New Junk City

Flashpoint Junkertown Outskirts, Australia
New Junk City

Key Positions

Central Scrapyard

The open scrapyard area where one of the flashpoints spawns; scattered debris provides partial cover

Elevated Platforms

Metal platforms and walkways above the capture areas; provide high ground advantage for snipers and hitscan

Junk Pile Flank

Route through piles of junk that flankers use to approach capture points from unexpected angles

Mega Health Pack (Workshop)

Located inside the workshop building; critical sustain resource during fights on nearby flashpoints

Tower Structure

Tall tower overlooking multiple flashpoint areas; a dominant position for heroes with range

Side Alley

Narrow passage between buildings; useful for flankers to bypass the main approach to each point

Attack Strategy

Five rotating capture points spread across the Junkertown extension reward fast rotations and adaptive compositions. Indoor flashpoints favor brawl picks that can win cramped close-range fights, while outdoor points reward ranged poke from the elevated scaffolding and rooftop perches. Take the high ground above each capture circle before committing your team and use mobility heroes to contest the next point as soon as the current one is decided. Speed boosts are key to winning the rotation race.

Defense Strategy

Predict the next capture point using the indoor/outdoor pattern and set up on the high ground before attackers arrive. Hold the rooftop scaffolding and elevated perches over the outdoor points to crossfire approaching attackers and use the indoor stalls and side rooms to brawl on the cramped flashpoints. Mobility and speed boosts are critical to winning the rotation race, since slow compositions cannot keep pace with attackers spawning closer to the next point.

Recommended Comp

Flexible/Rush with Lucio, Dive also works.

Hero Picks

Junkrat — Thematic and practical; the scattered debris and enclosed areas make his spam damage devastating
Wrecking Ball — Can roll between flashpoints quickly and contest from unexpected positions; high mobility is key
Soldier: 76 — Can take high ground on the platforms and provide consistent damage output across the open areas
Ana — Good sightlines from the elevated positions for healing and anti-nade
Tracer — Fast rotation between flashpoints and ability to stall captures make her highly effective

Tips & Tricks

  • Flashpoint maps rotate between five capture points; knowing where the next point spawns gives your team a positioning advantage
  • On New Junk City, the elevated platforms are power positions; always contest them before fighting on the point
  • Mobility heroes like Tracer and Wrecking Ball excel on flashpoint because they can rotate between points quickly
  • The workshop mega health pack is centrally located; controlling it gives sustain advantage for nearby flashpoint fights
  • Do not tunnel vision on one point; be ready to rotate to the next flashpoint immediately after capping
