Icebox A Site tips

  1. 01Hold A Belt or A Rafters early, because from there you can see most of the bombsite and call out pushes before they reach the plant.
  2. 02Rotate through mid into the A screens to skip most of the A elevations, and use that route when the belt and nest are locked down.
  3. 03Watch for zipline rushes at A Zip and nest pushes at A Nest, and use a utility or a cover player to slow them down before they reach the plant zone.
