Cocktail Lounge / Bar
Draft – not yet verified in-gamePlaying soloJust you and random teammates — a simple plan
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.
- Go this way: White Stairs → Cocktail Entrance
- Send your drone here: Drone Bar and the Cocktail doorway
- Danger — an enemy often holds here: Storage anchor
- Plant the defuser here: Bar, behind the counter near 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 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 Cocktail and Storage anchors.
Team goal: Win the top of the map (roof, Cigar, Piano), open the reinforced Bar wall from the Piano-side corridor and plant Bar while White Stairs is watched.
Intel (your main job)
Drone Cigar, Storage and the Cocktail doorway before the breach.
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)
After the plant, play the breach and Cigar Balcony; deny the Cocktail doorway.
With EE-ONE-D: Save a scan for post-plant: defenders trying to defuse must move and get pinged.
Spawn & approach
River Docks (north) or Christmas Market (west) for the roof. Park (south) for the White Stairs player.
- Climb to the roof and open the Red Hatch (over Red Stairs) and New Hatch (over Cigar Balcony).
- Take Cigar and Piano together — one player alone gets traded.
- Send one player up White Stairs to cut the defenders who rotate from 2F.
Drone checklist
- Cigar and Piano first (early defender holds).
- Storage and the Cocktail Lounge doorway (common anchor spots).
- White Corridor and Bathroom for a roamer coming up White Stairs.
- Behind the Bar counter.
Team map
- Move: White Stairs → Cocktail Entrance
- Drone: Drone Bar and the Cocktail doorway
- Enemy likely: Storage anchor
- Enemy likely: Cocktail Lounge anchor
- Plant: Bar, behind the counter near the breach
- Hold: Corridor by Piano, watching the breach
- Hold: Cigar Balcony, watching Bar
- Move: Roof → New Hatch → Cigar → Piano → corridor
- Move: Roof → Red Hatch → Red Stairs → Cigar
- Vertical: Red Hatch (roof) drops into Red Stairs
- Vertical: New Hatch (roof) drops into Cigar Balcony
- Hard breach: Bar wall — breach it from the Piano-side corridor
- Move: Push through the breach into Bar
- Hold: White Corridor (flank)
- Hard breach: Bar → Cocktail wall (backup, from Bar)
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
- Two players take the roof and drop the Red Hatch and New Hatch into Red Stairs and Cigar Balcony.
- Clear Cigar and Piano together, then hold the corridor next to Piano.
- One player comes up White Stairs to White Corridor and Cocktail Entrance.
- The anti-gadget player clears the Bar wall on the corridor side, then the hard breacher opens it.
- Push Bar from the breach and Cigar Balcony at the same time; plant behind the counter.
Plant
Plant Bar behind the counter, close to the south wall you opened, so the players in the Piano-side corridor and on Cigar Balcony can both see the defuser. Cocktail Lounge is the plant once the Cocktail anchor is dead.
Post-plant positions
- Piano-side corridor, looking through the breach
- Cigar Balcony / Wood Stairs, looking into Bar
- White Corridor / Cocktail Entrance (flank)
- Red Stairs (flank)
Pitfalls
- Scanning while the team isn’t ready to take advantage of it.
- Getting your drone shot on the open Bar floor.
- Planting in the middle of Bar where Cocktail can see you.
- Rushing through one hatch into a waiting Cigar defender.
- Ignoring White Stairs — the easiest flank on 3F.
- Planting Bar while the Cocktail Lounge anchor is alive and watching.
If defenders…
- If the Bar wall is denied, take Bar through Cigar Balcony / Wood Stairs and open the Bar → Cocktail wall for Cocktail.
- If defenders stack Storage, open its walls from the corridor or Bathroom for extra angles.
- If the roof is locked down, come up Red Stairs and White Stairs instead.
