Draft – not yet verified in-game
Playing soloJust you and random teammates — a simple plan
Your mission

Find where the enemies are hiding and tell your team.

Your gadget: EE-ONE-D. Drone scan that reveals defenders who move while it is active.

  1. Go this way: Balcony Stairs → North Balcony
  2. Send your drone here: Drone Archives through the Offices Hallway door
  3. Danger — an enemy often holds here: Fountain hold
  4. 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 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 west-side roamer.

Team goal: Take Offices and Fountain, open Archives from the Offices Hallway and add a second angle from the west side.

Intel (your main job)

Drone Offices, Fountain and Archives first; call the Mira and the Armory anchor.

With EE-ONE-D: Fire the scan right as the team starts the final push (or the plant) so defenders who reposition get revealed.

Plant support (if the team needs it)

Cover Archives from the Offices Hallway and Fountain; deny the Red Hallway door after the plant.

With EE-ONE-D: Save a scan for post-plant: defenders trying to defuse must move and get pinged.

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.

  1. Move: Balcony Stairs → North Balcony
  2. Drone: Drone Archives through the Offices Hallway door
  3. Drone: Drone the Red Hallway rotate
  4. Enemy likely: Fountain hold
  5. Enemy likely: Archives anchor
  6. Enemy likely: Armory Desk anchor or Mira
  7. Plant: Archives, behind the breach
  8. Hold: Offices Hallway, watching the breach
  9. Hold: Fountain
  10. Plant: Armory Lockers (backup plant)
  11. Move: East Stairs → Red Hallway → Offices Hallway
  12. Move: West side → West Balcony
  13. Hard breach: Archives wall (east of the door) — breach it from the Offices Hallway
  14. Soft breach: Archives east wall — open it if left soft
  15. Move: Push through the breach into Archives
  16. Hold: Red Hallway (east), watching the flank
  17. 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

  1. Come up the East Stairs into the east Red Hallway; one player takes the Balcony Stairs to the North Balcony.
  2. Clear Offices and Fountain, and drone Archives and the Red Hallway between the two sites.
  3. The anti-gadget player clears the Archives ↔ Offices Hallway wall; the hard breacher opens it.
  4. Push Archives through the breach while a West Balcony player pressures Armory.
  5. 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

  • Scanning while the team isn’t ready to take advantage of it.
  • Leaving CCTV and the West Balcony unscouted.
  • 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.
