Watchpoint: Gibraltar

Escort Gibraltar

Key Positions

Cave High Ground

Elevated cave route on first point that bypasses the main choke; attackers who take this gain a massive positional advantage

Hangar Catwalk

Catwalk running above the hangar area; provides high ground for both attack and defense throughout the first section

Server Room

Tight corridors near second point; brawl compositions can hold here to prevent the payload from advancing

Mega Health Pack (Under Rocket)

Located beneath the rocket platform on the final point; essential sustain for the climactic fight

Rocket Platform Gantry

Elevated gantry and walkways above the final delivery point; the team holding this wins the final fight

Outdoor Walkways

Exterior walkways between sections of the base; provide sightlines and rotation paths between points

Attack Strategy

Take the high ground cave route on first point to bypass the main choke and establish an elevated position above the defenders. Push through the hangar using the side corridors for cover. On second point, use the outdoor walkways and high ground to pressure defenders from above. For the final push to the rocket platform, coordinate a dive or speed boost push through the server room and take the high ground on the gantry before committing to the final fight. The vertical nature of this map rewards teams that consistently claim elevated positions.

Defense Strategy

Hold the rocket platform high ground on the final point as your strongest position, forcing attackers to fight uphill. On first point, set up at the hangar entrance with crossfire from the catwalk above and the ground level. Use the narrow server room corridors to funnel attackers on second point. Fall back to the gantry walkways above the rocket to maintain high ground advantage. The cave route must be contested or attackers will bypass your setup entirely; send a player to watch the cave entrance.

Recommended Comp

Dive composition with Winston, D.Va, Genji or Tracer, Ana, and Lucio. The map has extensive vertical space and multiple flanking routes that reward mobile heroes. Winston can leap between the many high ground positions, and the team can dive isolated targets on the catwalks and gantries throughout.

Hero Picks

Winston — Extensive vertical space and high ground positions make his leap invaluable for claiming elevated positions

D.Va — Can boost between the many levels and platforms; Defense Matrix protects the team during rotations

Tracer — Multiple flank routes through the base corridors give her excellent harassment opportunities

Ana — Long sightlines from the elevated positions provide excellent healing angles across the map

Genji — Wall climb and dash let him access every high ground position; the vertical map plays to his strengths

Tips & Tricks

★ The cave route on first point is essential for attackers; taking it before the fight gives you a dominant elevated position
★ This map has more vertical space than almost any other; always look up and down for enemies on different levels
★ On defense, the rocket platform gantry is the strongest position on the final point; hold it at all costs
★ The server room corridors near second point are tight enough for brawl compositions; consider swapping if needed
★ Winston is arguably the best tank on this map due to the constant high ground positions he can leap between
