Leveling up in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, also known as increasing your Clearance Level (CL), is crucial for unlocking game modes, operators, and other in-game content. This guide outlines the most efficient strategies to gain XP and progress through the game.

Understanding Clearance Levels and Progression

Clearance Level (CL) is your overall progression in Rainbow Six Siege. As you gain XP, your CL increases, unlocking various features and content. The progression system is designed to guide new players through the game's mechanics.

Key Clearance Level unlocks include:

  • CL 2: Enlisted mode, Attack & Defense tutorials.
  • CL 3: Quick Match mode, Shooting Range practice.
  • CL 5: Dual Front mode, Landmark Drill mode.
  • CL 7: Deathmatch mode.
  • CL 8: Iana operator.
  • CL 10: Target Drill practice.
  • CL 14: Kaid operator.
  • CL 16: Finka operator.
  • CL 18: Thorn operator, Field Training practice.
  • CL 20: Unranked mode (or Standard Matches), Operator Specialties practice.
  • CL 50: Ranked mode.

    • Up to CL 100, each level requires more experience than the previous one. After reaching CL 100, each subsequent level requires a consistent amount of XP, estimated by the community to be around 45,000 XP.

    Optimal Game Modes for XP
