A Hallon Fracture

Around it

Callouts near A Hall

• A DoorThe door set inside the A Hall corridor that opens toward A Rope and the Defender Side Spawn, which is why defenders listen there when a push comes through the hall.
• 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.
• 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 SandThe sandy area between A Rope and A Main, the open space attackers cross on their way onto A.
• ZiplineThe one-way ziplines under Defender Spawn that carry attackers between the two halves of their spawn.
• Attacker Side SpawnOne of the two attacker spawns, placed at opposite ends of the H-shaped map, from which attackers ride a one-way zipline to the far end, which is why the spawn split matters for defense.

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.
