Key Positions

Gas Station High Ground

Elevated position above the gas station at first point; defenders hold here to contest the payload from safety

Cave Entrance

Narrow cave passage connecting the attacker spawn area to the first point; a critical choke that defenders often set up at

Big Earl Diner

Building on the right side of second point with high ground; useful for snipers and hitscan heroes

Train Tracks

Open area near the train on second point; provides long sightlines but limited cover

Mega Health Pack (Under Bridge)

Located under the bridge near second point; essential for sustain during drawn-out fights

Final Point High Ground

Elevated platforms on both sides of the final delivery area; defenders can crossfire from multiple angles

Attack Strategy

Gas station high ground right, underpass second, cave brawl final.

Defense Strategy

Billboard/diner high ground, Big Earl's rooftop, inside cave.

Recommended Comp

Attack - Dive/Poke. Defense - Brawl cave, Poke early.

Hero Picks

Widowmaker — Extremely long sightlines on all three points make her one of the best picks on this map
Cassidy — Medium range engagements and flashbang are effective in the semi-open terrain
Sigma — Barrier placement is flexible across the open spaces and his damage output is strong at range
Ana — Long sightlines give her excellent healing and anti-nade angles from safe positions
Pharah — Open skybox allows her to play aggressively with limited hitscan cover in some sections

Tips & Tricks

  • On attack first point, splitting between the main road and the cave forces defenders to divide their attention
  • The train on second point provides temporary cover but be aware it can move and leave you exposed
  • Defenders on third should set up on the high ground platforms and avoid fighting on the payload level
  • Widowmaker can get a sightline from the gas station all the way to the cave entrance on first point
  • Use the mega health pack under the bridge as a fallback position during second point fights
