1. What is KD Ratio?

The KD (Kill/Death) ratio is a performance metric used in Rainbow Six Siege and other competitive games to measure a player's efficiency. It represents the number of kills a player gets per death.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple KD formula:

Where:

• \( Kills \) — Total number of eliminations
• \( Deaths \) — Total number of times player was eliminated

Explanation: A KD ratio above 1.0 indicates the player gets more kills than deaths, while below 1.0 means more deaths than kills.

3. Importance of KD Ratio in Rainbow Six Siege

Details: KD ratio is a key performance indicator in R6 that helps players track their improvement, compare performance with others, and assess their contribution to the team's success.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total kills and deaths from your R6 matches. Both values must be non-negative integers. If deaths is zero, the calculator will show "Undefined (Perfect KD)".

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is considered a good KD ratio in R6?
A: Generally, 1.0 is average, 1.5+ is good, and 2.0+ is excellent. However, this can vary based on playstyle and rank.

Q2: Does KD ratio affect matchmaking?
A: While KD is a performance metric, Rainbow Six Siege's matchmaking primarily uses MMR (Matchmaking Rating) based on win/loss records.

Q3: Should I focus only on KD ratio?
A: No. Team play, objective completion, and utility usage are equally important. A support player might have lower KD but high win rate.

Q4: How can I improve my KD ratio?
A: Practice aim, learn maps, use drones effectively, play with your team, and focus on positioning and game sense.

Q5: Does KD reset each season?
A: Seasonal KD resets, but overall lifetime KD remains tracked in your profile statistics.
