A Venton Abyss

Around it

Callouts near A Vent

• 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.
• 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.
• Mid LibraryThe rear-central area that links mid to B Site from behind. It is a chokepoint for lurks and mid rushes.
• Mid TopThe upper part of mid near Mid Library, and the jump-off point for reaching Mid Catwalk.
• Mid BottomThe lower mid passage that connects the mid area to B Main. Attackers coming through mid use it to reach the B entrance.
• A LinkThe passage running from mid to the A-side spawn, the back of A and the high ground above the site. It is a common line for rotations and for attackers moving toward A.

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.
