- Defender Side SpawnThe defender starting area. B Link and B Tower both lead out from here toward the back of B and mid.
- Mid TopThe upper part of mid near Mid Library, and the jump-off point for reaching Mid 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
