- Escort the payloadStay next to it to move it
- Checkpoint 1Over the bridges
- Checkpoint 2Spawns move forward again
- Final destinationThe end of the route
Key areas
- Canals
- Water runs beside much of the route. Falling in is deadly.
- Bridges
- Narrow crossings that act as chokes.

Tactical map in reviewThe basics
- Objective
- Attackers escort the payload through two checkpoints to the final stop. Defenders try to stop it before time runs out.
- Where you spawn
- Attackers start at one end of the canal district. Defenders start further along and get a spawn closer to the payload after each checkpoint.
Beginner tips
- Stay away from canal edges when enemies can knock you back.
- Bridges are chokes: cross together and never alone.
- Balconies above the route are good high ground for both teams.
