Rainbow Six Siege’s GIGN Unit Is Pretty Intense

Inside Rainbow’s third episode takes a look at French counter-terrorism unit, GIGN. Heavily armored, and armed with skills essential to the team’s survival.

Emmanuelle “Twitch” Pichon operates maneuvers a Shock drone capable of delivering electric probes to distract hostiles or disable nearby devices. Need to infiltrate a room, but it seems almost impossible? Watch Twitch prove you wrong.

Gilles “Montagne” Toure is equipped with a shield that can withstand hits from small firearms and close combat attacks. He’s the friend you send into the room ahead of everyone when you’re sure it’ll be raining bullets; he can take a few hits.

Have you taken a hit? Gustave Kateb’s got your back. Nicknamed “Doc,” he’s armed with a stim pistol capable of delivering a healing shot at close range. He’s more than ready to give you a second chance, don’t take it for granted.

You should probably seek out Julien “Rook” Nizan for some extra armor, so you don't keep getting shot down. Everyone’s operating on the principle that saving a life is more important than one’s own; all GIGN operators know this. “S’engager pour la vie” – Commit for life. That’s what you’re getting with GIGN.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is heading your way on October 13, 2015 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
