Armory Lockers / Archives
Draft – not yet verified in-gamePlaying soloJust you and random teammates — a simple plan
Be one of the first into the bomb room — with a teammate right behind you.
Your gadget: G52 Flash Shield. Ballistic shield that fires short-range flashes.
- Go this way: East Stairs → Red Hallway → Offices Hallway
- Go this way: West side → West Balcony
- Danger — an enemy often holds here: Fountain hold
- Open this thin wall / floor: Archives east wall — open it if left soft
- Plant the defuser here: Archives, behind the breach
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 go in alone. Wait for a teammate.
- Don’t rush in before someone has checked the room with a drone.
- 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
Take Offices and Fountain, then the breach.
Team goal: Take Offices and Fountain, open Archives from the Offices Hallway and add a second angle from the west side.
Entry (your main job)
Swing Offices and Fountain with a trade partner, then push the Archives breach.
With G52 Flash Shield: Lead the push through the entry route shield-first, flash the first defender you meet and let the teammate behind you get the kill.
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.
Team map
- Move: East Stairs → Red Hallway → Offices Hallway
- Move: West side → West Balcony
- Enemy likely: Fountain hold
- Enemy likely: Archives anchor
- Soft breach: Archives east wall — open it if left soft
- Move: Push through the breach into Archives
- Plant: Archives, behind the breach
- Move: Balcony Stairs → North Balcony
- Drone: Drone Archives through the Offices Hallway door
- Drone: Drone the Red Hallway rotate
- Enemy likely: Armory Desk anchor or Mira
- Hard breach: Archives wall (east of the door) — breach it from the Offices Hallway
- Hold: Offices Hallway, watching the breach
- Hold: Fountain
- Hold: Red Hallway (east), watching the flank
- Hard breach: Wall from the West Balcony — backup for Armory
- Plant: Armory Lockers (backup plant)
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
- Come up the East Stairs into the east Red Hallway; one player takes the Balcony Stairs to the North Balcony.
- Clear Offices and Fountain, and drone Archives and the Red Hallway between the two sites.
- The anti-gadget player clears the Archives ↔ Offices Hallway wall; the hard breacher opens it.
- Push Archives through the breach while a West Balcony player pressures Armory.
- 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
- Flashing from too far away.
- Walking into a room with multiple angles without a teammate behind you.
- Pushing Archives while Fountain can shoot your back.
- 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.
