Today, Ubisoft released Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege's time-limited game mode Doktor's Curse. Although Doktor's Curse is nothing new, fans still get excited with it: this is one of the most awaited time-limited events of the year.
Here's everything you need to know about Doktor's Curse!
What is Doktor's Curse?
Doktor’s Curse is a Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege time-limited game mode to celebrate the arrival of Halloween. It’s a 5v5 hide-and-seek game mode which is different to any other playlist as players can’t use guns. Instead, players can use adapted versions of the operator gadgets and other abilities.
In Doktor’s Curse, the monsters (defenders) must run away from the hunters (attackers). Generally, the monsters are trap operators who can use their gadgets to slow down and even kill the hunters. Meanwhile, the hunters are attackers whose devices are useful when it comes to track and find the enemy’s location.
However, both monsters and attackers have unique abilities. While the monsters can temporarily turn themselves invisible while boosting their speed, the attackers always run around the map holding a sledgehammer that they use to kill the monsters.
Overall, Doktor’s Curse offers a unique Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege experience, hence why so many players love the game mode.
How to play Doktor's Curse?
In Doktor’s Curse, the hunters must kill all of the monsters before the end of the round. If they succeed, they win the round. If not, the monsters win the round. After the first two rounds, monsters and hunters switch sides. The first team to win three rounds, wins the match!
Here are some tips to get better in Doktor’s Curse:
Monsters, move smartly!
If you're a monster, you must know how to move around the map.
Doktor's Curse unique version of Theme Park is based on its old looks. Certainly, you will feel small differences to the map you play on Ranked!
Learning how to move around the map is important, as well as using your unique abilities. Every monster can turn invisible three times in a single round, an ability that comes in handy when the hunters are close.
Use trap operators
If you're a monster, trap operators are your best allies. Operators like Kapkan, Frost, and Lesion can hurt and slow down the hunters, which makes the difference between a loss and a win.
Use anti-roamer attackers
Meanwhile, if you're a hunter, anti-roamer operators will make your job easier. Operators like Jackal and Lion are useful and will help you locate the monsters on the map.
