Start with the recommended baseline, change one value at a time, and test each adjustment under consistent conditions.
Panda Attackers V2 and Panda Defenders V2 are two closely related Rainbow Six Siege Cronus Zen scripts.
The key difference is straightforward: Attackers V2 is built around attacker operators and their weapons, while Defenders V2 is built around defender operators and their weapons.
Underneath that difference, both scripts share a very similar configuration system with operator selection, weapon-specific anti-recoil, quick mods, controller layouts and multiple input profiles.

Panda Attackers V2 Explained
Panda Attackers V2 contains an attacker-focused operator database covering operators from earlier Rainbow Six Siege releases through newer entries included in the current GPC.
Examples include:
- Sledge
- Thatcher
- Ash
- Thermite
- Twitch
- Glaz
- IQ
- Buck
- Hibana
- Jackal
- Zofia
- Finka
- Maverick
- Nomad
- Nøkk
- Iana
- Ace
- Zero
- Osa
- Grim
- Ram
- Deimos
- Striker
- Rauora
The exact list in the GPC is used to connect an operator selection with available weapon choices and recoil configuration.
Panda Defenders V2 Explained
Panda Defenders V2 uses the same general idea but replaces the attacker database with defender operators.
The current script contains 38 defender entries including:
- Smoke
- Mute
- Castle
- Pulse
- Doc
- Rook
- Kapkan
- Jäger
- Bandit
- Frost
- Valkyrie
- Caveira
- Echo
- Mira
- Lesion
- Ela
- Vigil
- Maestro
- Alibi
- Kaid
- Mozzie
- Warden
- Wamai
- Oryx
- Melusi
- Aruni
- Thunderbird
- Thorn
- Azami
- Solis
- Fenrir
- Tubarão
- Sentry
- Skopos
- Denari
The Biggest Difference: Operator and Weapon Profiles
The two scripts are not simply the same GPC with a different title.
Each contains its own operator-to-weapon assignments and anti-recoil data.
For example, the attacker script contains weapons associated with attacker loadouts such as:
- R4-C
- G36C
- F2
- AK-12
- C8-SFW
- TYPE-89
- C7E
- M762
- ARX200
- SC3000K
The defender script contains profiles for weapons commonly found across defender loadouts such as:
- MP5
- MP5K
- MP7
- MPX
- P10 RONI
- VECTOR .45
- 9X19VSN
- K1A
- ALDA 5.56
- T-5 SMG
There is some weapon overlap between attackers and defenders, but each operator's available loadout is mapped separately inside its respective script.
How the Anti-Recoil System Works
Both Panda scripts contain operator and weapon-specific recoil tables.
After selecting the operator and the weapon you are using, the script loads the recoil configuration associated with that selection.
This is different from a simple Rainbow Six Siege GPC that gives every weapon one universal vertical recoil value.
For more information on this type of setup, read our How Weapon Profiles Work in Rainbow Six Siege Cronus Zen Scripts guide.
Primary and Secondary Weapons
Both scripts distinguish between primary and secondary weapon selections.
Operators can have several weapon entries associated with their loadout, allowing the script to switch to the appropriate recoil data when the selected weapon changes.
This is one reason choosing the correct operator is important before testing anti-recoil.
Adjustable Anti-Recoil
The main configuration menu in both scripts contains a dedicated Anti-Recoil section.
This gives you a way to tune the recoil configuration instead of being permanently locked to the values stored in the script.
If a weapon profile feels too strong or too weak with your particular sensitivity, make small adjustments and test again.
Our Rainbow Six Siege anti-recoil testing guide covers a useful testing process.
Shared Quick Mods
The two scripts share most of the same quick-toggle system.
Common options found in both current GPC files include:
- Crouch Spam
- Strafe
- Shaiko Lean
- Lean Spam
- Prone Shot
- Rapid Fire
- Dead Zone
- Rapid Fire for All
- Auto Lean
- Hip Lean
- Ping on Shot
- Auto Scan
- Inverted
- Abilities
- LED settings
This means the main deciding factor between the two scripts is not their general mod list—it is which side's operator and weapon profiles you need.
Shaiko Lean
Both scripts include a Shaiko Lean option.
The GPC monitors the appropriate lean controls while aiming and runs its programmed lean sequence when the feature is enabled.
This is separate from the standard Lean Spam and Auto Lean options.
