A Linkon Abyss

Around it

Callouts near A Link

• A SecretA narrow ledge on the outer edge of the A side, reached by a hard jump across. It is a shortcut for players with strong movement, and a missed jump sends them off the map.
• Mid TopThe upper part of mid near Mid Library, and the jump-off point for reaching Mid Catwalk.
• A SecurityThe spot tucked behind the large structure on A Site.
• A TowerThe raised spot overlooking A Site, reached by the A ascender or by breaking the vent from mid. Holding it gives height over the site and makes retakes harder.
• A VentA pair of breakable vent doors, each with 120 HP, linking A Site to mid. Once broken, the route stays open, and it is also the path toward A Tower from the Catwalk.
• A SiteThe A bombsite itself. Other A-side callouts, from A Tower above to A Vent and A Main below, are all named relative to it.

Abyss A Site tips

1. 01Clear Sentinel utility such as trapwires and nanobots before the team pushes through A Main, because the entry is wide enough for the whole team to go together.
2. 02Split the attack so that a pair enters through A Vent while a trio holds A Main, which forces defenders to cover two entry lanes.
3. 03On defence, hold the high ground with a sniper who keeps moving, and stack utility in the narrow A entries so flankers coming through mid are caught early.
