Start with the recommended baseline, change one value at a time, and test each adjustment under consistent conditions.
Veritas V5.7 Attackers and Veritas V5.7 Defenders are not really two competing versions of the same Rainbow Six Siege script.
They are two matching halves of one side-specific setup.
Veritas V5.7 Attackers is built around attacker operator profiles.
Veritas V5.7 Defenders covers the defender side.
Both use the same general feature structure, including selectable operators, primary and secondary weapon settings, adjustable recoil controls, OLED configuration and several movement or shot-related options.
So which one is better?
If you regularly play both sides, the best setup is to use both.

| Main Difference | Attacker profiles | Defender profiles |
The Main Difference Is the Operator Pool
The biggest difference is exactly what the product names suggest.
Veritas V5.7 Attackers contains profiles for:
30 Rainbow Six Siege attackers.
Veritas V5.7 Defenders contains profiles for:
30 Rainbow Six Siege defenders.
The current catalog describes both operator selectors as being organised by operation year.
This keeps the two sides separated rather than placing every attacker and defender into one oversized operator menu.
Why Split Attackers and Defenders Into Two Scripts?
Rainbow Six Siege has very different operator and weapon selections on each side.
By separating the profiles, Veritas V5.7 can keep:
- Attacker operators in the Attackers script
- Defender operators in the Defenders script
- Side-specific weapon selections
- Side-specific saved configurations
instead of forcing both sides into one menu structure.
Attackers: What Does It Include?
Veritas V5.7 Attackers is the attack-side half of the setup.
Its current product specification includes:
- 30 attacker operator profiles
- Operator selection organised by operation year
- Primary weapon selection
- Secondary weapon selection
- Adjustable horizontal recoil
- Adjustable vertical recoil
- Saved weapon-specific settings
- Rapid-fire support on compatible profiles
- Lean Spam
- Crouch Spam
- Drop Shot
- Prone Shot
- Bunny Hop
- Strafe Shot
- Smart Shot
- OLED configuration
- Individual or full reset controls
Defenders: What Does It Include?
Veritas V5.7 Defenders mirrors the same general system for defence.
Its current specification lists:
- 30 defender operator profiles
- Operator selection organised by operation year
- Primary weapon selection
- Secondary weapon selection
- Adjustable horizontal recoil
- Adjustable vertical recoil
- Saved weapon-specific settings
- Rapid-fire support on compatible profiles
- Lean Spam
- Crouch Spam
- Drop Shot
- Prone Shot
- Bunny Hop
- Strafe Shot
- Smart Shot
- OLED configuration
- Individual or full reset controls
Feature Difference: Almost None
At the feature-category level, the two scripts are deliberately very similar.
The Attackers version does not appear to be a stripped-down version of Defenders.
The Defenders version is not marketed as having extra movement or recoil tools.
Instead, both provide the same general toolkit around a different set of operator and weapon profiles.
Operator Profiles
Both scripts are operator-based rather than presenting only one generic Rainbow Six Siege recoil setup.
The workflow is:
- Select the relevant side-specific operator.
- Select the primary or secondary weapon.
- Configure the available weapon settings.
- Save the configuration.
This is useful for R6 because the weapon options available to one operator can differ from another.
Attackers Win for Attacker Profiles
This category is straightforward.
If you are currently playing an attacker, use:
Veritas V5.7 Attackers.
The Defender script is not intended to replace the Attackers operator pool.
Defenders Win for Defender Profiles
The same applies in reverse.
If you are playing defence, use:
Veritas V5.7 Defenders.
Primary and Secondary Weapon Selection
Both versions let you configure:
- Primary weapon
- Secondary weapon
This means the operator selection is only the first part of the configuration.
You also choose the weapon setup associated with that operator.
Saved Weapon-Specific Settings
The current Veritas listings specifically describe saved weapon-specific recoil settings.
That means the system is designed around retaining configurations rather than forcing you to rebuild the same weapon settings every time you change operator.
Adjustable Recoil Controls
Both Veritas V5.7 halves provide adjustable:
- Horizontal anti-recoil
- Vertical anti-recoil
The values can be changed directly through the OLED interface.
This is one of the main advantages of the operator/weapon-profile structure: the script can store settings around the selected configuration instead of relying on one value for every R6 weapon.
Do Attackers and Defenders Use the Same Recoil Values?
Do not assume that they do.
The two scripts contain different side-specific operator and weapon pools.
A value saved for one Attackers weapon should not automatically be copied to a different Defender weapon simply because both scripts use the same recoil menu system.
The current project sources confirm editable horizontal and vertical values, but they do not provide the complete Veritas V5.7 operator-by-operator default recoil table.
For that reason, this comparison does not invent universal “best” recoil numbers.
Rapid Fire
Both product specifications include rapid-fire support for compatible weapon profiles.
The important phrase is:
compatible weapon profiles.
It should not be interpreted as meaning every weapon in either script uses the feature.
Rapid Fire Winner: Tie
The same capability is listed on both sides.
Lean Spam
Both Veritas V5.7 versions include Lean Spam as a quick-toggle option.
This means there is no attacker-only or defender-only advantage here.
If you use the feature, the control structure is available on either side.
Crouch Spam
Crouch Spam is also listed for both scripts.
Again, the difference between Attackers and Defenders is not the movement toolkit—it is the operator/profile database loaded into that particular GPC.
