Capturing Elite enemies inRainbow Six Extractionis required to complete main objectives on all maps. These missions cycle through in a random order, however, so getting this objective is not guaranteed. It can also be a lot harder than just killing Elites, as the task involves some prep work before starting the capture, in order to have the best chance of success.

Before seeking out an Elite target, however, it’s highly recommended toclear the level of lower-tiered enemies–especially if playing on one of the harder difficulties. This will make the path to the capture area easier to reach, as players won’t be getting attacked by others. Having a good loadout for anOperator like Hibana inRainbow Six Extractioncan make light work of weaker enemies.
Once every other enemy has been taken out, it’s most likely that players will have already located the Elite in the area. If not, using equipment that scans an area is useful for pinpointing targets. If playing with a squad, theping feature inRainbow Six Extractioncan also be used to tell others where the Elite is. Once it’s found, shoot at it once to get its attention. It will start to chase the Operator.
Lure the Elite to the capture point marker on the HUD. This is a yellow icon that matches the symbol above the Elite. Players will know they have reached the right place if there is ayellow square on the ground with a white console at the back. As soon as the Elite is in the yellow square,activate the console to capture it. The objective will then clear, and players can either call for an extraction, or continue through the next airlock. Once the level is finished, that Operator will receive XP toward leveling up, and anyinjured Operators inRainbow Six Extractionwill get some health back.
If players are finding the capture mission too hard, they can enlist the help of their friends, even if they don’t have a copy of the game. TheBuddy Pass system inRainbow Six Extractionallows two other people to join in on the cooperative fun for a limited amount of time. Alternatively, players can use the Quickplay option to find a randomly selected group of people to attempt levels with. Remember that objectives change every time a new area is started, however, so a capture mission isn’t always guaranteed.
