• The law enforcement team begins this match with a major disadvantage—spawn far from the vault located in the bail bonds storefront of the Strip Mall. In most cases, the criminals will have planted at least one charge on the vault by the time the police arrive. Go into this match with some powerful close quarters weapons, like the mechanic’s SMGs or the enforcer’s shotguns. This gives you the best chance of chasing out the criminals and securing both the liquor store and bail bonds. An aggressive push during the early part of the match can make a huge difference. If you can’t establish control of the vault, fall back to the west and secure the three extraction points, taking up positions in the Apartments, Condo, and Houses.
• Since you spawn in the Strip Mall’s parking lot, reaching the vault isn’t a big problem for the criminal team, but don’t get overconfident. While the criminals can easily plant a charge on the vault before SWAT arrives, they need to babysit each charge for 30 seconds before they detonate. Keep the western entrances to each store closed, and be ready to ambush law enforcement as they pour through these narrow entrances. Expect plenty of close quarter fighting during the early moments of the round as both teams fight for control of the vault.
• Bail bonds establishments are known for keeping plenty of cash on-hand. This has lured the bangers to hit the vault at the bail bonds store in the Strip Mall. By accessing the back room of the business, near the holding cell, criminals can plant a charge directly on the thick, metal doors leading into the vault. As the primary breach point, expect heavy action in this area with law enforcement attacking from the west and criminals approaching from the east. Both teams should attempt to hold this backroom, securing (and booby-trapping) the narrow eastern and western doorways.
• Like most vaults, there’s another way inside. In addition to attacking the primary breach point, the criminal team should also enter the liquor store’s storage room and plant a charge on the northern wall, opening a new path into the bail bond store’s vault. The law enforcement team should be prepared to shut down this flanking path, taking control of the liquor store’s storage room as soon as possible. For best results, keep the large sliding door closed while attempting to lockdown this location and be prepared for attacks from both the east and west.
• There are three possible extraction points and all of them are somewhat exposed, giving SWAT a good chance of ambushing the bag carrier before a chopper can swoop in for the score. Extraction point (C) is closest to the vault, but is located in the vacant lot, south of the Condo. Deploy smoke and use the storage containers if attempting to score here. Expect the police to be watching the point from the Condo. If you’re tasked with running the bag to points (A) or (B), secure the house on the west side of the map before attempting to score. This house is a popular hiding spot for the law enforcement team, allowing them to cover both extraction points.

Divide and conquer. It is crucial for both teams to control the 3 lanes. Use the Apartments to gain the high ground and cover your carrier as they approach the point. —Evan Champlin, Senior Multiplayer Level Designer

A CQB paradise, shotguns are a great choice for anyone who wants to get up close and personal on this map. Grab a 44 Magnum and ask yourself one question: are you feeling lucky? —Aaron Broster, Quality Analyst
