  1. Go this way: Warehouse Stairs → Warehouse → Catwalk
  2. Plant the defuser here: Command, against the Catwalk wall
  3. After the plant, hold here: Catwalk, watching the breach
  4. After the plant, hold here: Command Hallway

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

Hold the plant from two angles.

Team goal: Take Warehouse and Catwalk, open the Command wall from Catwalk and hit Command from two sides.

Plant support (your main job)

After the plant, hold Catwalk and Command Hallway; deny the Servers door.

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

Generator (west) for the West Stairs and Warehouse Stairs. Helipad (south) for the Containers Stairs to the east balconies.

  • Warehouse Stairs up into Warehouse and Catwalk — the main lane.
  • West Stairs to Blue Balcony for the Command Hallway side.
  • Containers Stairs to IT Balcony / Electrical Balcony for Connector and Servers.

Drone checklist

  • Command corners away from the Catwalk wall.
  • Servers and the divider between Command and Servers (the rotate).
  • IT and Electrical for a roamer who flanks Catwalk.
  • Connector and Meeting Hallway on the east side.

  11. Hard breach: Command wall — breach it from Catwalk
  12. Soft breach: Command Hallway ↔ Command wall — open it if not reinforced

  14. Hold: Warehouse Stairs (flank)
  15. Hard breach: Servers wall — backup breach from Connector

Team execute

  1. Walk up the Warehouse Stairs into Warehouse and Catwalk; one player takes the West Stairs to Blue Balcony.
  2. Drone Command, Servers and Connector; clear the roamer in IT and Electrical.
  3. The anti-gadget player clears the Command wall from Catwalk, then the hard breacher opens it.
  4. Push Command through the breach while the Blue Balcony player swings Command Hallway.
  5. Plant Command and hold Catwalk, Command Hallway and the Warehouse Stairs.

Plant

Plant Command against the Catwalk wall right after it opens, so the players in Catwalk and Command Hallway both see the defuser. Servers is planted from Connector once its wall is open.

Post-plant positions

  • Catwalk / Warehouse, looking through the breach
  • Command Hallway (west)
  • Connector, watching Servers
  • Warehouse Stairs (flank)

Pitfalls

  • Relying on the shield in close range fights where it’s easily shot off.
  • Planting in the middle of Command where Servers can see it.
  • Rushing Catwalk before IT is cleared.
  • Only playing the west balcony — it is easy to deny.
  • Planting Servers while Command is still held.

If defenders…

  • If the Catwalk wall is double-denied, go east: take Connector from the balconies and breach the Servers wall.
  • If defenders stack Command, plant Servers from Connector and play the Electrical side.
