A Gateon Fracture

Around it

Callouts near A Gate

• 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.
• Attacker Side BridgeAttacker-side bridge that leads from Attacker Side Spawn into the B Bench ramp, so it is the attacker route toward B rather than a bridge over the map centre.
• A DropA northern entry into A Site from the raised box area, where a defender can jump down while an attacker dropping in makes enough noise to be heard.
• 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.
• Defender Side SpawnThe central defender spawn in the middle of the H, above the zipline, and the only efficient connector between the A and B sites, which makes it the main rotation point.
• B BenchLane area on the B side, reached from Attacker Side Bridge.

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.
