Best Place to Hold Out
Hold Out in the Incubation Area

The best spot to hold out in the R&D lab is located at the walkway in the Incubation area, near the Atrium. This spot usually spawns the Zed near the side where the Atrium is, allowing you to focus on one side without much threat from behind.
This holdout spot also makes it easier for your team to run away, as you can fall back or just jump a level down, making escape or kiting easier.
