Restricted Area 08. Alcatraz Warehouse

Structures and Infiltration Points

Welcome to the rock! This area is more secure than most, and the interior warehouse can be confusing when you’re learning the layout. There are few long-range sniping spots, which forces sneaking with Quadcopter shadowing for duos who work well together.

South Perimeter

The concrete path to the south offers safety, but little accessibility into the compound, as a large barbed-wire fence prevents you from dropping down. This continues west and south, to a gate in the southwest corner (1A), close to a hole in the concrete barrier you can pass an RC Jumper through (1B).

West Perimeter

The west courtyard and rocks by the water are completely impenetrable from the west side. Use the gate (southwest corner), or the northern perimeter for infiltration plans.

North Perimeter

Despite being on the water, there are numerous methods to insert yourself or a drone along this set of docks and into the main warehouse building. Northwest is the wooden dock (3A) with low scenery to duck behind, and only one or two watching foes. Concrete steps (3B) lead up into the west yard, offering direct paths in and, more importantly, out, to a waiting escape boat. The concrete paving area also has a set of concrete steps (3C), as well as crates you can climb up onto (3D), accessing the concrete deck around the main structure.

A more cunning method utilizes the large sewer pipe (3D) jutting out under the paved area. Wade in here, and move directly into the bowels of the warehouse, close to the boat garage—an excellent method of infiltration, although you need to be aware that the doors are likely to be locked and require a CCT. Watch for enemies spotting you from the ceiling grating in the south walkway.

The boat garage (3E) may be locked, but it offers the best method of fleeing this area, as there’s usually a (fast) boat docked here. Otherwise, it’s usually the hub of activity with battles and objectives close by, in the interior of the warehouse. Don’t overlook the ladder (3F) on the exterior west wall, which allows access up and onto the roof of the garage.

East Perimeter

Though you can’t access the concrete deck by the warehouse easily, there’s an open gate in the fencing (4A), just next to the chimney of the white old factory to the east of the restricted area. Take the dirt path near the water to reach it. On the south side of the white factory building is a bridge (4B) under the south perimeter, allowing sneaky access into the south walkway area. There’s a guard, but this is a good way to quickly sneak in. Take care that you aren’t overwhelmed by foes, though.

West, North, and East Deck

Surrounding the main warehouse is an exterior deck and gantry allowing access to pretty much every part of the outside warehouse. Assaulting the warehouse is easier if you spot the ladder on the north wall (5A), the open window (5B), and the crates up to the roof near the chimney (5C). Gaining access to the warehouse roof can be critical, as there are far better defensive positions up here, allowing you to rid yourself of foes more safely. The west concrete low roof deck is a hive of activity, and features a (usually locked) door (5D) as well as a ground vent (5E).

West Deck and South Walkway

On the south walkway from the bridge (southeast) to the yard (southwest), there are numerous ways in. Aside from the (usually locked) warehouse door (6A), there’s a duct close by (6B), allowing your RC Jumper into the main interior stairwell. Note the grating under your feet—tag foes through it if you need to. South is a small storage room (6C), sometimes locked, which has stairs down to the warehouse interior. Finally, there’s a roof hatch (6D) on the ground, allowing you to drop into (or climb out of) the sewer pipe exit. Use this for a quicker escape.

Warehouse Interior

There are two interior floors, which are initially confusing and labyrinthian, but are more compact than you’d think; it pays to explore thoroughly before taking an operation here. The upper floor—accessed via the boat garage (7A), south walkway (7B), or west concrete deck (7C)—features server boxes. In the northeast corner is a server room (7D), which can be accessed via the door, a ground vent in the south interior wall of the server room (7E), or the open window from outside.

There’s also an interior roof hatch in the upper floor (7F), close to the door to the server room, allowing you to drop down, or climb up from the lower-level storage room.

The lower level has a corridor running directly below the south walkway (from the sewer pipe), and south concrete stairs (7G) to the storage hut in the south walkway area. The main metal stairwell from the upper level leads to the boat garage, and there’s a duct opening (7H) hidden by pipes halfway down the stairs, leading to and from the south walkway. Note the second duct under the base of the stairs (7I), which leads to a second opening (7J) and into the small storage room (7K), which usually has an objective, and is locked. Note the ceiling hatch in the storage room, allowing you to climb out to the upper-floor interior.
