Derail Hiding Spots

In Train Crash Carriage

In the Train Crash area at the center of the map, you can enter the wreckage of the train cars and have a good view of the entire area through both sides of the carriage.

Roof of Gas Station

Climb a ladder to get to the roof of the Gas Station. Here, you have minimal cover but have a full unobstructed view of the whole central area. Beware of snipers from the Office area.

Backyard in South Woods

Found in G6 at the southeastern part of the map, there is a backyard in the South Woods you can hide in. Mount your gun against the wooden fence to hide yourself well.

Behind Logs in South Woods

Also in the South Woods area, head to G8 and get behind some logs for a good hiding spot.

Corner of Train Platforms

This area is the northern team spawn of the map. Here, you can get behind crates for cover and a great view of the Train Platforms area.

On Gas Tank Along the Street

At the southwestern part of the map in E7, you can jump onto a gas tank, get prone, and get into a comfortable sniping position with a view of the Street area.

Balcony of Warehouse

In the northeastern building called the Warehouse, climb up to the upper floors and jump out of a window to get to a balcony or roof area where you have the best view of the train platforms area. Beware of enemies sniping from the Office windows.

Travel Along Central Area Only

As much as you can, don't venture out to the left and right side of the map, as they are wide open spaces with little cover.

Control the Office and Warehouse

These two buildings found in the central and upper right parts of the map are hot zones that grant your team a strategic advantage, as they have several windows with great views of large sections of the map.
