Around it

Callouts near A Secret

• A FlowersAn A Site zone on the far side of the Secret opening, separated from it by a window, and a common target for wall smokes from mid.
• Defender Side WaterThe water route between Defender Spawn and Mid that also gives access toward both sites, so attackers can rotate through it for a surprise push onto B.
• A DugoutA corner inside A Site beside the boxes that is hard to clear in a straight duel, which is why attackers usually clear it early with A Main.
• Defender Side SpawnThe defenders' starting area, which a Killjoy turret can cover to spot approaches and which lurkers use to get information and flank.
• A MainThe main entrance onto A Site, which attackers move through with a push and defenders watch for flanks, and which is often walled off from Mid Doors.
• A SiteThe A bomb site itself, the area where the spike is planted, entered from A Main and A Link.

Pearl A Site tips

1. 01Smoke the Secret and Flowers opening from Mid Plaza before the push, since most flank peeks come through that window.
2. 02Clear Dugout early and in the same push as A Main so the hard corner is not left for a late defender to hold.
3. 03Lurk or Sage-wall Art from Mid Top before committing, because Art has a single entrance and one player there can cut off the flank.
