Antarctic Peninsula

Control Antarctica

Key Positions

Icebreaker Deck

Open ship deck area with long sightlines; poke compositions dominate this space

Labs Walkways

Elevated walkways above the Labs point; provide high ground and flanking angles

Sublevel Corridors

Tight underground corridors leading to the Sublevel point; brawl heroes excel here

Mega Health Pack (Labs Side Room)

Located in a side room near the Labs point; critical sustain during extended fights

Icebreaker Bridge

The ship bridge structure near the Icebreaker point; provides cover and elevation

Sublevel Doorways

Narrow doorways into the underground point; defenders use these to funnel attackers

Attack Strategy

On Icebreaker, use the open deck area to run poke compositions and control the long sightlines across the ship. On Labs, push through the side corridors to flank the enemy team on the point and use the elevated walkways for off-angles. On Sublevel, play close-range compositions and use the tight underground corridors to force brawl engagements where Reinhardt and close-range DPS excel. Adapt your approach to each sub-map since they play very differently.

Defense Strategy

On Icebreaker, hold the elevated positions around the point and use the ship structures for cover while maintaining long-range damage output. On Labs, control the high ground walkways above the point and deny flankers from using the side corridors. On Sublevel, hold the doorways into the underground point and force attackers to funnel through narrow entrances where your team can focus fire. Each sub-map requires a different defensive setup so be ready to adapt between rounds.

Recommended Comp

Varies by sub-map. Icebreaker favors poke with Sigma, Hanzo, and Ana. Labs favors dive with Winston and mobile DPS. Sublevel favors brawl with Reinhardt, Reaper, and Lucio. Be prepared to flex between compositions across the three rounds.

Hero Picks

Sigma — Strong on Icebreaker with long-range damage; flexible enough for Labs as well

Winston — Excellent on Labs where he can dive between walkways; decent on Sublevel for cleave damage

Reinhardt — Sublevel tight corridors are his playground; barrier and hammer dominate the underground

Hanzo — Long sightlines on Icebreaker and wall climb on Labs make him versatile across sub-maps

Lucio — Speed boost through Sublevel corridors and wall ride on Labs walkways are both strong

Tips & Tricks

★ Each sub-map plays very differently; be prepared to swap heroes between rounds to match the terrain
★ On Icebreaker, the open deck heavily favors poke compositions; avoid running brawl here
★ On Labs, the elevated walkways are power positions; contest them before fighting on the point
★ On Sublevel, brawl is almost always the best approach due to the tight underground corridors
★ Environmental kills are possible on Icebreaker near the edges of the ship; watch for Lucio and Pharah boops

Sub-Maps

Icebreaker

Open ship deck with long sightlines. Control the elevated positions and use poke compositions to maintain ranged pressure. The ship structures provide cover for repositioning. Environmental kill edges near the water make Lucio and Pharah dangerous.

Recommended Comp: Poke with Sigma, Hanzo, Soldier 76, Ana, and Baptiste. Long-range damage output controls the open deck.

Labs

Indoor research facility with elevated walkways and side corridors. Dive heroes can use the walkways for flanking angles and the corridors for rotations. The point is semi-enclosed with multiple entry points making it hard to hold with static compositions.

Recommended Comp: Dive with Winston, D.Va, Genji, Kiriko, and Lucio. Mobility to use the walkways and corridors effectively.

Sublevel

Tight underground corridors leading to an enclosed point. Brawl compositions dominate with Reinhardt barrier and close-range damage. The narrow doorways funnel enemies into kill zones. Control the mega health pack room for sustain advantage.

Recommended Comp: Brawl with Reinhardt, Reaper, Mei, Lucio, and Moira. Close-range dominance in the underground.
