Around it

Callouts near A Link

• A SiteThe smaller of the two bombsites, which the A Elbow, A Link and A Alley routes all feed into.
• A AlleyA back passage on the A side full of deep corners and tight 90-degree turns, so defenders can hold A from here and attackers need utility to clear it. It connects toward the upper defender spawn area.
• A ElbowA bend on the approach to A Site, reached from Mid along a connector route; attackers usually take it early because it makes holding the spike easier.
• A MainThe open fighting ground that sits just past A Lobby, where most of the A-side action takes place.
• Mid BoxThe box in the middle of Mid Courtyard, the only cover for players crossing mid.
• A LobbyThe exit from the attacker spawn that leads into A Main; it works as a choke point close to Mid Tiles and A Elbow.

Sunset A Site tips

1. 01Take A Elbow early, since holding it makes it much easier to keep the spike covered.
2. 02A Site sits far from Mid Courtyard, so defenders struggle to rotate there after a plant; time your pushes around that gap.
3. 03Clear A Alley and A Lobby with flashes before peeking, because its deep corners punish a blind entry.
