After having chosen an appropriate Wamai loadout in Rainbow Six Siege, you must assist your team in setting up the objective by reinforcing required walls and hunting down drones. Since Wamai is only able to deploy his gadgets as they keep generating, during the early-round stage, you can be the one taking care of attacker drones and basic wall reinforcements.

Always remember, survival is key for Wamai since dying with more than half of Mag-Net gadgets still in your belt will hurt the defending side. Deploy your gadget in positions like doorways or windows where attackers are planning to enter from. This will make sure that any Flahes, Smokes, Frags, or any projectile is effectively caught.

One of the most important points, which also is a key difference between Wamai and Jager, is that while the latter's gadget destroys attacker utility, the former's Mag-Nets traps them (but they still end up deploying).

What this means is attacker utilities like a Capitao Fire-bolt or Gridlock Trax Stinger caught by a Mag-Net will still deploy where the Mag-Net was present. Therefore, make sure to place your gadgets in spots that won't be harmful for your team in any way.
