Top of Market Building Roof

Both this Market Building Roof and the Upper Roof of the nearby building are great sniping places that have a clear 360 view of the whole map. Controlling these two spots gives an immediate advantage for your team.

Balcony Along Main Street

Apartment Rooftop

Climb up a ladder to get to the Apartment Rooftop. Here, you can hide safely behind a pillar while looking out onto Main Street down below.

Balcony Overlooking Shacks

Behind the Hotel, there is a balcony on the 2nd floor that overlooks the Shacks area. This is a good safe place where you can prone to hide or shoot at anyone passing through the area below.

Prepare for Close Quarters Combat

Karachi has a lot of tight areas with lots of corners and indoor areas, so it would be best to equip yourself with high mobility, high fire rate weapons like SMGs.

Take Control of Rooftops

The rooftops at the southeastern part of the map are the ideal spots with high ground and a clear view of large sections of the map. Control these spots for a tactical advantage over everyone running down below.

Shoot From Building Windows

It is not advised to camp at building windows since you can easily be approached from behind. However, take brief glances out of any window you pass by and see if anyone is running along exposed pathways.
