Weekend 2 Core Map

Babylon


8d419472ba45ae4057918663d83e7b2b03cbc22e.jpg


Battle amongst the ruins of an ancient city, climbing on its crumbled columns and crawling underneath the palace. There’s plenty of verticality to make use of here, so stay limber as you circle the central alter and seek out the best ground. Back out to the chapel or depot for more concealed views or get heated and rush the middle.

Weekend 2 Strike Map

Stakeout


7e867d358482868ea4f14517267803b5269ece19.jpg


A stakeout in the Mediterranean region of Avalon has been compromised as Operators breach the small apartment, battling through the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and spilling out onto the balcony. Leftover surveillance equipment marks the progress of the conducted intel-gathering, a smashed-out wall giving the former agents easy access to their gear.

Weekend 2 Game Modes
