Enemy Weak Spot Guide

In Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction, you are thrown into a dark and dangerous world ravaged by an alien invasion. These aliens are known as Archaeans and during the game you will encounter different species of them. Nearly all of which has a weak spot which you can target to take them down quicker and more efficiently. This Enemy Weak Spot Guide will tell where you need to target each of the different species of Archaeans you encounter.

Although you can still damage all the Archaean species by shooting them in their carapace, you will deal substantially more damage if you target their weak spot, which will often be indicated by a red tint on part of the alien's body.
