Tactical map in review

The basics

Objective
Both teams fight for one control point on the current sub-map. Hold it to build capture progress. The first team to win two rounds takes the match.
Where you spawn
Teams start at opposite ends of each sub-map and reach the point from two sides.

Beginner tips

  • On City Center, watch the road next to the point: cars hit hard.
  • Gardens is open, so fight around cover instead of in the middle.
  • Check which sub-map loaded before choosing a hero.
