Tactical map pending verificationThe basics
- Objective
- Attackers escort the payload through two checkpoints to the final stop at the monastery. Defenders try to stop it before time runs out.
- Where you spawn
- Attackers start at the bottom of the mountain. Defenders start above and get a spawn closer to the payload after each checkpoint.
Beginner tips
- The route climbs, so defenders often look down on you. Take high ground before pushing.
- Snowy cliffs border parts of the map: avoid edges near enemies with knockback.
- Regroup before the final climb into the monastery.
