Overview

Undercover vs. Thieves

The cops have located an illegal underground marijuana grow operation. Law enforcement raids the place, but the criminals aren’t going down without a fight. After all, this is precious cargo for them.

Growhouse is one of the smaller maps in Battlefield: Hardline, bringing a whole new form of action to the Battlefield franchise. Everyone has a role in Growhouse; from the close ranged weaponry of the enforcer and mechanic, to the laser tripmines and sabotage bombs of the professional. Laser sights, incendiary devices, and gas grenades are very useful tools when playing this map because they allow you to check sharp corners quickly and block entire routes wita single item. Even thougGrowhouse is small, it is an extremely vertical map that provides cover to enemies above and below you. Keep your head moving and check every sightline before advancing too far. You don’t want to be caught in a situation where you’re squad is wiped out because the enemy wasn’t directly in front of you.

Key Locations

The Train Yard is surrounded by empty shipping containers and concrete barriers that are excellent forms of solid cover. Use the long firing lanes to keep your distance from this area when botattacking and defending.

The main street has several vantage points that can be used to protect this key location. Use the cars and shipping containers as cover and climb the buildings to cover eacend of the street.

The inside of Merry Jane Cleaners is one of the close-quarters sections of Growhouse, especially when the warehouse doors are shut. Keep your eyes on the roof and walkways, as there are a three different levels to the warehouse. All wittheir own advantage.

The Explosive Tanker right outside the Growhouse is a game changer. It is extremely dangerous and you should avoid the area immediately around it until it is destroyed. Once demolished, use it as the quickest shortcut to the Lower Growhouse. This Key Location is most important in game modes like: Heist, Crosshair, and Rescue.

Beneatthe cleaners warehouse is a hidden lair witmany different entrances. Late in the game it is nearly impossible to cover every patto this part of the Growhouse, so choose your patwisely and make your time down in this area count.

FLIR and Night-Vision scopes really shine on this map. –Jeff Zaring
