  1. Go this way: Pool side terrace → Kitchen wall
  2. Go this way: Bridge → Credit
  3. Open this thin wall / floor: Kitchen outside wall (open from the terrace)
  4. Plant the defuser here: Pool, close to the Lobby wall
  5. After the plant, hold here: Main Stairs (flank)

Don’t do this
  • Don’t leave your spot to chase kills.
  • Don’t stand where no teammate can help you.
  • 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 Main Stairs and Aqua Stairs behind the team.

Team goal: Take the 2F Main Lobby and Credit, open the reinforced Pool wall and plant Pool with two angles covering it.

Flank watch (your main job)

Watch the Main Stairs and the Aqua side during the execute.

With Trax Stingers: Throw Trax on the flank route marked on the map to slow roamers and make them noisy.

Plant support (if the team needs it)

After the plant, hold the Lobby breach and Credit; deny Stick and the Minibar door.

With Trax Stingers: Throw Trax on the defuser’s path after the plant.

Spawn & approach

Ruins side (Main Door → Main Stairs) for the Lobby breach. Crane side for the Bridge. Pool side for the Tequila Door / terrace.

  • Main Stairs up to the 2F Main Lobby — the main lane to the Pool wall.
  • The Bridge (Crane side) into Credit, south of Pool.
  • The Pool side terrace and Tequila Door for Kitchen; the roof and crane for rappel pressure.

Drone checklist

  • Pool and Cigar anchors, and the opening between the two rooms.
  • Minibar and Barista — defenders hold the Lobby from there.
  • Smoking and Aqua, where a roamer waits for the Aqua Stairs push.
  • Heaven, Rope and Coat for roamers who spawn-peek the Main Stairs.

  13. Move: Push through the breach into Pool
  14. Hard breach: Cigar wall — second breach from Kitchen

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 Main Stairs into the 2F Main Lobby. One player takes the Bridge into Credit, one takes the Pool side terrace to the Tequila Door.
  2. Drone Pool, Cigar, Minibar and Barista.
  3. The anti-gadget player clears the Pool wall from the Main Lobby, then the hard breacher opens it.
  4. Push Pool through the breach while the Credit player peeks Stick and the west player opens Kitchen.
  5. Plant Pool; open Cigar from Kitchen or Smoking only if you need it.

Plant

Plant Pool right after the Main Lobby wall opens, close to that wall, so the players in the 2F Main Lobby and Credit both cover it. Cigar is planted from Kitchen or Smoking once Pool is clear.

Post-plant positions

  • 2F Main Lobby, looking through the breach
  • Credit, watching Stick
  • Kitchen / Tequila Door (west flank)
  • Main Stairs (flank from 1F)

Pitfalls

  • Throwing Trax where your own team needs to rotate.
  • Letting a roamer come up the Main Stairs behind the plant.
  • Planting in the middle of Pool where Cigar and Minibar see it.
  • Rushing the Main Stairs into a spawn-peek from Coat or Heaven.
  • Only playing the terrace — it is easy to deny from Kitchen.
  • Planting Cigar while Pool is still held.

If defenders…

  • If the Pool wall is denied, breach Cigar from Kitchen (terrace side) or Smoking instead.
  • If defenders stack Pool, plant Cigar and play Kitchen and Smoking.
