When Siege players choose their weapon skins, there are usually two considerations. Will it look fun or cool? Or will it help me blend into the surroundings so that enemies will have a harder time seeing me? In this article we will be taking a look at some of the best universal skins in the much beloved FPS game, Rainbow Six Siege.

15. Ruby

At first look, it looks bright and easy to see. I mean, red will always be easy to see right? Not quite, because of how they designed its patterns. It can blend well in surroundings with a lot of reddish wood like in Villa. Plus, it looks cool, just see the video below.

What makes Ruby great:

It looks cool and badass
Its color can help you see enemies better because it’ll usually be in contrast to theirs

How to get Ruby:

Steam R6 store (if you bought Siege on Steam) for around $2
Ubisoft store for around $2
