## Slayer

The best trick to win on this map is hold rocket launcher, as a small map rocket launcher can kills enemies really fast. One player should get camouflage, rocket launcher, and hold top mid. Second player should take overshield and hold top red or top blue. It's beter to hold top red for two facts : First of all on top red you're more covered, second fact by holding top red you block spawn on front red, on front blue there are more spawn points, so you can easily spawn kill enemies. Player that hold top red or top blue can take a sniper rifle to have a higher advantage. Avoid campin inside bases and holdin creek, or simpy passin through creek, unless its really needed. Also avoid passin through blue yard (needler side) since its a really open space and its easy to get killed. 4v4 strategies should be the same as 2v2, except that holdin red is vital. As always, camo rocket guy on top mid, second player on top red, a third one can hold top red watchin the back port, and a fourth one on red sniper or red yard

## Capture The Flag

In capture the flag red team and blue team both spawn in their respective bases (Red flag , Blue Flag). There are some changes between Slayer and CTF locations ;

* Overshield moved to camo cave

* Now there are two camouflages, one in back red and one in back blue.

* Medikit in back blue is removed, there are two new medikits, one near camo cave in front blue, and one near dark cave in front red for a total of three medikits.

### Flag locations

* Red Flag : Red Flag
* Blue Flag : Blue Flag

### Flag Pulling

The best pull method on this map is use the portals, and lot of teamwork. Use this method for an easy and quick cap ;

Player 1 and Player 2 push to the enemy base, Player 3 stay in top mid with and Player 4 on Top of you're base. Player 1 and Player 2 go on top of the enemy base, right above the flag. Player 1 drop down in enemy flag, take the flag, jump, and pass it to player 2. Player 2 port back to your base and pass flag to the guy on top of your base. Player 4 drop down in you're base and cap. This method is really usefull since it skip like 10/15 seconds to exit enemy base. Avoid pulling flag straight trough creek cause it's a really bad choice. Enemy players will kill you really fast.

* You can directly jump up to Top red or Top blue with a grenade in the lower part of the wall in Red Yard or Blue Yard

* You can jump up on the portals with a grenade

* You can jump up to Top red or Top blue with a grenade on the flag platform ( this can be really usefull if you get chased )

* Small Trees on the map are not solid , so you can walk into them and hit players behind them
