This article is for learning how to play more effectively on Barnblitz.

General Strategy (All Classes)

  • As with many Payload maps, stay with the cart. It will allow you to win the game faster and the bonus health and ammo regeneration can keep you in the fight.
  • Use the many hight variations and building scattered throughout the map to give yourself either an offensive or defensive edge.
  • Due to all the buildings and varied areas on the map, Spies will find it very easy to hide, always keep an eye out, or Spy-check often.
  • The map has a lot of varying paths with many ways to get to one point, try using a path that is not being covered, it will give you some safety when movie and your attacks will come as a surprise.
  • Barnblitz has many choke-points and closed-in areas, use these to your advantage to deal large amounts of damage to enemies who will not have a chance to escape.
  • The map has a relatively large amount of health packs and ammo pick-ups, knowing where these are located and how to get to them quickly can save you in a bad situation.

Class-specific strategy

  • Use the map's closed-in areas to chase and attack enemies, as they will have no way to dodge your Scattergun spread in such a closed in area.
  • The map's high points can be used to escape enemy fire and also to preform surprising arial attacks.
  • Along with the small, closed-in areas, Barnblitz has a few wide open places, use these sections of the map to dodge incoming enemy projectiles.
  • Your speed and close range power will allow you to use the maps alternate routes to preform quick and devastating surprise attacks.
  • You are most effective on the cart, as your ability to push twice as fast will help the team, and the health and ammo regeneration can help you out of a tight spot.

  • Your ability to rocket jump can make very effective use of the maps high points, allowing you to get to an important position quickly, and even rain rockets on the opposing team.

  • Stay alert, your large battle presence and high damage output will make you priority, and attacks can come from any direction on Barnblitz.
