How many operators are in R6 in 2026

Ubisoft's operator page lists 78 operators. Each one has its own page with side, squad, specialties and star ratings for health, speed and difficulty, and that is the data used for every table below. Release seasons come from Ubisoft's seasons index and roadmap.

The split has stayed even every year: each year added as many attackers as defenders. Year 9 counts Striker and Sentry, who replaced Recruit with Operation New Blood. Some sites count 79 operators; Ubisoft's own list has 78 and no separate Recruit.

The 20 launch operators

These 20 shipped with the game on 1 December 2015, ten per side. Health/Speed shows Ubisoft's star ratings out of three.

R6 operators in release order: Year 1 to Year 4

From Year 1 to Year 4 most seasons brought two operators, one per side. Y2S2 Operation Health added none, and Y2S3 Blood Orchid and Y2S4 White Noise brought three each.

R6 accounts that already own Deimos

Each listing names the operators it has unlocked, so you can check for Year 9 operators like Deimos before you pay.

R6 operators in release order: Year 5 to Year 11

From Y5S3 Operation Shadow Legacy the pace dropped to one operator per season. Several seasons from Year 9 to Year 11 remastered an existing operator instead of adding one, so the list below has no entry for Y9S4, Y10S2, Y10S4 or Y11S2.

R6 operators by squad, health and speed

Counted from the 78 operator pages on 23 October 2026.

Ubisoft's page also tags nine operators as Starter Operators: Sledge, Thermite, Glaz and Striker on attack, and Smoke, Mute, Bandit, Kapkan and Sentry on defense.

Remasters and the next new R6 operators

Since Year 9 Ubisoft has spent some seasons rebuilding old operators instead of adding new ones. Dates are from the official roadmap and season pages.

• Year 11, Season 4: the roadmap says Season 4 will bring the final remaster. No new operator is listed for it, so the roster should stay at 78 for the rest of Year 11.
• Year 12: at the Gamescom Community Checkpoint on 30 August 2026 Ubisoft said Siege is going back to four new operators per year, and the roadmap adds that each season in Year 12 will bring a new operator. That would put the roster at 82 by the end of Year 12.
• Noor: Split Fire's defender counters shields with the Horus Lance Launcher, which fires five projectiles that pierce shields and destructible surfaces before erupting into flames. Full kit on his operator page.
