B Web site to A Web site Teleporter

Nonetheless, with good timing and utility from you, this particular teleporter is now a extra viable choice.
Wider Doorways

Nonetheless, practically each doorway has been widened. Each doorway on A Web site, aside from these round Truck, and the entry doorway to B Web site from the Defenders facet has been widened. It will in the end make getting onto websites simpler throughout the board, in flip encouraging gunfights and competitors.
A Web site Crates
The structure of the Radianite crates on A Web site has been adjusted. As a substitute of three columns of two, there shall be two columns of two and a row of two beside it. This serves a number of functions.
First, it provides the Attackers a bit extra safety when planting the Spike. Whereas the Radianite crates are nonetheless in a position to be shot by means of, there’s a bit extra flexibility in the place you may plant behind them. Enemies might want to spray a bit extra in comparison with holding the one spot that was obtainable to plant in. The identical idea applies to these defusing the Spike.
Secondly, it creates a better option to enter and exit the positioning with a bit extra safety. This helps each groups out, which inspires fairer competitors.
Minor Modifications
A Web site can even be getting a barrel behind the positioning. Whereas this isn’t going to offer anybody protection, it might assist with catching enemies off guard. It additionally makes it a bit more durable for these hiding on that wall to rapidly run to security or strafe an excessive amount of.
B Web site can be getting a number of home windows alongside B Corridor, which is able to open up for the opportunity of flashes or different utility coming by means of that wall. It will require teamwork, however it’s a brand new, rewarding option to guarantee that space doesn’t really feel too secluded.
Total, these adjustments don’t actually profit a particular facet of the map. It’s going to make issues a bit extra open and encourage fights in comparison with holding an angle.
