Whereas the Radianite crates are nonetheless in a position to be shot via, there’s a bit extra flexibility in the place you may plant behind them. Enemies might want to spray a bit extra in comparison with holding the one spot that was obtainable to plant in. The identical idea applies to these defusing the Spike.

Secondly, it creates a neater method to enter and exit the positioning with a bit extra safety. This helps each groups out, which inspires fairer competitors.

Minor Modifications

A Web site may even be getting a barrel behind the positioning. Whereas this isn’t going to supply anybody protection, it might assist with catching enemies off guard. It additionally makes it a bit tougher for these hiding on that wall to rapidly run to security or strafe an excessive amount of.

B Web site can also be getting just a few home windows alongside B Corridor, which can open up for the potential of flashes or different utility coming via that wall. It will require teamwork, but it surely’s a brand new, rewarding method to guarantee that space doesn’t really feel too secluded.

General, these modifications don’t actually profit a selected aspect of the map. It would make issues a bit extra open and encourage fights in comparison with holding an angle.
