Ram is an Attacking Operator in Rainbow Six Siege, introduced in the Operation Heavy Mettle expansion. Her real name is Bo-Ram Choi, and she comes from Busan, South Korea. She grew up in orphanages after being left at a fire department as a baby. Her early life was tough, but it shaped her into someone who learned when to stay quiet and when to act.

She joined the Republic of Korea Armed Forces as soon as she was old enough. Rising quickly through the ranks, she became a Sergeant First Class. Ram was recruited into the 35th Commando Battalion—also known as the Tarantula Unit. This all-female special operations group focused on hostage rescue, building clearance, and VIP protection.

Ram stood out in her unit. She led complex missions and became a reliable senior member. Her leadership style is described as fiercely protective. She takes responsibility seriously, and her combat history backs that up.

Psychological Profile

Ram is calm under pressure. She handles high-stress situations without hesitation. That’s part of why she was recruited into Rainbow’s Redhammer squad.

Her teammates see her as focused and dependable. Thermite, Redhammer’s leader, calls her a natural leader. He also says she gives off a “big sister” vibe. Off the field, she often listens to music and draws with charcoal—hobbies that help her stay grounded.

Ram’s Loadout

Primary Weapons

  • R4-C Assault Rifle

  • LMG-E Light Machine Gun

Secondary Weapons

  • Mk1 9mm Handgun

  • ITA12S Shotgun

Gadgets

  • 3 Stun Grenades

  • 2 Smoke Grenades

Ram has a strong loadout for aggressive entry. The R4-C offers fast handling, while the LMG-E provides sustained fire. Her secondary choices give flexibility, depending on close-range or utility needs. Stun grenades help disrupt defenders. Smoke grenades can mask movement or confuse sightlines.

BU-GI Auto-Breacher

What It Does

Ram’s gadget is the BU-GI Auto-Breacher. It’s a bulletproof drone that destroys soft surfaces and gadgets as it moves forward. You can throw it, activate it remotely, and direct it straight, left, or right.

It shreds soft walls, barricades, and floors. This makes it great for vertical play. It can destroy defender gadgets, create sightlines, and clear paths for your team.

The BU-GI is loud, which can help mask other actions, like planting the defuser. It’s immune to electricity and even survives Aruni’s laser gates. But it does have weaknesses.

How It’s Used

The BU-GI is best used to open up vertical pressure. For example, sending it across a second-story floor can tear up the ceiling below. This gives attackers a clear view into defender positions.

It can also be used to destroy bulletproof gadgets like Maestro cams or deployable shields. Since it’s remote-controlled and moves automatically, you can use it while focusing on something else—freeing you up during pushes.

Weaknesses and Counters

The BU-GI is strong, but it isn’t invincible. It can be destroyed with explosives like C4 or impact grenades. Mute’s signal jammers can stop it from activating, although they won’t block it once it’s already moving.

There’s also a red canister on the back. If a defender shoots it, the BU-GI breaks. Smart defenders will look for this weak point. Azami’s barriers can also block the BU-GI’s path, but Ram can send in another one to break those as well.

Operator Synergies

Ram pairs well with other operators who control defender movement.

Fuze can force defenders out of safe spots. That creates opportunities for Ram to hit exposed areas with her BU-GI or push aggressively.

Gridlock and Nomad are good for covering Ram’s flanks. While she’s focused on breaching or vertical destruction, they can keep roamers away.

Lion is helpful for holding defenders still. That’s perfect for when Ram opens a hole and wants to land quick shots before enemies move.

Tactical Tips for Ram

ram-in-rainbow-six-siege-destruction-and-dominance

  • Use BU-GI to open vertical pressure above common anchor spots.

  • Send it down hallways to clear traps and force defenders out of position.

  • Pair BU-GI’s noise with a coordinated push—it can hide the sound of teammates moving or planting.

  • Watch out for defenders with explosives or shotguns. They can disable the BU-GI fast.

  • Don’t always use BU-GI right away. Sometimes waiting makes defenders let their guard down.

Design and Lore Details

ram-in-rainbow-six-siege-destruction-and-dominance

Ram wears a camo pattern called “Granite B,” used by the South Korean military. Her helmet has the word “천사” (meaning “angel”) written on it. This is a tribute to her friend Angel, who died during a mission involving Deimos, a recurring antagonist in Siege’s lore.

In the Operation Heavy Mettle cinematic, Ram destroys a helicopter—an action that mirrors a scene from Rainbow Six Vegas 2. That kind of callback ties her deeper into the game’s history.

She also shares a love of art with other Operators like Ela and Glaz. These creative details give her more personality than just being another soldier.

Final Thoughts

Ram in Rainbow Six Siege brings a mix of brute force and smart utility. Her BU-GI Auto-Breacher lets attackers shape the battlefield in new ways. She’s not just about making holes—she’s about controlling space, clearing defenses, and creating pressure from unexpected angles.

Ram rewards players who understand vertical gameplay and timing. She’s a strong pick for organized teams and solo players who want to open fights on their terms. Her quiet focus and battlefield control make her a unique and valuable Attacker.
