The aforementioned three missions are different each time, as they are randomly selected from a list of thirteen different types. They range from finding and defusing an alien beacon to destroying elite Archaeans who are beginning to pose a little too much of a threat. One that is often discussed anyway is the mission called MIA – in other words: Missing in Action. When your Operator dies, it remains – swallowed by alien vegetation – in the level. It’s up to you to get him or her back, an intense operation where you can even use eyes in your back as a three-person team. So there’s really no shortage of variety, although it does start to feel a bit monotonous after a while. The approach is pretty much the same in most missions: you try to stay hidden from the enemy for as long as possible, after which you – after all, sooner or later you will be spotted – go guns blazing. Some players will get tired of this faster than others.Īn extra endgame mode – read here more about the Maelstrom Protocol, a mode where you’ll have to complete not three, but nine objectives per mission – and announced post-launch content should help. Whether all this is sufficient, the future will show. The social aspect also keeps you glued to your screen for a long time. At higher difficulty levels you will also find mutations, which add something extra to the gameplay. For example, all enemies may have so-called ‘blinding spores’ on their bodies, which can jump to your Operator if you get too close. Your teammates will then have to quickly blast the spores away from you before they explode and not only damage you, but also ruin your view. As you unlock more maps, you will encounter new enemies. Rainbow Six Extraction is anything but a ‘walk in the park’. One minute you think you’re doing the right thing, the next you’re surrounded by alien hordes and you have to fight for your life. In terms of difficulty, it is very similar to Rainbow Six Siege. If you came from Siege you will feel right at home, however Call of Duty players might have a more challenging experience due to the lack of player respawn.
I say relatively because this depends on your experience with these types of games. The missions start off “relatively” easy but gradually get a lot more difficult, until you have to use all your skills as a team to escape the danger zone alive. In teams of three, you will attempt to complete three missions on different maps, which vary from parasite-infested Liberty Island to a snow-covered scientific base that is somewhat reminiscent of John Carpenters The Thing. This is a Rainbow Six game, and just like Rainbow Six: Siege, the developers give us just enough story to add some depth to the shooting action. It’s not much more than ‘we are being attacked by aliens and have to investigate where they come from’, although you can find some depth in the Intel you unlock along the way. If you are looking for an in-depth story, this is not the game for you. Originally, Ubisoft had planned to call this title “Rainbow Six Quarantine”, however, you can probably see why they chose to go with Rainbow Six Extraction instead. With the global pandemic taking the front row for every topic of conversation, some of us want to forget real life for a while and blast apart some aliens, these creatures are called Archaeans. I teamed up with two of my buddies to take a closer look at this extraterrestrial phenomenon and find out why these beings are coming to our planet. Read on and join us on our alien adventure.
