  1. Go this way: East Stairs → Red Hallway → Offices Hallway
  2. Plant the defuser here: Archives, behind the breach
  3. After the plant, hold here: Offices Hallway, watching the breach
  4. After the plant, hold here: Fountain

Red A/B circles are the two bomb spots. Numbers on the map match this list. Positions are drawn on Ubisoft's official blueprint and are approximate.

Don’t do this
  • Don’t plant in the middle of the room where everyone can see you.
  • Don’t stand in the same spot as your teammates after the plant.
  • Playing with strangers? Ping (mark) enemies and walls so your team knows.
Playing with a teamFull plan: every role, drones, breach, plant and what to do if it goes wrong

Keep the plant alive.

Team goal: Take Offices and Fountain, open Archives from the Offices Hallway and add a second angle from the west side.

Plant support (your main job)

Cover Archives from the Offices Hallway and Fountain; deny the Red Hallway door after the plant.

With Rifle Shield: Hold the marked post-plant angle (usually a doorway or window defenders must peek to defuse) with the rifle shield up.

Spawn & approach

East Vehicle Entrance for the East Stairs and Balcony Stairs. The west Parking side for the West Balcony player.

  • Enter through the East Stairs and clear the east Red Hallway, Offices and Fountain.
  • Use the Balcony Stairs and North Balcony for extra pressure on the Archives side.
  • Send one player to the West Balcony to threaten Armory Desk and Armory Lockers.

Drone checklist

  • Offices and Fountain (early defender holds).
  • Archives corners away from the Offices Hallway wall.
  • The Red Hallway between Armory and Archives — the defenders' rotate.
  • CCTV and the West Balcony for roamers.

Red A/B circles are the two bomb spots. Numbers on the map match this list. Positions are drawn on Ubisoft's official blueprint and are approximate.

Team execute

  1. Come up the East Stairs into the east Red Hallway; one player takes the Balcony Stairs to the North Balcony.
  2. Clear Offices and Fountain, and drone Archives and the Red Hallway between the two sites.
  3. The anti-gadget player clears the Archives ↔ Offices Hallway wall; the hard breacher opens it.
  4. Push Archives through the breach while a West Balcony player pressures Armory.
  5. Plant Archives and spread to the hold spots.

Plant

Plant Archives right behind the Offices Hallway breach, so the Offices Hallway and Fountain players both cover it. Armory Lockers is planted from Armory Desk once the Armory anchors are dead.

Post-plant positions

  • Offices Hallway, looking through the breach
  • Fountain
  • Red Hallway (east) / East Stairs (flank)
  • West Balcony, watching Armory

Pitfalls

  • Relying on the shield in close range fights where it’s easily shot off.
  • Planting deep in Archives where only one teammate can see it.
  • Walking the east Red Hallway without droning Fountain.
  • Opening holes for noise instead of angles.
  • Letting the West Balcony side go unwatched.

If defenders…

  • If the Archives wall is denied, pinch Armory from the West Balcony and plant Armory Lockers.
  • If Offices is stacked, take it with flashes and frags before anything else.
