INTRODUCTION

While scrambling to prevent a deadly attack on Sin City, Rainbow unveils a shocking betrayal that could tear the team apart.

CHARACTERS

Team Rainbow

In Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2, you control an elite team of Rainbow operatives.

Bishop

Team Leader

You play Bishop, a battlefield veteran called back to service in a time of crisis.

Six

Rainbow Leader

The highest-ranking member of Rainbow, Six takes an active role in overseeing your mission.

2

3

Bravo Team

Though Bravo Team’s members often change, Bishop will rely heavily on two teammates and two support staff:

Jung Park

Electronics and Recon Specialist

Jung was trained in counterterrorism during his service with the Korean Army’s Special Forces. Despite his quiet nature, Jung’s exceptional computer skills make him a vital member of the ground team.

Michael Walter

Heavy Weapons and Demolition Expert

Mike has a special appreciation of Rainbow’s extensive armory, but he still prefers to deal with the more explosive variety. Mike has served with the Royal Marines as well as the SAS.

Support Staff

Accompanying you on missions and vital to your overall success are your two key support officers:

Sharon Judd

Information Officer

Sharon worked intelligence for years with the Israeli Mossad before joining Rainbow. She retrieves, analyzes, and provides critical mission data to Bravo from the helicopter.

Gary Kenyon

Chopper Pilot

As a veteran pilot of both the New Zealand and British Royal Air Forces, Gary’s flight skills are impressive. The team depends on Gary as he skillfully maneuvers them into terrorist hotspots.

SINGLE-PLAYER CONTROLS

Move/Crouch/Sprint

Move

You move your character using the W, S, A, and D keys.

Crouch

You can make your character stand or crouch by clicking the C key. This is important in improving your accuracy and in making you less of a target.

Sprint

Pressing and holding the Shift key will cause your character to sprint for a brief time. This is useful for moving quickly from cover to cover or avoiding grenades, but you will be unable to fire until you stop. You must regain your breath before sprinting again or your next run will be shorter.

Look/Zoom

Look

You look using the mouse, moving it in the direction you wish to look.

Zoom

Clicking the middle mouse button activates your weapon’s scope for more precise shots, allowing you to eliminate enemies partially hidden by cover.

Tactical Interface

Move-To

By aiming at a location and pressing the Space Bar, you have access to the most important tool in your arsenal, the Move-To order. With the press of one button, you not only send your team to the location indicated, but you have them perform the default action for that location:

•Ground/Walls: Move there.

•Door: Stack at the door.

•Computer: Hack the computer.

•Explosive: Disarm the explosive.

•Rappel Point: Set up for rappel.

•Ladder: Go to and climb the ladder.

•Fast Rope Point: Set up for fast rope.

•KO’d Teammate: Heal injured teammate.

Hold/Regroup

Pressing the left Alt key always orders your team to either Hold or Regroup back with you. This quick, easy function puts the team at your disposal as quickly as possible and allows you to adjust orders on the fly.

Tactical Interface

Once you send your team to an interactive location, the Tactical Interface icons appear on-screen, showing you which actions are now available for your team to perform. Press the V, B, or N key to order the team to perform a specific action.

Fire

Press the left mouse button to fire your weapon.

Use Gadget

Press the Q key to use a gadget. When using an explosive, press the Q key a second time to trigger the detonator.

Action

By pressing the Space Bar you can interact with certain objects, such as doors and rappel points. Knowing where you can interact with the environment may give you more options when storming a location.

Vision Mode/Vision Mode Menu

Vision Mode

•Night-Vision Goggles (NVG): With night vision goggles you can see better in darkness. Press the X key to activate your NVG.

•Thermal: Thermal goggles detect enemy heat signatures, allowing you to see through smoke and in darkness. You can also detect explosive traps more easily and see through walls of a certain thickness/type. Press the Z key to activate your Thermal Vision Mode.

Reload/Weapon Options

Reload

Press the R key to reload.

Weapon Options Menu

Certain situations call for specific weapon options. To access the Weapon Options menu, press and hold the R key and make your selection. Here are the available options for your weapon:

•Laser: Laser sights allow for better accuracy without relying on the scope.

•Sound Suppressor: Suppressors let you kill targets without alerting nearby enemies, but they also reduce the damage against enemies.

•Rate of Fire: Rate of fire lets you switch between single shot, three-round burst, and fully automatic fire. You can also change this anytime by pressing the . (Period) key.
