Gameplay

The gameplay in lockdown ditched the classic Rainbow Six, tactical gameplay and as a result, it made it more of a generic first person shooter.

The player controls Ding Chavez and leads a single squad through all of the missions. The player can issue orders to the squad, such as room clearing commands. The games combat is a lot more forgiving then the other games due to being able to take many shots before dying, enemies can also take many shots before dying. Health is unable to be restored.
