'No, you cannot do the game 100% without killing' — Rainbow Six Tactics game director confirms players can't do a complete no-kill playthrough since some missions require players to kill enemies that are out of range for non-lethal takedowns
Rainbow Six Tactics game director Martial Potron has confirmed players won't be able to achieve a 100% non-lethal playthrough.
Ubisoft has confirmed that players cannot complete Rainbow Six Tactics without killing any enemies. Game director Martial Potron stated that "No, you cannot do the game 100% without killing". While the vast majority of missions strongly incentivize players to arrest enemies non-lethally to gather valuable intel, there are select missions where taking out targets non-lethally isn't possible.
These instances occur when enemies are positioned out of range for non-lethal takedowns. Potron elaborated that "we don't have missions where we force you to kill anyone. Most of the time, in fact, it's valued to arrest people to subdue enemies". However, he admitted that there are a few missions where reaching enemies is simply not feasible, such as in a Venice map bisected by a river with enemies on one side.
Despite these exceptions, Potron emphasized that players are strongly incentivized to avoid killing enemies whenever possible as it yields substantial intel rewards. Rainbow Six Tactics, a turn-based tactics spin-off of the popular Rainbow Six Siege, is set to launch in 2027 across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
