Map Overview

This article is about Community Wutville strategy.

General Strategy

  • Wutville's layout is exceptionally dominated by long corridors with long sight lines. While there are flanks, they are mostly narrow paths that parallel the main route.
    • Due to this narrowness of the map, Sentry Guns and Sticky Traps are all great tools for the defending team.
    • In place of wide flanks, there are several cul-de-sacs to the sides of the route, each sheltering pickups or Spawns, that are large enough for several players and nests to be hidden from the main sight lines.
  • The final point lies below high ground that has plenty of Health and Ammo packs to the attacking team, should they push up the left flank ramp, securing this route can easily turn the tide.
