Mid Deck Hardpoint
Mid Deck is a dangerous place. This flat surface, perfect for a sniper, is also seated directly below the upper deck. Enemies will pour off of the upper deck like raindrops during a thunderstorm. Use the lockers surrounding the Hardpoint as cover, as they’re easily the best protection available. The object in the center of the Hardpoint provides serviceable cover, but you’ll have a hard time relocating if a sniper shows up. Watch for attacks from above and stay out of sight and you’ll have a good chance at holding this point down.
If you’re trying to dislodge the enemy, attack from a distance with a mid or long-range weapon. Dropping in behind the defenders from the upper deck is also a great way to catch them off guard.
Lifeboat Deck Hardpoint
This point appears on the side path of the ship called Lifeboat Deck, which is located between two sniping locations (albeit, exposed locations). It goes without saying to stay behind the cover in the center of the point. If you’re not feeling bold, you can back off to the sniper’s overlook on your side of the ship and try to support your teammates as they push the Hardpoint. Keep watch on the enemy’s overlook on the opposite end of this lane and keep your eyes on the door leading into the ship if you’re currently in the Hardpoint. It’s a great path to take for flanking, so expect enemies to use it for that purpose.
Gun Overlook Hardpoint
The point near the front of the ship is visible from the upper level of the ship’s interior, which is an excellent sniping location. You can use this location to take out enemy defenders, or force them back into a corner while your teammates move onto the point to finish the job. While on the point, go prone and block off line of sight from the upper interior areas of the ship. Although it’s a terrific sniping location for your team, it can also be the source of a good deal of frustration if you’re not paying attention to it.
Crane Overlook Hardpoint
Sniper fire coming from the platform on the opposite end of the ship can help support a push on the point. Grenades and Scorestreaks (like Glide Bomb) can go a long way in dislodging enemies if they currently hold the point. You can also get a great view of the point by entering the upper level of the ship’s interior and looking out its windows.
Cafeteria Hardpoint
This Hardpoint, which is firmly in the guts of the ship’s interior, can get absolutely chaotic. If you’re trying to dislodge enemies, go nuts with grenades. If you’re the one on the point, try to keep cover to your back to block off line of sight and focus on the entrance. If you have a teammate on the Hardpoint, don’t be afraid to step off the point and get into a corner for a safer position.
