A destroyed city block with interconnected, rubble-filled buildings lining its sides. Snipers rule the middle and the extreme ends of the map. Stay out of the center at all costs and focus on making the side buildings your territory and you’ll do just fine.
Mid-Range Loadout Tactics
Mid-range loadouts are solid on this map, but watch out when moving through the Fireplace building. This is a short-range player’s dream and a close-up fight could be over before the fight even begins. That doesn’t mean you should avoid it, just don’t rush through thinking a fight will immediately go in your favor.
The other side of the middle lane will be much better suited to your playstyle. The extreme ends of the map can be a challenge because of the openness and lack of cover, but with a proper rifle in hand you can challenge just about anyone, save for an adept sniper.
The middle lane can be a real mess, so avoid spending a lot of time there. The buses are perfect for snipers and there are a solid half dozen different openings into the center, which often lead to groundbreaking levels of flanking. Use this lane to cross between buildings or for a quick flank, then get out of there.
Short-Range Loadout Tactics
If you want to play with short-range loadouts, stick to the buildings lining the center lane. These areas are very friendly for close-quarters firefights, so you’ll feel right at home while in them. Spend as little time as possible on the extreme ends of the map and stay out of that center lane; you’ll have a good run of it if you do.
Long-Range Loadout Tactics
The buses bookending the center line are tailor made for you and your kind. Use them to catch any poor sap foolish or desperate enough to trek into the center of the map, but be ready for counter-snipers in or around the bus on the other side of the map.
The extreme ends of the map are also very well suited to a long-range loadout. Plenty of open, flat space in the center of both of these areas will make anyone running through them an easy target. The long alleys and buildings with cover will provide plenty of protection to fire from. Don’t expect to see a lot of action in these areas, but on the rare occasion you find yourself behind enemy lines, or if enemies are pushing up on your position, retreating deeper into these areas will definitely play more into your favor than theirs.
