Sabotage Guide: Greenhouse
The Greenhouse sabotage, a key feature on maps like Polus, provides Impostors with a strategic advantage by controlling access to a vital area. This sabotage can isolate crewmates, disrupt task completion, and create perfect kill opportunities.
When the Greenhouse is sabotaged, its doors become locked, preventing any crewmate from entering or exiting. This is particularly effective if crewmates are known to frequent the Greenhouse for tasks or as a transit point. The objective is to create a confined space, trap individuals, or prevent crewmates from reaching other critical areas of the map. The Greenhouse's location often makes its lockdown a sificant impediment to crewmate movement.
Strategic Uses of the Greenhouse Sabotage:
- Isolation and Trapping: If you observe a crewmate entering the Greenhouse, or if they are already inside, sabotaging it can effectively trap them. This sets up a prime opportunity for a kill in a secluded environment.
- Preventing Task Completion: The Greenhouse typically houses several tasks. Locking it down prevents crewmates from completing these, thereby increasing pressure and slowing down the task bar's progress.
- Creating Diversions: A Greenhouse sabotage can effectively draw attention away from another part of the map, allowing you to execute a kill elsewhere or make a swift vent escape.
- Splitting Up Groups: If a group of crewmates is moving together, sabotaging the Greenhouse can force them to separate, either to address the sabotage or to find alternative routes, creating individual vulnerabilities.
- Timing is Crucial: The most opportune moments to deploy this sabotage are when crewmates are dispersed across the map, or when you know a specific crewmate is in or near the Greenhouse.
How to Execute the Greenhouse Sabotage:
- Access the Sabotage Map: Open your sabotage interface.
- Locate the Greenhouse Icon: The Greenhouse will have a distinct icon on the map.
- Activate the Sabotage: Press the sabotage button.
Countering the Greenhouse Sabotage (as Crewmate):
- Be Aware of Your Surroundings: If you find yourself in or near the Greenhouse when it's sabotaged, exercise caution. An Impostor may be lurking.
- Do Not Get Trapped: If the Greenhouse doors lock while you are outside, do not attempt to force entry. Seek an alternative route or wait for the sabotage to expire.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you witness an Impostor initiating the Greenhouse sabotage, report it immediately.
The Greenhouse sabotage is a versatile tool for controlling the game's tempo, creating kill opportunities, and fostering discord among the crewmates.
