As you become a part of the REACT team in Rainbow Six Extraction, you'll be tasked with taking on the role of various Operators to go and assess the ongoing outbreak caused by the Chimera Parasite. Before you consider your REACT technology and reinforcements, you'll first be considering your weapons.

Each Operator has their own set of primary and secondary guns to unlock - with some having more to unlock than others, and some undeniably having better guns than others. Every Operator has one primary and secondary weapon to begin with, with further weapons being unlocked by using that Operator in missions and getting them to reach certain levels.

In this guide, we share every known weapon in Rainbow Six Extraction, who can unlock it, and what level they will unlock it at.
