Armory Lockers / Archives
Draft – not yet verified in-gamePlaying soloJust you and random teammates — a simple plan
Destroy the enemy gadgets that stop your team from breaking walls.
Your gadget: LV Explosive Lance (CSRX 300). Lance that destroys defender gadgets behind walls and floors; long-range bolt-action rifle.
- Go this way: East Stairs → Red Hallway → Offices Hallway
- Send your drone here: Drone Archives through the Offices Hallway door
- Danger — an enemy often holds here: Armory Desk anchor or Mira
- Break this strong wall: Archives wall (east of the door) — breach it from the Offices Hallway
- 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 use your gadgets too early — wait until your wall breaker is ready.
- Don’t waste gadgets on things that don’t matter.
- 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
Clear the Archives wall and the plant watchers.
Team goal: Take Offices and Fountain, open Archives from the Offices Hallway and add a second angle from the west side.
Anti-gadget (your main job)
Clear breach denial on the Archives wall, then any ADS or Mira before utility goes in.
With LV Explosive Lance (CSRX 300): Fire the explosive lance into the marked breach wall to destroy Bandit/Kaid/Mute gadgets behind it, then hold a long angle with the CSRX while the breacher works.
Plant support (if the team needs it)
Cover Archives from the Offices Hallway and Fountain; deny the Red Hallway door after the plant.
With LV Explosive Lance (CSRX 300): Hold a long post-plant angle with the CSRX.
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
- Drone: Drone Archives through the Offices Hallway door
- Enemy likely: Armory Desk anchor or Mira
- Hard breach: Archives wall (east of the door) — breach it from the Offices Hallway
- Plant: Archives, behind the breach
- Hold: Offices Hallway, watching the breach
- Hold: Fountain
- Plant: Armory Lockers (backup plant)
- Move: Balcony Stairs → North Balcony
- Move: West side → West Balcony
- Drone: Drone the Red Hallway rotate
- 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
- Hold: Red Hallway (east), watching the flank
- Hard breach: Wall from the West Balcony — backup for Armory
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
- Firing the lance at the wrong segment of wall.
- Throwing utility into an active Jäger/Wamai.
- 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.
