Key Positions
Gas Station High Ground

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
