Once again, the city center is the site of this Squad Deathmatch battle, with most fighting taking place around the Mall and hotel. In these matches, most squads automatically gravitate toward the Mall, hoping to secure the upper floors and use the structure as a base of operations. However, the Mall is far too large for a four-player squad to adequately secure—there are simply too many entry points to cover. As a result, the fighting inside the Mall is a chaotic free-for-all, where individual skill often trumps any sense of tactics. If you prefer an arena-style gun battle, by all means, lead your squad into the Mall. However, it’s much safer (and wiser) to stay clear of the Mall’s interior. Instead, patrol the northern, western, and eastern perimeter of the map—avoid the street on the east side as it’s often watched by sharpshooters or patrolled by an IFV. By moving along the perimeter of the map, your squad can rack up plenty of kills by targeting opponents rushing through the center. The perimeter is also where the four possible IFV spawn points are located, so being there increases your squad’s chances of gaining access to one of these devastating vehicles. But even if your squad acquires an IFV, stick to the perimeter streets and avoid the Mall’s interior at all costs.
