, but in his typical understated way he simply replied, "It was interesting."''

A Heavy Armored Operator, Fuze carries three APM-6 "Matryoshka" Cluster Charges capable of clearing rooms by deploying 5 sub-grenades through destructible structures such as walls, floors, and windows.
+
A Heavy Armored Operator, Fuze carries three APM-6 "Matryoshka" Cluster Charges capable of clearing rooms by deploying five sub-grenades through destructible structures such as walls, floors, and windows.
   
*Fuze's Cluster Charge is capable of being mounted on walls and floors, and when activated, injects 5 small explosive pellets through the structure and into the adjacent room. This allows him to easily take out groups of enemies and clear out rooms.
+
*The Cluster Charge can be deployed on destructible walls and floors. When activated, it launches five sub-grenades into a room.
  +
:*Fuze takes 1.6 seconds to deploy a Cluster Charge.
:*The 5 grenades are deployed in a line in front of the charge, going from right to left, before detonating in the order they are deployed in.
+
*These sub-grenades are launched in a line in front of the charge, going from right to left, before detonating in the order they were launched in.
:*Each of the pellets have an explosion radius of 4.2m. The explosion deals lethal damage to 2 and 3 armor operators at up to 1.2m, and lethal damage to 1 armor operators at up to 2m.<ref>[[Rainbow Six Siege patches/Patch 5.2]]</ref>
+
:*Each of the sub-grenades has an explosion radius of 4.2 meters. The explosion deals lethal damage to Medium and Heavy Armored Operators at up to 1.2 meters, and lethal damage to Light Armored Operators at up to 2 meters.<ref>[[Rainbow Six Siege patches/Patch 5.2]]</ref>
 
:*The physics of individual pellets use a precomputed trajectory.<ref>[[Rainbow Six Siege patches/Patch 2.3.0]]</ref>
 
:*The physics of individual pellets use a precomputed trajectory.<ref>[[Rainbow Six Siege patches/Patch 2.3.0]]</ref>
  +
:*Due to their trajectory, sub-grenades can bounce back near the Cluster Charge if used on a small or narrow room.
*The Cluster Charge's grenades can do damage through walls and can bounce back under barricades.
 
*Fuze's Cluster Charges can pierce through [[Castle|Castle's]] Armored Panels. Also, after the grenades are released, the cluster charge leaves behind a hole in the targeted surface, through which players can look and shoot.
+
*These Cluster Charges can pierce through [[Castle|Castle's]] Armored Panels. After the Cluster Charge is activated, it leaves a notable hole in the Panel where it was deployed (larger than those made by [[Glaz|Glaz's]] rifle), which anyone can see through.
  +
  +
===Synergies===
  +
*Due to his gadget being an electronic, Fuze works well with Attackers who help remove [[Mute|Mute's]] Signal Disruptors and [[Jäger|Jäger's]] Active Defense Systems, which would be [[IQ]], [[Twitch]], and [[Thatcher]].
  +
*As a fellow Attacker capable of sending their gadget through surfaces, [[Ying]] and her Candelas work well in correlation with Fuze.
   
 
===Counters===
 
===Counters===
  +
*Being a deployable gadget, the Cluster Charge is still susceptible to gunfire. Shooting an active Cluster Charge will destroy it, preventing any more sub-grenades from being deployed.
*The Cluster Charge are affected by [[Mute|Mute's]] Signal Disruptors.
 
  +
:*The gadget will also be destroyed if the surface it is on is destroyed.
*[[Jäger|Jäger's]] Active Defense Systems can intercept up to two grenades per cluster charge. Fuze carries a total of three cluster charges with each holding five, so at the worst, Fuze can still get at least three cluster grenades through.
 
  +
*As the Cluster Charge is a remote-controlled device, [[Mute|Mute's]] Signal Disruptors can disrupt it if either Fuze or the Cluster Charge are too close to their area of effect.
*As with all explosive damage, [[Rook]]'s armor plates reduces a cluster grenade's lethal effect to [[DBNO|injury]].
 
 
*[[Jäger|Jäger's]] Active Defense Systems can intercept up to two sub-grenades per Cluster Charge. Fuze carries a total of three cluster charges with each holding five, so at the worst, six of the fifteen sub-grenades will be destroyed.
*The Cluster Charge can be destroyed by gunfire or by the collapse of the structure it is mounted on. Defenders can destroy a barricade immediately after hearing a Cluster Charge being deployed or shoot the grenade tube after activation to prevent more grenades from ejecting.
 
  +
*[[Wamai|Wamai's]] Mag-Net, like the Active Defense Systems, can also intercept the Cluster Charges, but only up to five. However, because of how they work, they will only redirect rather than destroy them. 
  +
*Even when equipped with a Ballistic Shield, [[Oryx|Oryx's]] Remah Dash will knock Fuze down regardless, leaving him vulnerable until he gets back up.

