Map Overview

This article is about Community Probed strategy.

Note: It is recommended to read the main Probed article first to become familiar with the names of key map locations used in this article.

General strategy

  • Try not to enter the alien ship if you have low health as the atmosphere will kill you.
  • Control of the area between the control point and the bases is often a key to victory. Try multiple routes if you are getting killed frequently.
  • The grain silo near mid is often empty. In addition, people may ignore the upper areas of the map. Use this to your advantage.
  • If you need to get away from mid, the rooftop/second level of the barn near mid is a great place to go. Be wary, as Sentry Guns may be up there.

Class-specific strategy
