This map and mode makes for strange bedfellows. Normally, the goal is to grab the flag, then flee indoors or to an area with copious amounts of cover. But in this case, that path is actually the most direct one, meaning it’s also the most contested path to take. Instead of the usual “bob and weave” strategy, try unorthodox routes back to your flag. We don’t suggest this every time, but it’s worth a gamble now and then.
That said, it’s best to avoid the Docks with the flag in your possession.. If you’ve managed to grab the flag and bolt for the Docks, you’re simply begging to lose it. The Docks is littered with obstacles and obstructions that barely reach your waist; a sharpshooter worth their salt will shut you down from across the map.
