Locations

Blu Spawn

• Blu Spawn Interior: This mineshaft has three exits, left, right and center. The right exit is the longest, the left and center exit are the shortest. While the left exit does have a resupply cabinet, it also has a ramp nearby leading straight to the exit doors, making it very venerable to enemy fire and especially projectiles when they are open.
• The Canyon: A long, narrow and straight trench that cuts through the battleground and leads right to the backdoor of Control Point A and Tunnel Entrances. It tends to attract Snipers of both teams.
• Left Exit Shed: Beside the exit sits a shed with a ladder to the roof. Inside contains a large health and ammo kit. The path leads straight to Control Point A's front door, making it a highly contested area.
• Right Exit Shed: Beside the exit sits a shed that contains a large health and ammo kit, this one however has two doors. The path leads into the Canyons exit point.