Drop Shot and Prone Shot
Both halves include:
- Drop Shot
- Prone Shot
as configurable shot-related modes.
Bunny Hop
Bunny Hop is present on both sides.
This is another example of a shared Veritas V5.7 utility rather than a side-specific feature.
Strafe Shot
Both listings also include Strafe Shot.
So choosing Defenders instead of Attackers does not give you a separate or expanded Strafe Shot system according to the current catalog.
Smart Shot
Smart Shot is listed for both Attackers and Defenders.
The current source material does not provide enough detail to claim that Smart Shot behaves differently between the two GPCs, so it should be treated as a shared feature.
OLED Menu
Both scripts include an OLED interface for configuration and status information.
From the current product specifications, the menu handles areas including:
- Operator selection
- Weapon selection
- Recoil configuration
- Feature toggles
- Reset controls
Reset Individual Settings or Reset All
Both halves include reset functionality.
This gives you the ability to return individual settings—or the overall configuration—to its reset state when necessary.
The Most Important Veritas Feature: Paired Slot Switching
The two listings are specifically designed to work together through separate Cronus Zen slots.
The Attackers listing recommends loading the matching Defenders V5.7 script separately.
The Defenders listing gives the same instruction in reverse.
Example Zen Slot Setup
A simple configuration would be:
Zen Slot 1 → Veritas V5.7 Attackers
Zen Slot 2 → Veritas V5.7 Defenders
When the Rainbow Six Siege round changes sides, switch to the corresponding Zen slot.
Why This Makes More Sense Than Choosing One
If you purchase only Attackers, you have the attack-side operator profiles.
If you purchase only Defenders, you have the defence-side profiles.
If you regularly play complete Rainbow Six Siege matches, you will normally use both sides.
That is why the two scripts are better understood as a pair.

Both listings provide adjustable horizontal and vertical anti-recoil plus saved weapon-specific settings.
The key difference is which side's weapons those profiles belong to.
Which Is Better for Movement Features?
Tie.
Both currently list:
- Lean Spam
- Crouch Spam
- Bunny Hop
- Strafe Shot
Which Is Better for Shot Modes?
Tie.
Both include:
- Drop Shot
- Prone Shot
- Smart Shot
alongside rapid-fire support on compatible profiles.
Which Has More Operators?
Neither.
The current product data lists:
30 Attackers
and:
30 Defenders.
Who Should Buy Veritas V5.7 Attackers?
Choose Veritas V5.7 Attackers if you specifically want:
- Attacker operator profiles
- Attack-side primary and secondary weapon selections
- Editable weapon recoil settings
- The shared Veritas movement and shot toolkit
Who Should Buy Veritas V5.7 Defenders?
Choose Veritas V5.7 Defenders if you specifically want:
- Defender operator profiles
- Defence-side primary and secondary weapon selections
- Editable weapon recoil settings
- The shared Veritas movement and shot toolkit
Who Should Use Both?
If you play normal Rainbow Six Siege matches and regularly switch between attack and defence, using both is the intended complete setup.
Load them into separate Cronus Zen slots and switch scripts when the side changes.
Veritas V5.7 vs a Single All-in-One R6 Script
Veritas takes a different approach from scripts that place every configuration inside one GPC.
Its main advantage is organisation:
one script dedicated to Attackers + one script dedicated to Defenders.
If you prefer a single combined R6 script, compare other options in our Best Rainbow Six Siege Cronus Zen Scripts Compared guide.
Veritas vs Panda Attackers and Defenders
CzenScripts also carries another side-separated Rainbow Six Siege setup in:
- Panda Attackers V2
- Panda Defenders V2
You can read the Panda Attackers V2 vs Panda Defenders V2 comparison if you want another attacker/defender-style R6 setup to compare.
Setup Tips
When setting up the Veritas pair:
- Install Attackers into one Zen slot.
- Install Defenders into a neighbouring slot.
- Confirm your controller works correctly with both.
- Configure the operator and weapon you actually use.
- Test any optional movement or shot features individually.
- Save your working settings.
- Switch slots when your Siege side changes.
For initial device setup, see How to Set Up Cronus Zen for Rainbow Six Siege.
Do Not Copy Attacker Settings Directly to Defenders
The interface may be similar, but the available operator and weapon profiles are different.
Do not assume that a configuration used for an attacker weapon should automatically become your defender setting.
Treat each operator and weapon profile as its own configuration.
Are the Exact Veritas V5.7 Operator Lists Available Here?
The current CzenScripts product data confirms 30 attacker profiles and 30 defender profiles organised by operation year.
However, the complete Veritas V5.7 GPC files are not present in the current project script archive used for this comparison.
Because of that, this guide does not invent exact operator lists, exact weapon lists or default recoil numbers that are not supported by the available source material.
Final Verdict
Veritas V5.7 Attackers and Defenders are effectively tied on features.
Both provide:
- 30 operator profiles
- Primary and secondary weapon selection
- Adjustable horizontal and vertical recoil
- Saved weapon-specific settings
- Rapid fire for compatible profiles
- Lean Spam
- Crouch Spam
- Drop Shot
- Prone Shot
- Bunny Hop
- Strafe Shot
- Smart Shot
- OLED controls
- Reset options
The deciding factor is simply which side you need.
