The GSG 9 (Grenzschutzgruppe 9) is a German counter-terrorism unit represented in Rainbow Six Siege. Comprising operators like Blitz, IQ, and Jäger, the GSG 9 specializes in both offensive and defensive roles. Blitz is a shield-wielding attacker, providing a unique mobile cover option for the team. IQ, on the other hand, is an electronics detector, capable of identifying and locating enemy gadgets.

Jäger, a popular defender, focuses on gadget denial with his “Active Defense System” (ADS), which intercepts and destroys incoming projectiles. The GSG 9 operators collectively contribute to the game’s diverse tactical options, reflecting the real-world versatility of the German counter-terrorism unit.
