Midtown

Hybrid New York City, USA
Midtown

Key Positions

Grand Central Interior

The train station interior at first point; provides multiple levels and angles for team fights around the capture area

Balcony Above Tracks

Elevated balcony overlooking the train tracks inside Grand Central; excellent for snipers and support heroes

Street Intersection

The wide intersection outside Grand Central where the escort phase begins; open sightlines in multiple directions

Mega Health Pack (Alley)

Located in a side alley between the station and the second checkpoint; vital sustain resource

Bookstore

Interior building on the right side of the escort path; provides cover and flanking opportunities

Final Plaza

Open plaza area at the final delivery point; high ground on surrounding buildings is critical to control

Attack Strategy

On first point, take the high ground on the left side building rooftops to pressure the open intersection and use the back alley to flank defenders holding the central choke. On second point, push through the broad New York street using cars and signs for cover from the long sightlines. For the final delivery into the bank, control the upper street level and force defenders out of the entry hall before committing the payload through the open lobby into the vault.

Defense Strategy

Lock down the long sightlines that define Midtown by holding the high ground on every section. On first point, set up on the building rooftops above the intersection and use the elevated balconies for crossfire on the open street. On second, hold the side balconies overlooking the broad street and watch the back alley flank. For the final point, control the upper bank level and the indoor lobby to force attackers into a tight final choke, with sustain comps winning the prolonged indoor fight.

Recommended Comp

Poke early, Brawl for tight final.

Winston — Can dive snipers on the high ground positions and contest the balcony in Grand Central
Widowmaker — Long sightlines on the streets outside Grand Central and the final plaza favor her

Tips & Tricks

  • ★ First point inside Grand Central plays very differently from the outdoor escort section; be ready to switch compositions
  • ★ On attack first point, taking the high balcony inside the station gives you a huge advantage in the capture fight
  • ★ The streets outside are wide and favor poke and dive; brawl compositions struggle with the open space
  • ★ On defense, falling back to the bookstore area after losing the street fight gives you a strong second hold
  • ★ Watch for flankers using the side alleys; the mega health pack alley is a common rotation path
