Your job
  • Reinforce the Archives wall to the Offices Hallway first.

  2. Reinforce this wall: Archives wall to the Offices Hallway (far east) — Closes the rest of the same wall.
  3. Reinforce this wall: Archives wall to the Offices Hallway (west of the door) — No free breach next to the door.

  5. Reinforce this wall: Wall from the West Balcony into the room beside Armory Desk — Stops the West Balcony breach towards Armory.
  6. Reinforce this wall: Armory Desk west wall — Second layer on the Armory side.

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.

  1. Reinforce: Archives wall to the Offices Hallway (east of the door) — The main breach wall once attackers take Offices.
  2. Reinforce: Archives wall to the Offices Hallway (far east) — Closes the rest of the same wall.

  4. Reinforce: Archives east wall — Attackers from the North Balcony side open it for a second angle.
  5. Reinforce: Wall from the West Balcony into the room beside Armory Desk — Stops the West Balcony breach towards Armory.
  6. Reinforce: Armory Desk west wall — Second layer on the Armory side.
  7. Rotation hole: Archives ↔ Red Hallway (between the sites) — Fast rotate from Archives to Armory.
  8. Gadget (Mute): Jammer on the Archives breach wall — Blocks Thermite/Hibana/Ace charges.
  9. Gadget (Mira): Mirror on the west part, facing the Offices Hallway — Watches the breach wall and the door from inside Archives.
  10. Gadget (Kaid): Claw on the Archives east wall — Keeps the second breach denied.
  11. Stand here: Archives, north-west corner — Behind the Mira, away from both breach walls.
  12. Stand here: Armory Lockers — Covers the West Balcony side and the rotate.
  13. Roam: Roamer: Red Hallway (east) → Offices — Delay attackers taking Offices, the room they breach from.

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.

How the five fit together

  • Mute and Kaid keep both Archives walls safe; Mira watches the Offices Hallway.
  • One roamer fights early in Fountain and Offices; one watches CCTV / the West Balcony.
  • Smoke or Maestro stays near the plant to deny the defuse.

What attackers try — and your answer

  • Breach from the Offices Hallway → Mute jammer plus a late trade from the north-west corner.
  • West Balcony pinch → the Armory anchor rotates back through the Red Hallway.
  • North Balcony pressure on the east wall → Kaid claw and a camera watching the balcony.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Giving up Offices and Fountain for free — that is where the breach starts.
  • Leaving the West Balcony wall open — attackers walk into Armory.
  • Opening the Archives door side as a rotate — it becomes an attacker angle.

2. Armory Desk and Fountain hold

Play further forward: reinforce Fountain and the west side, anchor in Armory Desk with a Mira, and make attackers fight through the middle before they reach Archives.

How the five fit together

  • Mira in Armory Desk holds the west; Bandit keeps the Archives wall safe.
  • Melusi in the Red Hallway slows anyone coming from the Main Stairs.
  • Three anchors spread over Armory Desk, the Red Hallway and Archives; one roamer on the East Stairs.

What attackers try — and your answer

  • Attackers take Fountain → the reinforced west wall keeps them out of the Red Hallway; trade from Archives.
  • West Balcony breach → Mira sees it; the Armory Desk anchor holds the side room.
  • Hard breach from the Offices Hallway → Bandit trick and a swing from the Red Hallway rotate.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Three players in the middle and nobody watching Archives — attackers breach and plant fast.
  • Opening too many rotates — every hole is also an attacker angle.
  • The roamer dying early on the East Stairs for nothing.
