Fracture

Fracture is unlike every other map: the defense spawns in the center, and the attack spawns on two opposite sides, linked by underground ziplines. Every site has entrances from both sides, so the attack can reach a site from two directions at once.

On attack the win condition is the pincer: split the team across the two sides and take a site from opposite directions, so the defense does not know where to look. An attack that comes entirely from one side gives up the map's main advantage.

On defense the win condition is not getting caught in the middle. The defense reaches both sites quickly from its central spawn, but it has to choose what to hold: it often pays to delay, gather information and come back for the retake with the whole team, rather than dying while holding a site attacked from two sides.

The main names:

• A side: you enter A through A Main, A Rope and A Link from the south side, and through A Drop from the north side. On and around the site are A Dish, A Hall, A Door and A Gate.
• B side: you enter B through B Main and B Tunnel from the south side, and through B Link and B Arcade from the north side. B Tower is B's strongest position, with the door overlooking the site; there are also B Canteen, B Generator, B Tree and B Bench.
• Center: this is where the defense spawns. Underneath run the ziplines linking the two halves of the attacker spawn.

The interactive map shows the sites, the two attacker spawns, the defender spawn and the zipline.
