An attacker that specializes in gathering intel on the enemy. Iana uses her Gemini Replicator to scout ahead for enemy positions and gadgets. Confusing and tricking enemies in the process. This 2-speed 2-armor operator comes into the game with a variety of weapon choices and gadgets that complement the use of her special gadget and contribute greatly to her team.

5. G36C with Red Dot, Suppressor, and Vertical Grip + Gonne-6 + Frag Grenades

Stealth and accuracy

The G36C is one of the most popular assault rifles, not just in Siege, but in other Ubisoft shooters as well. It has a fairly high damage and fast fire-rate, and its recoil pattern goes in a straight vertical way, making it quite easy to control. Add a vertical grip to that, and it would be a cinch to control it even with long sustained firing. 

And for long sustained firing, the suppressor adds a lot of benefits. The gun may suffer from damage reduction, but the benefit of not easily alerting your enemies to where you’re shooting them from, especially from medium to long range, outweighs the drawback in many instances. Besides, with the addition of the vertical grip, you’ll be shooting at your enemies with added accuracy which compensates for the damage reduction.

Excels in:

• Stealth
• Any range

4. ARX200 with 1.5x Scope, Compensator, and Vertical Grip + Gonne-6 + Frag Grenades

Do it fast when peeking around corners

The ARX200 would have been better than the G36C if it wasn’t for its small bullet capacity per magazine. With only 20 per mag, this gun isn’t really well suited for long sustained firing. But this gun excels in damage, which is a lot higher than the G36C, and the availability of the 1.5x helps players be more accurate with their shots. The ARX200’s recoil pattern isn’t straight forward so attaching a compensator which reduces the gun’s recoil diamond helps a lot in making long sustained firing more stable.

The Gonne-6 is a great addition to your arsenal. It can destroy unreinforced hatches which you can use for your Gemini Replicator’s entry. It can also destroy bullet proof gadgets such as Maestro’s evil eye, or bullet proof shields.

Excels in:

• Close to medium range

3. G36C with Red Dot, Compensator, and Angled Grip + Gonne-6 + Frag Grenades

Hit 'em fast before they recover

Playing Iana involves a lot of fast paced actions. Iana can only send her Gemini Replicator ahead for a short period of time, and during that time, your job is to locate the enemy. The angled grip is for when you detect an enemy near you. It will allow you to go into aim-down-sights (ads) position quickly, that means aiming at your enemies faster. Which is important when switching back from your Gemini Replicator. The compensator is also the best attachment for controlling the recoil of long sustained firing. Which is good for a gun like the G36C which has a 30-bullet capacity per mag.

And while the smoke grenade is very useful in many situations. For Iana who can detect enemy positions with her gadget, the frag grenades complement her special gadget a lot more. With good intel on enemy positioning, you can get a lot of kills with the frag grenade. Frag grenades can also be used as an area denier for a few seconds, and it’s also effective in flushing out enemies from their hiding spots.

• Speed
• Close to medium range

2. ARX200 with 1.5x Scope, Flash Hider, and Vertical Grip + Gonne-6 + Frag Grenades

Controlled aggression

With this loadout, you’re going for ARX200 strengths, which is high damage and inherent low recoil. While it's true that 20 bullets per magazine will run out fast in most encounters, the 1.5x scope with its added zoom, and flash hider with its added vertical recoil control, will help you make most of your shots count. The flash hider is the best muzzle attachment when it comes to controlling the recoil of the first few shots as well as the vertical weapon kick. This means that with this loadout, you’ll be focusing more on short bursts and accurate firing. 

Excels in:

• Close to medium range

1. G36C with Red Dot, Flash Hider, and Angled Grip + Gonne-6 + Frag Grenades

The faster you aim, the faster you can take down your enemies.

While it doesn’t have a scope with a higher zoom available to its attachments, the G36C still wins the top spot because of the availability of the angled grip, due to the nature of gameplay with Iana. Playing Iana involves a lot of sending your Gemini Replicator ahead and switching back to yourself. And because of that, being able to aim as fast as possible when the situation calls for it.

And with this loadout, you’re going with a flash hider, which will further decrease the G36C’s vertical recoil in order to compensate for some of the lost recoil benefit from replacing the vertical grip with an angled grip. Another great benefit of the flash hider is that it hides the muzzle flash of your gun, meaning your screen will be clearer when shooting, allowing you to see your targets better. It can also create some delay for your enemies to notice that they’re being shot at.

Excels in:

• Close to medium range
• Speed
