How to kill protean agents

Protean Agents are the most powerful and menacing enemies in all of Rainbow Six Extraction. In essence, they are creatures that emulate the game’s operators, copying their abilities.

Arguably the Proteans are clones of our agents. For example, the Smoke Protean drops poison gas bombs, but there are other types that have the same abilities as our heroes.

It must be said that the battles against the Protean are very, very difficult. These are located in exclusive alien zones, which you can only access through portals.

How to find the portal to these areas? Well, for this you have to reach the third and last area of ​​a stage . If you manage to defeat him you will get juicy rewards and a lot of XP, but be careful because it is a great risk.

That is, it is not mandatory to access the Protean area to complete a mission. Of course, if you do not fight him, you will not be able to get the rewards and equipment per objective.

Are you brave enough? Then go to the portal of the level you are in, and you will be teleported to an alien zone. Prepare for the fight.

The battle against Agent Protean has two phases, which are interspersed. First, you will have to clear the stage of enemies, and then attack the Protean, which will protect itself with its minions.

With this in mind, you should know that attacking the Protean is just as important as blocking it . These are the best tips for the battle, so pay close attention.

Tips for attack operators

• Tachanka is one of the best Operators to take on the Protean. The reason is its powerful turrets, which will grind the Protean to a pulp while locked.
• Hibana is also highly recommended for this match. This agent can lay mines and throw sticky grenades, which will do a lot of damage to the Protean while it is distracted or blocked.
• Another very good option is smoke grenades. When the Protean is locked or distracted, you can throw these grenades at it that deal damage over time. Poison gas grenades are also recommended.

Tips for Lock Operators

• To slow down the Protean’s movement, use Glue Grenades or Proximity Mines on Agent Ela. This way you can stun him and shoot him while he staggers.
• The Gridlock agent uses specialized ground traps that slow targets caught in the blast. This is perfect for distracting the Protean.
• Alibi is another good option to block the Protean, as it can spawn Decoys. This distracts and pulls enemies to the point you want. It is recommended to combine it with other blocking agents and deal damage with attack operators.

Basically, to fight the Protean agent it is important that you have attack and block operators. Detection and scanning agents are useless.

It is also recommended that you take Doc, Finka or Rook in your party (one of them), as they will give you support for the battle and healing. If you follow our advice, the battle against the Protean is a piece of cake.
