Home / Hot Games / Rainbow Six Siege X / Operators / Thunderbird

Thunderbird is a Defender operator in Rainbow Six Siege X, filed by the publisher under the specialties SUPPORT. This page records the unique ability, the loadout and the record fields the publisher publishes for the operator, all read on October 12, 2026.

Where this comes from: the publisher's own page for Thunderbird, read October 12, 2026. The record fields, the ratings and the loadout are the publisher's. The prose on this page is ours: the ability is described here in our own words rather than reproduced, and the written biography and psychological report on the source page are not copied at all.

Illustration of a female operator in a black flight helmet and green flight jacket with red lining, a healing station device dropped open on the floor beside her — Original illustrationOur own composition of the operator, drawn from the character art the publisher publishes for her: the black flight helmet with its large clear visor and ear cups, the three black lines marked on her chin, the dark green flight jacket with its red lining and red tassels, the name tape across the chest, the Canadian flag patch and the red air force patch on the left upper arm, the black plate carrier under the jacket, the red-and-grey stripes on the cuffs and the brown gloves. The healing station on the floor and the room are our own scene rather than a location in the game. This is drawn artwork, not a screenshot of the actual game, and not a photograph of a real person.

The Unique Ability

KÓNA STATION is this operator's unique ability. What it does:

Thunderbird's Kóna Station sits on the ground and acts on anyone who approaches it, restoring health to an injured operator or bringing a downed one back up.

Loadout

The publisher lists the operator's weapons and gadgets as four groups. Two primary weapons and two secondary weapons are carried as alternatives, and the two gadgets are chosen before the round:

Category	Item
Primary Weapon	SPAS-15 — SHOTGUN
Primary Weapon	Spear .308 — ASSAULT RIFLE
Secondary Weapon	Bearing 9 — Machine Pistol
Secondary Weapon	Q-929 — HANDGUN
Secondary Weapon	ITA12S — SHOTGUN
Gadget	Barbed Wire
Gadget	Bulletproof camera
Gadget	Deployable Shield
Unique Ability	KÓNA STATION

Loadout: the publisher's own operator page, read October 12, 2026. A weapon's type is the publisher's own label for it. Where the publisher lists no type beside an item, none is shown rather than one being supplied.

The Record Fields

The publisher publishes a biography for each operator, and this page carries its record fields — real name, date of birth and place of birth — in the table at the top. The publisher's page carries a written biography and a psychological report beside these record fields. They are the publisher's own narrative text, so this page carries the record fields and links to the source for the rest.

Update Rule

Abilities and ratings change with balance patches, and this page tracks the publisher's own operator page rather than trying to keep pace with every adjustment. The date at the top records when that page was read, not when the game last changed. If a value here disagrees with the publisher's page, the publisher's value is correct and this page is out of date.
