Callouts near A Main

• A RaftersA fallback spot beside A Tower, used by a defender who has been pushed off Ramps.
• A RampsThe ramp that climbs from A Main onto A Site and is the main entry point. Calling it tells the team who is holding the top of the ramp and who is pushing up it.
• A LobbySits above the A Sewer and is reached from there by an ascender, so the call means someone is coming up out of the sewer toward the A side.
• A SiteThe A bombsite, at the opposite end of the map from B Site and reached through A Main and the A Ramps. Teams use it to report plants and enemies on the site.
• A SewerA passage on the A side that links toward Mid and, through an ascender, up to A Lobby. Calling it warns that enemies may come through the sewer into Mid or onto the A side.

Split A Site tips

1. 01Take A Main and the Ramps before pushing the site. Holding the top of Ramps gives a wide view, but it is usually the first place defenders check on a retake.
2. 02After taking A, clear A Tower (Heaven). A vent drops from there into Mid, so defenders can use it to rotate.
3. 03On defense, put one player on Screens for information and one at the top of Ramps who falls back to Rafters when pushed. Watch for pushes coming up from Mid.