First developed in the Ratnik experimental weaponry brigade, the APM-6 "Matryoshka" was Kessikbayev’s attempt to create a more powerful breach charge. It proved to be an effective means of clearing a room, dealing the most damage to hostiles while keeping the Operator relatively safe. The "Matryoshka" can be anchored either vertically or horizontally. Once deployed, the piston burrows through walls or floors, dispersing live cluster grenades while spinning to deal the most damage from any directions.

Evaluation Lead: Specialist Jordan "Thermite" Trace
  +

''I'll admit I'd already jumped on the device evaluations even before I received the official request. No surprise there, right? [[Mira]] always has the R&D lab running at full throttle. So when she asked me to look at Shuhrat's APM-6 Cluster Charge it took me no time at all to write up my report.''
  +
  +
''I was already familiar with the Matryoshka, having studied its trigger mechanism in relation to my Brimstone Charge. The mechanical assembly is modeled after aerial bomb fuzes when detonation is tied to a fuze with an integrated firing pin. It's less sophisticated than my Brimstone, but it doesn't need that to be effective.''
  +
  +
''Clearing rooms and flushing out defenders is its primary function and I'd say it operates as designed. It actually has a benefit in that some targets are terrified of the boom. Shuhrat obviously understands the importance of classical conditioning. I just wish it only affected the people he's going up against, but that's the problem, with high explosives - they don't discriminate.''
  +
  +
''This gadget is a beast. And that's something, coming from me.''

"Chaos is only an enemy if you're unable to adapt."
— Fuze


Shuhrat "Fuze" Kessikbayev (Russian: Шухрат Кессикбаев) is an Attacking Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

Biography

Growing up in a military family in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Shuhrat Kessikbayev immigrated to Russia shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union. His parents encourage him and his brother to embrace all that was Russian, so it wasn't until his teens when he learned to embrace his Uzbek heritage. Kessikbayev followed in his father's footsteps and enrolled in the military. Showing an aptitude for science at an early age, the military honed his interest in mechanical engineering and trained him to be a mechanist.

Kessikbayev has applied these skills in numerous engineering projects which landed him a spot in the coveted weapon testing brigade at Alabino firing range near Moscow. Developing his own weapon and his ability to improvise in the field with scrap materials and minimal tools has made him a legend among his fellow recruits. This was one of the key reasons he became an asset to Rainbow Operations. During his time in the 27th Motor Rifle Brigade he excelled as a sharpshooter and has extensive weapon knowledge. Deployment within the Spetsnaz is confirmed, however, all operation details have remained classified. Kessikbayev is fluent in Uzbek, Russian, Ukrainian, and English. Kessikbayev has stated that he was engaged for two years but called the wedding off due to wanting to take a different path in life.[1]

Psychological Profile

Kessikbayev is an expert tinkerer and a master craftsman, more at ease with the workings of machines than those of people. His gruff demeanor and curt speech should not be mistaken for misanthropy. He possesses a strong moral conviction.[2]

Psychological Report

To say that Specialist Shuhrat "Fuze" Kessikbayev is restrained does not give the full picture. I was reminded of my grandmother's phrase: "talking to him was like pulling teeth." When other operators referred to him as mysterious I thought they were joking. I wouldn't say that he's difficult. He's quite pleasant and hospitable. But he is... contained. It took some work but we finally managed to have a revealing conversation.

Kessikbayev is quiet except with Specialist Timur "Glaz" Glazkov. When he does speak, people tend to hang off his every word. Field reports mention that Kessikbayev readily makes himself available in team planning but often falls into a cone of silence during operations. It's critical that he maintains communications with his team, otherwise there may be further altercations such as the one with Specialist Siu Mei "Ying" Lin regarding civilian casualties. This is doubly critical given some of our operators come from units with "zero casualty" rules.

It was necessary to address past reports about Kessikbayev's recklessness, so I asked him to describe an operation from his point of view. His objective, he explained, is to break down the defense as efficiently as possible, but insists he isn't careless. It's clear that his creative engineering skills are a critical asset. He's highly intelligent and calculating. While hard-hitting, Kessikbayev does possess good situational awareness. I suggested that he concentrate on improving this during future ops.

I was unable to ascertain any details about his brother who is allegedly MIA. That file remains classified. However, I did manage to get Kessikbayev to open up a bit about his personal life. He was engaged for two years but the wedding was called off after he decided it was "not the road to take." A proud Uzbek and a proud Russian, Kessikbayev said that growing up his parents encourage them to embrace all that was Russian, so it wasn't until his teens when he learned to embrace his Uzbek heritage. I asked him to elaborate on the experiences, but in his typical understated way he simply replied, "It was interesting."

Gameplay Description

A Heavy Armored Operator, Fuze carries three APM-6 "Matryoshka" Cluster Charges capable of clearing rooms by deploying five sub-grenades through destructible structures such as walls, floors, and windows.

