Your job
- Reinforce the Reading Room wall next to Pillar first.
- Stand in the south-east corner of Reading Room, not in the middle.
- Use the Reading Corridor rotate to reach Fireplace Hall fast.
- Reinforce this wall: Reading Room wall to Pillar — The main breach from Main / Pillar.
- Reinforce this wall: Fireplace Hall wall to White Stairs — The breach from the White Stairs side.
- Reinforce this wall: Reading wall to Laundry — Attackers from White Stairs can open Reading from Laundry.
- Open a rotation hole here: Reading Room ↔ Reading Corridor — Short path from Reading Room to Fireplace Hall.
- Hold this spot: Reading Room, south-east corner — Off the breach line and next to the rotate.
- Hold this spot: Fireplace Hall, fireplace side — Covers the White Stairs wall and the hatch.

Playing with a teamEvery wall, rotate, gadget and position — with the reason

- Reinforce: Reading wall to Laundry — Attackers from White Stairs can open Reading from Laundry.
- Rotation hole: Reading Room ↔ Reading Corridor — Short path from Reading Room to Fireplace Hall.
- Gadget (Kaid): Claw on the Pillar wall — Electrifies the main breach wall.
- Gadget (Mute): Jammer by the White Stairs wall — Blocks drones and breach charges on the second wall.
- Gadget (Smoke): Smoke canisters in Reading Room — Deny the plant after the breach.
- Stand here: Reading Room, south-east corner — Off the breach line and next to the rotate.
- Stand here: Fireplace Hall, fireplace side — Covers the White Stairs wall and the hatch.

How the five fit together
- Kaid on the Pillar wall, Mute on the White Stairs side, Smoke in site.
- One or two players hold 3F Bar — it is the attackers' vertical spot.
- The Fireplace Hall anchor also watches the White Stairs wall.
What attackers try — and your answer
- Thermite from Pillar → Kaid claw and trade from the corner.
- Bar floor opened from 3F → move to the edges, let the 3F roamer punish them.
- White Stairs pinch → Mute jammer and the Fireplace Hall anchor.
Mistakes to avoid
- Giving up 3F Bar for free — attackers open the floor above Reading Room.
- Standing in front of the Pillar wall when it blows.
- Leaving Laundry open for a quiet White Stairs breach.
