Oasis
Control
Oasis, Iraq
Key Positions
City Center Jump Pad
The jump pad on City Center that launches heroes to high ground; critical for controlling the elevated positions
City Center Road
The road with moving cars on City Center; stepping into traffic deals lethal damage to anyone caught
University Interior
Indoor rooms and corridors around the University point; provide flanking routes and off-angles
Gardens Open Area
Open outdoor area on the Gardens sub-map with environmental edges; boops are effective here
Gardens Jump Pad
The jump pad on Gardens that provides quick access to the point and high ground
Mega Health Pack (University)
Located inside the University building; controlling this gives a significant sustain advantage
Attack Strategy
On City Center, mind the moving cars and use the side balconies to drop onto the point while baiting defenders into traffic. On Gardens, claim the elevated platform overlooking the lower point and use the jump pads to rotate quickly between angles and reposition mid-fight. On University, control the upper hallway and the bookshelf cover before pushing the indoor point. Long sightlines on City Center reward hitscan picks, while brawl shines in University's tight indoor fights and the Gardens platform clashes.
Defense Strategy
Use Oasis's verticality and traffic. On City Center, set up on the side balconies and rooftops above the point and bait attackers into the path of the cars for environmental kills. On Gardens, hold the elevated platform overlooking the point and contest the jump pads to deny vertical rotations from attackers. On University, lock down the upper hallway and the bookshelf cover so attackers cannot establish high ground inside. Knockback abilities turn the low railings on every sub-arena into environmental eliminations.
