Monika "I.Q." Weiss is an Attacking Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. She features a low armor rating but features high mobility, having the ability to use the RED Mk III “Spectre” which can locate any electronic device in the immediate vicinity.

Background

Weiss developed a knack for electrical engineering early in life. At sixteen, she completed her first internship with a local tech company. She would continue her education at MIT and CalTech in the United States. After university, she traveled for a year before dedicating her life to a new challenge, the Bundespolizei (BPOL). Weiss thrived in her new environment and after two years with the BPOL, she was recruited by GSG-9. A brilliant overachiever and a fast learner, Monika Weiss is a natural at almost everything she tries. With an Ivy League education in electrical engineering and service in GSG-9's technical testing and airborne units, she uses a device which detects electronic traps and gadgets at a distance.

Gameplay Description

IQ can detect any electronics, meaning she can easily avoid enemy traps. Since she can also carry a handgun while manipulating the RED Mk III “Spectre”, it is a good idea to shoot any devices that appear on. Pay attention though, as some friendly devices like breach charges or drones can also be seen.
IQ's gadget is very useful for disabling Signal Disruptors through barricades in order to let your teammates place breach charges freely. The "Spectre" can also detect gadgets like Pulse's Cardiac Sensor, use it to avoid being surprised.
IQ can detect the location of the bomb in Bomb Defusal, Nitro Cells, Mute's Signal Disruptors, Kapkan's traps, Jäger's ADS, Bandit's Shock Wires, Pulse's Cardiac Sensor, Blitz's shield, Drones, and Bombers in Terrorist Hunt.
IQ's electronic scanner provides limited vision in smoke, only able to identify silhouettes of the environment and enemies.

Loadout

The advent of complex electronics on battlefields has created a pressing need for more advanced types of portable, ground-based sensors. Inspired by Forward Looking Infrared technology, the RED Mk III “Spectre” displays any active electronic components in the immediate vicinity of the user, from IEDs to various types of specialized military gear.

Weiss designed the prototype for the RED Mk I while a PhD candidate at CalTech. She has maintained a firm hand in monitoring the subsequent models of the device, as dictated in her licensing agreement with the manufacturer.
