Escort Route 66, USA
Route 66

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

On first point, take the high ground on the left side cliff to pressure defenders holding the saloon entrance and use the cave route on the right to flank the spawn camp. On second point, push through the diner using the back rooms and the upper window for off-angles on defenders holding the choke. For the final push, control the Deadlock cave and the upper catwalks before committing the payload through the open final stretch into the gang's hideout.

Defense Strategy

Set up on the high ground above the saloon on first point and use the cliff and rooftops to crossfire the open dirt road. On second point, hold the diner with crossfire from the back rooms and the upper window over the entrance, watching the side route through the alley. On the final point, control the Deadlock cave and the upper catwalks to lock down the payload route and force attackers into a chokepoint with no high ground of their own.

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
