Icebox

Icebox is a very vertical map: ziplines, containers, walkways and high positions on both sites. The sites are big and have many spots the defense can watch from; the lines are long.

On attack the win condition is taking the high positions and long lines away from the defense (with smokes, walls and information) and then holding the site with a strong post-plant. Going into a site full of positions without clearing them means losing players one at a time.

On defense the win condition is knowing early where the attack is coming and using the high positions to delay it. On sites this big, a defense that is always found in the same spots gets punished; one that varies its positions forces the attack to spend a lot of utility.

The main names:

• A side: the attack reaches A from A Main, through areas like A Belt, a high walkway above the site, and A Nest. On site there are A Pipes, A Rafters and A Screens. A has a horizontal zipline across the site.
• B side: it is a container yard. The attack arrives from B Green, a series of narrow corridors, and from Yellow, the big yellow container near the site. Snowman is a position near the site overlooking the plant area. Kitchen is a covered area above the tunnel leading to B; Tube is the passage linking mid to the B side.
• Mid: the main areas are Mid Boiler and Mid Pallet.

The interactive map shows the sites, the spawns and mid; you will pick up the finer names in games.
