Terminal Hiding Spots

On Plane Wing

Climb up the crates to get on the plane wing. There will be a spot behind some boxes at the tip of the wing that is a great hiding spot.

On Balcony Facing Plane

From the wing of the plane, jump towards the airport building and land on the exposed balcony. There will be a small protective wall here that makes this place a great hiding spot.

In Plane Cargo Bay

The cargo area inside the plane will have a spot at the very back, where you will be protected on all sides, allowing you to focus on what's in front. It is basically a death trap for any enemy who enters here.

In Plane Cockpit

The plane cockpit is also a good spot, but it would be best to prone here.

Overlooking Waiting Area

There is a high platform in the waiting area that provides a great view of the place. Prone here to be more hidden. You can reach this area by climbing a ladder, or jumping on some obstacles from the upper level.

Overlooking the Airport

From the above waiting area spot, break the window behind you and jump onto the air conditioning unit. This is one of the highest spots in the map and provides a great view of the entire airport.

In Burger Town Kitchen

The Burger Town's kitchen has some food shelves with very narrow slits that you can aim through. It doesn't provide the best view but people from outside will have a hard time spotting you.

Terminal Best Loadout

Terminal MCW Loadout

Primary Secondary
MCW Renetti
Analysis
・The MCW with the right mods grants no recoil and great handling with superior mobility. It's great at long range, mid range and close range, which is great for the Terminal, as this map has several long and wide areas, as well as tight corridors. The MCW is a great weapon for both beginners and advanced players.
・The Renetti has a lot of versatility, deals decent damage, has decent range and great mobility for a pistol. It can provide a quick swap when your primary runs out of ammo. With the right mods on the Renetti, it can become as powerful as a primary weapon and can even go up against SMGs.
