There is definitely a hierarchy of difficulty when examining the objectives inRainbow Six Extraction. Tagging a few nests and taking off is easy on any difficulty. But standing in a zone as enemies barrel down or withstanding the charge of a boss? Now that’s where the real danger is.

Unless the player is using Tachanka as an operator. In that case, that’s when the fun begins inRainbow Six Extraction. He can place a turret that he or his allies can use and make an elite target disappear with just a few seconds squeezing down the trigger.
Primary Weapon - AK-12
Usually a shotgun is preferred as a primary weapon but Tachanka doesn’t get access to one at any level. That’s no problem, Tachanka’s ability is a turret that deals damage from a range, so the primary weapon can mimic this ability well.

Players can argue whether or not the AK-12 is one of the best weapons in the game but there is no argument that it is the best weapon for Tachanka. With the highest damage, fire rate, mobility, and bullet capacity among his automatic weapons, it’s the gun to be used when enemies are starting to swarm.
Secondary Weapon - PMM
Although Tachanka shines brightest when the enemies are the fiercest, stealth is still an important part of the game for players that don’t want theiroperators to spend lengthy amounts of time healingback up. Most of the missions should be done quietly.
Tachanka is granted two guns, the PMM being the higher damage option with a lower clip. Clip size doesn’t matter when shooting quietly, so it’s the clear winner. Even with the silencer, it can perform a single hit kill on a weak spot at any range from the target,
Explosive Tech - Glue Grenade
The Glue Grenade is not all that useful for most operators but Tachanka, though he might be the only exception, is certainly the most significant exception. His turret has an ideal range to shoot at and keeping enemies in that range for as long as possible makes the ability lethal.

When the boss shows its face, throw a Glue Granade and then have either Tachanka or a teammate hop on the turret and unleash a stream of bullets. The elite won’t last long and gamers will get themselvesa lot of experience points in a short period of time.
Gear - Body Armor
Of course, not everything can go over ideally and Tachanka needs to prepare for attacks on multiple fronts. Bosses are accompanied by minions who may strike from the side or behind a mounted operator. Body Armor will reduce this damage taken.
Perhaps more importantly, it gives players a chance to go down once without getting knocked out of the fight. That’s two emergency uses out of one item, a great value and one that a non-stealthy unit like Tachanka can make good use of.
