A Dropon Fracture

Around it

Callouts near A Drop

• A SiteThe plant zone on the left wing of the map that every A-side route feeds into, and the reference point for calls such as A Hall, A Main, and A Link.
• A LinkA southern entry into A Site, one of the routes that feeds attackers in from the bottom of the map alongside A Main and A Rope.
• A DishThe satellite-dish area on the A side, where a lurker can cover an attacker push or a rotation, so defenders often keep someone watching it.
• A SandThe sandy area between A Rope and A Main, the open space attackers cross on their way onto A.
• A RopeThe area beside the A Hall door where a defender can listen to pushes, and the path attackers use to reach the Defender Side Spawn.
• A MainThe attacker route onto A Site that runs beside A Hall, usually regarded as the strongest defensive angle on A, and the call for a push on the front of the site.

Playing it

Fracture A Site tips

1. 01Put one player on A Rope to hear pushes through the A Hall door and a second on A Dish to catch lurkers coming from the satellite area.
2. 02When you lose A Main or A Hall, fall back toward the Defender Side Spawn and retake with the team, because attackers have several entries and holding alone is costly.
3. 03As an attacker, use the plant behind the box on the lower level, which was the most popular plant spot in playtest, and avoid A Drop unless you can cover the noise of the drop.
