Around it

Callouts near Mid Pallet

• Mid BoilerA boiler wall in mid that players walk up to when lining up edges, and the spot where both sites are visible from under the tunnel.
• A ScreenThe screened walkways on A that players reach by rotating through mid, which lets them skip most of the A elevations.
• Mid BlueA spot in mid where enemies push up from mid and attacker spawn, and where arrows are aimed from.
• A PipesThe pipes under A Nest on the attacker approach to A, a close angle on anyone walking onto the site.
• B TubeA tube with an entrance on B Site that forms a hard attacking route up into the kitchen. Once attackers get through it they gain heavy cover over the B bombsite.
• A NestA raised structure on A with cylindrical containers out front, visible through an opening from A Belt. It is reached by rope, zipline or ascender, and it is a plant position, so callouts here warn the team of a nest push or a plant.

Icebox Mid tips

1. 01Use Mid Blue as the anchor for lurks and push info, because it is where most mid pushes come through and it can be scanned to both sites.
2. 02Line up your angles with Mid Boiler, since both sites are visible from under the tunnel and the boiler, so holding it gives you early warning for either site.
3. 03Use smokes to block the mid tunnel and the boiler sightlines when you want to rotate safely, and avoid standing still at Mid Pallet for long because it is a common rotation path.
