Tom Clancys Rainbow Six Extraction is a cooperative tactical shooter that pits squads of up to three operators against an evolving alien threat known as the Archaeans. Missions unfold across quarantined zones built from real-world locations turned into infected containment sites.

Success depends on careful planning, since operators who fail an objective can become trapped and require rescue in a later run. Progression unlocks new operators, gear, and technology, encouraging repeated missions with escalating difficulty and shifting enemy behavior.
