The Tormentor is one of the last Archæans that appears in the gameplay trailer of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction. They are Tier 4 Archæans that can bombard players with projectiles and have shape-shifting abilities, enabling them to turn into Sprawls – which makes them move more swiftly. They truly live up to their name, as they torment the player by liquifying itself and changing positions rapidly, and all through it, shooting a constant barrage of projectiles. So how does one take it down?
Kill the Tormentor in Rainbow Six Extraction
The Tormentor needs to be taken down quickly as it deals massive damage. It doesn’t seem to have any weak spots, and can’t be taken down from the back like the Smasher. The best way to defend yourself from their attacks is to ensure your blind spots are covered from different angles, and that they cannot creep up behind you to knock you down.
One thing you can do is to make sure to set up in an area without any of the black sludge on the floor that emanates from the ooze of the Parasite, as the Tormentor uses it to teleport their way around the terrain. The player can try to remove as much of it as they can from the map in order to have a fair chance of survival.
Mines and explosives are immensely helpful to kill them, but the most effective way to avoid the Tormentor’s fury is to stun them and attack the monster while they cannot move. This is only possible with certain operators like Gridlock who have the skills to slow down the creatures.
Above all, keep a steady head when the Tormentor tries to trick you and avoid your attacks by turning itself into liquid. It can be quite frustrating, but perseverance and resilience is the only thing that will help you win against the troublesome Tormentor.
