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.
