Don’t do this
  • Don’t lose your drone in the first seconds — hide it in a corner.
  • Don’t keep what you see to yourself. Tell your team or ping it.
  • 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

Find the anchors and the roamers.

Team goal: Take the rooms next to the site, open one reinforced wall and hit the anchors from two sides plus the floor above.

Intel (your main job)

Drone Bar or Kitchen first, then Pantry, Lounge and Ninety. Call the Mira and the Pantry player.

With Electronics Detector: Walk the entry route with the detector out and call every electronic gadget and defender carrying one near the site.

Anti-gadget (if the team needs it)

Clear Bandit, Kaid or Mute on the marked wall, then any Mira or camera watching the plant.

With Electronics Detector: Shoot the gadgets you detect through soft walls — especially cameras and jammers covering the plant.

Spawn & approach

Stables / Gardens side (west) for Bar / Lounge. Back Entrance (north) or the Front Yard / Lobby (south) for Dining / Kitchen.

  • Bar / Lounge: Stock and the Pool wall from the Gardens, plus the Exterior Stairs to the 2F Terrace and Trophy.
  • Dining / Kitchen: Back Entrance into the Fountain rooms, and the Lobby into Ninety.
  • Clear 2F first on either site — defenders above can open the floor on you and use the hatches.

Drone checklist

  • Bar corners behind the counter and next to the Stock wall.
  • Lounge and Ninety for a defender waiting on the rotate.
  • Pantry — the room defenders want most on Dining / Kitchen.
  • Kitchen, Dining and the 2F rooms above them (Ceramic, Private Gallery).

  1. Move: Gardens → Stock window
  2. Drone: Drone Bar through the Stock door
  3. Enemy likely: Bar anchor behind the counter
  4. Enemy likely: Lounge anchor
  5. Hard breach: Bar wall — breach it from Stock
  6. Move: Gardens → Pool wall
  7. Vertical: Hatch from 2F Trophy drops into Bar
  8. Vertical: 2F Admin floor above Lounge
  9. Move: Push through the breach into Bar
  10. Plant: Bar, on the Stock side
  11. Plant: Lounge (backup), near the Pool door
  12. Hold: Stock, watching the breach
  13. Hold: Pool, holding the doors
  14. Hold: Ninety (flank)
  15. Hard breach: Bar wall from Pool (backup)

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. Take the west side: one player goes into Stock, two go to the Pool wall from the Gardens.
  2. One player goes up the Exterior Stairs to the 2F Terrace and takes Trophy, above Bar.
  3. The anti-gadget player clears the Bar wall from Stock, then the hard breacher opens it.
  4. Push Bar from the breach and the Pool door at the same time; Trophy opens the hatch.
  5. Plant Bar on the Stock side and spread out to the hold spots.

Plant

Plant Bar right after the Stock wall opens, on the Stock side of the room, so the players in Stock and Pool both see the defuser. Lounge is the backup plant from Pool or Ninety.

Post-plant positions

  • Stock, looking through the breach
  • Pool, holding the Bar door
  • Ninety, watching the Lounge side
  • 2F Trophy, playing the hatch over Bar

  1. Move: Back Entrance → East Fountain
  2. Drone: Drone Kitchen and Pantry
  3. Enemy likely: Pantry anchor (sees Kitchen and Dining)
  4. Hard breach: Kitchen wall — breach it from Fireplace
  5. Move: Front Yard → Lobby → Ninety
  6. Vertical: Hatch from the 2F Private Gallery into Dining
  7. Vertical: 2F Ceramic floor above Kitchen
  8. Hard breach: Dining wall — breach it from Ninety
  9. Move: Push through the breach into Kitchen
  10. Plant: Kitchen, near the Fireplace wall
  11. Plant: Dining (backup), near the Ninety wall
  12. Hold: Fireplace, watching the breach
  13. Hold: East Fountain, holding the Kitchen door
  14. Hold: Ninety, watching Dining
  15. Hard breach: Pantry outside wall (from Delivery / Trash)

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. Enter from the Back Entrance and the Lobby; take East Fountain, Fireplace and Ninety.
  2. One player clears the 2F rooms above (Ceramic and the Private Gallery) for vertical.
  3. The anti-gadget player clears the Kitchen wall from Fireplace, then the hard breacher opens it.
  4. Push Kitchen through the breach and the East Fountain door while Ninety watches the Dining door.
  5. Plant Kitchen (or Dining from Ninety) and hold from Fireplace, Ninety and 2F.

Plant

Plant Kitchen near the Fireplace wall once it is open, so Fireplace and East Fountain cover it. Dining is the backup: plant it close to the Ninety wall so Ninety and the 2F hatch see the defuser.

Post-plant positions

  • Fireplace, looking through the breach
  • East Fountain, holding the Kitchen door
  • Ninety, watching Dining
  • 2F Private Gallery, playing the hatch over Dining

Pitfalls

  • Scanning while exposed to a roamer.
  • Calling everything — only call what changes the plan.
  • Leaving your drone in the open where it gets shot.
  • Clearing too early and giving the defenders time to put gadgets back.
  • Going into 1F without clearing 2F above — both 1F sites are covered from the floor above.
  • Ignoring Pantry on Dining / Kitchen: the defender there sees both rooms.
  • Pushing Bar only through Pool — it is the door the defenders watch first.

If defenders…

  • If the Bar wall from Stock is denied, open the Pool wall instead and plant Lounge from Pool.
  • If Pantry is stacked, skip Kitchen: open the Dining wall from Ninety and plant Dining.
  • If defenders hold 2F hard, take it slowly with three players and only then go down.