  • The Cluster Charge can be deployed on destructible walls and floors. When activated, it launches five sub-grenades into a room.
  • Fuze takes 1.6 seconds to deploy a Cluster Charge.
  • These sub-grenades are launched in a line in front of the charge, going from right to left, before detonating in the order they were launched in.
  • Each of the sub-grenades has an explosion radius of 4.2 meters. The explosion deals lethal damage to Medium and Heavy Armored Operators at up to 1.2 meters, and lethal damage to Light Armored Operators at up to 2 meters.[3]
  • The physics of individual pellets use a precomputed trajectory.[4]
  • Due to their trajectory, sub-grenades can bounce back near the Cluster Charge if used on a small or narrow room.
  • These Cluster Charges can pierce through Castle's Armored Panels. After the Cluster Charge is activated, it leaves a notable hole in the Panel where it was deployed (larger than those made by Glaz's rifle), which anyone can see through.

Synergies

  • Due to his gadget being an electronic, Fuze works well with Attackers who help remove Mute's Signal Disruptors and Jäger's Active Defense Systems, which would be IQ, Twitch, and Thatcher.
  • As a fellow Attacker capable of sending their gadget through surfaces, Ying and her Candelas work well in correlation with Fuze.

Counters

  • Being a deployable gadget, the Cluster Charge is still susceptible to gunfire. Shooting an active Cluster Charge will destroy it, preventing any more sub-grenades from being deployed.
  • The gadget will also be destroyed if the surface it is on is destroyed.
  • As the Cluster Charge is a remote-controlled device, Mute's Signal Disruptors can disrupt it if either Fuze or the Cluster Charge are too close to their area of effect.
  • Jäger's Active Defense Systems can intercept up to two sub-grenades per Cluster Charge. Fuze carries a total of three cluster charges with each holding five, so at the worst, six of the fifteen sub-grenades will be destroyed.
  • Wamai's Mag-Net, like the Active Defense Systems, can also intercept the Cluster Charges, but only up to five. However, because of how they work, they will only redirect rather than destroy them. 
  • Even when equipped with a Ballistic Shield, Oryx's Remah Dash will knock Fuze down regardless, leaving him vulnerable until he gets back up.

APM-6 "Matryoshka"

"Uses Cluster Charges that pierce and stick to walls, releasing sub-grenades on the opposing side"
— APM-6 "Matryoshka" Description


First developed by Fuze in the Ratnik experimental weaponry brigade, the APM-6 "Matryoshka" was Kessikbayev’s attempt to create a more powerful breach charge. It proved to be an effective means of clearing a room, dealing the most damage to hostiles while keeping the Operator relatively safe. The "Matryoshka" can be anchored either vertically or horizontally. Once deployed, the piston burrows through walls or floors, dispersing live cluster grenades while spinning to deal the most damage from any directions.

The "Matryoshka" is most useful in conditions where collateral damage is not a concern. Not recommended for hostage extractions, or in areas where there is a high risk of friendly fire.

Device Evaluation

Device: APM-6 Cluster Charge "Matryoshka"
Operator: Specialist Shuhrat "Fuze" Kessikbayev
Evaluation Lead: Specialist Jordan "Thermite" Trace

I'll admit I'd already jumped on the device evaluations even before I received the official request. No surprise there, right? Mira always has the R&D lab running at full throttle. So when she asked me to look at Shuhrat's APM-6 Cluster Charge it took me no time at all to write up my report.

I was already familiar with the Matryoshka, having studied its trigger mechanism in relation to my Brimstone Charge. The mechanical assembly is modeled after aerial bomb fuzes when detonation is tied to a fuze with an integrated firing pin. It's less sophisticated than my Brimstone, but it doesn't need that to be effective.

Clearing rooms and flushing out defenders is its primary function and I'd say it operates as designed. It actually has a benefit in that some targets are terrified of the boom. Shuhrat obviously understands the importance of classical conditioning. I just wish it only affected the people he's going up against, but that's the problem, with high explosives - they don't discriminate.

This gadget is a beast. And that's something, coming from me.

Trivia

  • Fuze was the only Spetsnaz Operator available in the closed beta.
  • Fuze is the only Spetsnaz Operator (excluding Finka) not born in Russia, but rather Uzbekistan.
  • The APM-6 "Matryoshka" is named after the Matryoshka doll, a Russian doll where a set wooden dolls of decreasing size are placed one inside another. This reflects how the cluster charge contains several smaller grenades in a larger casing.
  • Fuze wears a Gorka 4 in EMR pattern and a Fort Defender 2 Low Profile body armour with an SSO/SPOSN Avizent Smersh AK over it.
  • Fuze's default helmet is the SSSh-94 Sfera-C, a steel helmet used largely by Russian MVD and OMON forces during the Chechen Wars. Available as an alternate headgear piece is the Russian Maska-1 steel helmet without a visor.
  • Fuze's goggles and mask aren't actually military items, rather they're made for Motorcycles and part of a complete helmet set called the "Shark Raw".
