How to complete Specimen Mission in Rainbow Six Extraction

Rainbow Six Extraction has 13 unique mission types that players will face during each incursion. Specimen is one of the relatively straightforward mission types which requires players to trap and capture an Elite Archaean for examination. 

The objective is simple, players will have to eliminate a few Archaeans to attract the Elite Archaean in the Sector. Once you locate the specimen start luring it towards the Extraction Pod to trap it.

Players should try to lure the Elite Archaean simply shoot at it a few times, and make it follow you. Make sure to eliminate all other Archaeans and nests around the path to move quickly through rooms. Create a path from that the Elite will follow towards the Extraction Pod, and wait for it to come through.

Targeting and shooting at the Elite Archaean can be futile as they come with a massive health bar. If you shoot the specimen too much then it will attack and knock you down. Alternatively, it might get eliminated, and you will lose a chance to complete the objective. 

Usually, the Elite Archaeans are quite fast, so make your way to the trap console as soon as you reach the Extraction Pod. Activate the trap when the Elite walks inside, and capture it to complete the Specimen mission in Rainbow Six Extraction.
