Summary
How to play Osa
Role: Universal
Osa can fulfill the role of support or entry fragger without problems. The choice will depend on the one hand on your style of play (more or less aggressive), and on the other hand on your situation.
In a coordinated team, Osa will shine more as Support assisting his team in pushes and various skirmishes. However, in Solo Queue we recommend that you try entry fragging if you feel that you cannot rely on your teammates.
Difficulty
Mean
Osa is fairly easy to pick up, but the use of her shield and the various choices you’ll have to make in a match make her more complex than you might think at first glance.
- Mechanically easy to use
- Is not vital to the success of the team
- Requires significant knowledge of cards and strategies
- Requires a good idea of the angles and size of its shields
- Good communication will be necessary to make the most of its capacity
What equipment to choose for Osa
Which main weapon to choose
Osa has two primary weapon choices, the PDW9and the 556XI. Both weapons are very good choices. the 556XI Inflicts heavier damage at the cost of a lower rate of fire and a smaller magazine. Moreover, the PDW9 also has more manageable recoil. In our opinion, the PDW9 is more versatile and will therefore be our choice, however this is more of a personal preference than a completely objective choice.

Which secondary weapon to choose
Osa only offers a secondary weapon which is the PMM. The weapon has excellent damage, but a small magazine. Unfortunately, not having access to other weapons, it will be necessary to be satisfied with it.

Which gadget to choose
Osa has access to two universal gadgets: the Claymore and the Smoke Grenade. Choosing the right gadget will largely depend on your playstyle, with both options being perfectly viable.
We will move towards the Smoke Grenades for their versatility and the assistance they provide to Osa as Entry Fragger or Support.

Single ability
the Talon-8 Shield is Osa’s unique ability in Rainbow Six Siege.
Talon-8 Shield
|
the Talon-8 Shield is sort of an upgraded version of Deployable Shields, which are a universal defender gadget.
This therefore makes it possible to create secure angles of attack for his team during the rounds.
- 2 shields are available each round
- The Talon-8 Shield is transparent, so you can see the action without taking risks
- Osa can use the shields to completely shield himself from incoming fire
- If Osa gets up with the shield, his legs are exposed
- Talon-8 Shields are deployable and can therefore protect various key points
- After being deployed, shields can be picked up by Osa
- Invulnerable to shots, they will still suffer bullet impacts and will therefore become more cloudy over time.
- Melee attacks instantly make the shield opaque
Cooperation with his team is essential for Osa. Indeed, his shields are almost useless for solo plays, but can reverse the outcome of a round if his teammates use them effectively.
