Learn Key Tactical Positions and Angles

Explore Defensive Holds

Walk through the map during a practice session without combat pressure. Identify the apartment building overlooking the A site—this is a strong defensive position with clear sightlines. Check the market area for elevated cover and narrow passages where defenders can control pushes. Visit the B site's back alley and main entrance to understand how attackers might breach.

Scout Attacker Routes

Trace the main pathway from spawn toward each bombsite. Note which corridors offer cover and which are open and vulnerable. Test the rooftop access points and understand how height advantage works in different areas. Practice moving through the map silently to learn timing and positioning.

Practice Crossfire Setups

With a teammate, position one player at a chokepoint while another covers from an unexpected angle. This teaches you how to hold sites with limited numbers. Experiment with baiting enemy fire and rotating to a secondary position. Understanding these angles transforms you from a casual explorer into a tactical player.
