Armory Lockers / Archives

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

Be one of the first into the bomb room — with a teammate right behind you.

Your gadget: Candelas. Cluster flash devices that can be thrown or cooked through soft walls.

  1. Go this way: East Stairs → Red Hallway → Offices Hallway
  2. Go this way: West side → West Balcony
  3. Danger — an enemy often holds here: Fountain hold
  4. Open this thin wall / floor: Archives east wall — open it if left soft
  5. 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 go in alone. Wait for a teammate.
  • Don’t rush in before someone has checked the room with a drone.
  • 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

Take Offices and Fountain, then the breach.

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

Entry (your main job)

Swing Offices and Fountain with a trade partner, then push the Archives breach.

With Candelas: Throw or stick a Candela into site through the breach just before the push so defenders are flashed as your team enters.

Plant support (if the team needs it)

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

With Candelas: Keep one Candela for the plant: flash defenders peeking the planter.

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

  • Throwing Candelas without teammates ready to enter.
  • Pushing Archives while Fountain can shoot your back.
  • 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.
