What equipment to choose for Ela
Which main weapon to choose
Ela has access to two main weapons, the Scorpion EVO 3 A1 and the FO-12.
Shotguns are not very reliable weapons despite the potential power of the FO-12the Scorpion EVO wins for Ela.
the Scorpion EVO is incredibly powerful, but its recoil will force you to stay in close range. The Ccompensator is the only way to be able to control the weapon at all.
The PVertical anointed it is the best option to further compensate for the weapon’s recoil. Finally the Reflex viewfinder will provide a boost during medium and close range combat.

Which secondary weapon to choose
Ela offers only one secondary weapon: the RG15.
the RG15 is a very reliable gun that has a high ammo count, but fairly low damage per bullet. The RG15 is equipped by default with a single sight. the Muzzle brake is excellent on the weapon. As for the Laser, it will mainly depend on your use of the gun. In short, if you tend to shoot a lot from the hip, install one, otherwise it is better to skip it.

Which gadget to choose
Ela has access to two universal gadgets: the Barbed wire and the Deployable Shield.
For Ela, the best choice will be Barbed Wire. This is because barbed wire slows down attackers, which can be a good synergy with Grzmot mines by making it harder for the hit opponent to get to safety.

Single ability
The Grzmot Mines are Ela’s unique ability in Rainbow Six Siege.
Grzmot mine |
Mines are throwing traps that stick to all surfaces (walls, ceilings, and floors) and trigger automatically when opponents approach.
- A Grzmot mine takes a second to arm
- The range of the mines is about 4 meters
- An attacker within range but not within line of sight of the mine will not trigger it
- Mines have an effective blast range of 6 meters, impacting all operators, enemies and allies alike
- Mines inflict no damage, but cause temporary visual and audio disturbances for agents hit, as well as decreased control sensitivity for the duration of the effect.
- Concussion lasts five seconds and also prevents running
- Touching an agent will interrupt their action in court
The Grzmot Mines fulfill several roles. They can indeed be used to collect information through the noise of the explosion, even if this is their secondary use. Indeed they are much more useful for controlling and disrupting opponents.
The most common use will be to overuse it to push attackers into the five second concussion window.
