Vanguard is a Control Point map. It is set in a construction site, with many floors at varying heights. With many alternate routes towards objectives created by the construction props, it is easy to flank and gain a height advantage for all classes.
Vanguard was made an official map in the Tough Break Update.

Locations
Control Point 3
The middle capture is located in the center of the yard, underneath a suspended board.
- Entrances: For each team, there are five entrances through their team-colored buildings: The side entrance, the above platform, the center doorway, the unfinished wall, and the doorway next to the unfinished wall.
- Scaffolding: To the sides of the yard in the structures are rows of scaffolding bridges. The scaffolding can be used for cover, or as a path to the board above the point.
- Center Yard: The yard with the control point is an open area with no cover. Above the control point is a suspended board with a medium ammo kit on it.
- Secondary Spawn: Inside each team's entrance structure is a secondary spawn that will become active once their respective team has captured all but the last control point.

Control Point 2 & 4
The second and fourth control point are on a piece of scaffolding next to an elevator.
- Elevator: To the side of the control point is an inactive elevator tower. The elevator is at the second floor, turning the bottom floor into a walkway into the adjunct building. The elevator itself can be used as a lookout, and a teleporter hiding spot.
- Center Scaffolding: The scaffolding holding the control point is a raised platform with a bridge across to the team spawn.
- Right Balcony: Overlooking the control point is a structure with a balcony that can provide suppressive fire against the enemy team.
- Left Building: The structure to the left of the control point that links to the elevator.

Control Point 1 & 5
The final Control Point is to the side in the middle of a section of computer terminals.
- Air Vent: An air vent lays on the side of the building, allowing an ambush to the enemy team's spawn doors.
- Observation Room: Overlooking the control point is a large observation room. The glass is one way, allowing for sneak attacks.
- Control Area: The terminal area with the control point.
