The map's des encourages aggressive plays and rewards players who can effectively utilize cover and high ground. The central objective areas, often referred to as the "Control Point" and the "Data Center," are key battlegrounds where team coordination is paramount.
When attacking the "Control Point," teams often utilize the "Upper Walkways" to gain an advantage or push through the "Lower Corridors." Defenders will typically set up crossfires from the "Observation Deck" and the "Server Room." The "Server Room" itself is a tight space that can be difficult to assault without proper utility. Abilities like Anvil's barricade can effectively lock down entry points, forcing attackers to find alternative routes or use explosives.

Players attempting to flank should utilize the numerous stairwells and smaller pathways to remain unseen. The "Rooftop Access" points offer another avenue for surprise attacks, but these are often heavily contested. Understanding the sightlines from the various elevated positions, such as the "Helipad," is crucial for both offensive and defensive strategies. Effective use of gadgets like the Stun Grenade can disorient defenders before a push, while offensive players might use a Smoke Grenade to obscure vision and create an opening for their team.