Lean Spam
Lean Spam is another shared feature.
When enabled and its activation conditions are met, the script runs a repeated programmed leaning sequence.
Because both scripts contain the same general quick-toggle system, switching from Attackers to Defenders does not mean relearning an entirely different mod interface.
Auto Lean and Hip Lean
Both scripts contain:
- Auto Lean
- Hip Lean
The underlying script behaviour can also adapt depending on the selected controller/input profile.
This is particularly relevant because both Panda scripts support separate Controller, XIM and M&K profile modes.
Crouch Spam
Crouch Spam is available in both scripts and can be enabled through the quick-toggle configuration.
Again, the feature itself is shared—the difference between Attackers and Defenders remains the operator and weapon database running alongside it.
Rapid Fire
Both GPC files include Rapid Fire functionality.
They also include a separate Rapid Fire for All quick toggle.
The standard Rapid Fire system can interact with weapon-specific information stored in the script, while the broader toggle provides a separate configuration choice.
Controller, XIM and M&K Profiles
Both Panda scripts contain three selectable profile types:
- Controller
- XIM
- M&K
These profiles allow the script's configuration to account for different input setups.
The current GPC also contains SAB-related configuration for the relevant profile modes.
Controller Layout Support
The two scripts share an extensive controller-layout menu.
Available layout entries in the current GPC include:
- Default
- Lefty
- SouthPaw
- SouthPaw Lefty
- Bumper Swap
- Bumper Lean
- LB/L1 crouch layout
- RB/R1 crouch layout
- RT/R2 crouch layout
- XIM
- M&K
This is useful if your Rainbow Six Siege controller mapping differs from the standard layout.
OLED Configuration Menu
Both scripts use a similar OLED-based configuration structure.
Main configuration areas include:
- Anti-Recoil
- Guns
- Mod Values
- Reset
- VM Speed
- Layouts
- Profiles
The similarity between the two menus is intentional: once you understand how to configure one Panda V2 script, switching to the other side should feel familiar.
A Small Attacker-Specific Difference
The current Panda Attackers V2 quick-toggle list contains an additional “SkltonK RF” entry that is not present in the current Panda Defenders V2 quick-toggle list.
Outside of side-specific operator logic and that additional option, the core quick-mod structure is very similar.
Which Has More Operators?
Panda Defenders V2 explicitly defines 38 defender operator slots in its current GPC.
Panda Attackers V2 contains a broad attacker selection covering legacy and newer attacker entries.
Operator count alone should not be the deciding factor, however, because these scripts are designed for opposite sides of the match.
Which Is Better for Anti-Recoil?
Neither script is universally “better” for anti-recoil because they are built for different weapon pools.
Panda Attackers V2 is the logical choice when you need recoil profiles for attacker loadouts.
Panda Defenders V2 is the logical choice when you need recoil profiles for defender loadouts.

Do You Need Both Scripts?
If you want the Panda operator-profile system available on both sides of a Rainbow Six Siege match, the scripts are designed to complement each other.
Attackers V2 handles the attacking operator database, while Defenders V2 handles the defending database.
If you mainly want a script for one side or are only comparing the feature architecture, you can choose the one corresponding to the operators and weapon profiles you want.
Panda Attackers V2 Is Best If...
- You want attacker-specific operator profiles.
- You mainly need recoil settings for attacking weapons.
- You use operators such as Ash, Twitch, Buck, Hibana, Zofia, Iana or Ace.
- You want operator-based weapon switching alongside quick mods.
- You want Controller, XIM or M&K profile support.
Panda Defenders V2 Is Best If...
- You want defender-specific operator profiles.
- You mainly need recoil settings for defending weapons.
- You use operators such as Smoke, Jäger, Bandit, Valkyrie, Mira, Mozzie, Azami or Fenrir.
- You want the same familiar Panda-style quick-mod system on defense.
- You want Controller, XIM or M&K profile support.
Our Verdict
The choice between Panda Attackers V2 and Panda Defenders V2 is simpler than most script comparisons.
Choose Panda Attackers V2 for attacking operator and weapon profiles.
Choose Panda Defenders V2 for defending operator and weapon profiles.
Their underlying feature sets are deliberately similar, with shared anti-recoil configuration, quick mods, layouts and input profiles. The important difference is the side-specific operator and weapon data each GPC contains.
