Map Updates

Arcade

• Opened a cubby here to make it easier for Attacking side to hold against Defender aggression from both directions.****

B site

• Jump up has been changed to a ramp directly onto the site platform, which should make moving around that space more straightforward.

B Generator

• Space here tightened slightly to make smoking this spot easier. A small corner has also been removed to simplify attempts to re-clear the site.

Defender Spawn

• A small cubby has been removed to slightly simplify those retakes.

A Halls

• The space has been simplified and movement has been improved in A Halls by removing a corner.

A Site

• A minor simplification of the space as part of the overall changes to the surrounding areas.

A Dish

• The far path of the dish has been removed as it was hard for players to watch/control both spaces. This route might be used more often in the future.

A Drop

• It is not a 50/50 check from now on when entering. It is made to make the dish route more favorable.

A Rope

• The adjustments will give Defenders more options as it was easier for Attackers to control it with a single smoke.
