Sub Base Hiding Spots

End of East Dock

The end of the East Dock is the team spawn point but also doubles as a great hiding or camping spot with its stone barriers. However, take care of enemies coming in from the water to your left.

Nook in the Tunnel

In the Tunnel area at G5 of the map, there is a small nook you can enter and hide in, or shoot at people coming into the tunnel from the east side.

On Buoy at East Dock Corner

Swim into the water at East Dock, then jump onto the red buoy. Get behind it for a bit of cover for a good sniping spot.

On Catwalks Roof

The Catwalks Roof is the best place to get to if you want the best view of most of the map. Here, you will be able to fire on enemies at the central or western area.

Under Stairs in Warehouse

In the Warehouse at the southern part of the map, there is a small nook under the stairs where players can hide and shoot at people coming into the Warehouse.

Sub Base Tips and Strategies

Sub Base Map Strategy
Map Explanation
Fastest paths to objectives. Caution! Encounter and camping hotspots. Control these spots with your team.

Swim Only in Search and Destroy

In almost any other mode, swimming is pointless, and will only reduce your odds of getting kills. Swimming is a good tactic in Search and Destroy however, as you can stealthily swim underwater and cross to the other side of the map.

Take Control of Catwalks Roof

The rooftops above the Catwalks to the left of the central area are a great area for getting clear lines of sight and taking out people on the ground.

The other areas marked green above are buildings with windows that have great lines of sight to pathways outside.
