Callouts near A Main

• A LobbyThe route that starts at the attacker spawn and leads to A Main.
• 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.
• 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 BridgeA thin platform on the A side that players dash onto, and that also offers a plant option over the drop.
• 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.
• Mid CatwalkAn elevated path across mid. Players reach it by jumping a gap from Mid Top or Mid Library and then using an ascender, and it leads to the vent toward A Tower.

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.
