General Strategy (All Classes)
See also: Community Payload strategy
- The map is very open, allowing for much vertical mobility, such as the Thermal Thruster or explosive jumping.
Class-specific strategy
Scout
- At the end of the map, the attacking team has to capture a control point. This makes the Scout's double capture rate especially effective. Use a flank route or unexpected angle to start capture progress and force the enemy team to respond to it, while your own team moves in.
Soldier
- The open sky of the map and majority outdoor areas give plenty of opportunities to rocket jump for flanks or simply jumping behind the enemy. Checkpoint C and D are a bit more enclosed than the rest of the map, so this strategy may not be as viable there.
Pyro
- The many flank routes make the Backburner a good choice. High up ledges above the Payload cart are ideal spots to jump down to Crit players pushing the cart. The Thermal Thruster can aid in this with its vertical movement.
Demoman
- The map has an abundance of slopes and angled props to trimp off of, one useful example is the large hill by BLU team's first spawn. An attacking Demoman can use the Tide turner to trimp behind the enemy team.
Heavy
Engineer
- The bricks by the side exit of BLU's first spawn are an ideal place for a Sentry Gun, placing one on top allows for it to shoot the RED team and give an opening to push the cart.
- The many ledges allow for creative Sentry Gun positions, but keep in mind that anything too out in the open can be shot down by a Soldier or a Sniper out of its range.
- The map's ending control point makes it easy for you to build a Sentry Gun on the cliff above the point to stop pushes. The Wrangler allows for manual aiming of targets that might hide behind the cart, as well as significantly reducing damage from incoming fire.
Medic
- The capture at the end of the map can be made easier with the Amputator's area of effect healing, allowing you to heal your entire team from a safe spot.
Sniper
- The many ledges are great spots for a Sniper to stand from, the high ground giving the advantage of being able to look over a lot of the cover. For example, the high up platform outside of BLU's spawn can be used to spawncamp the enemy team before they can reach the cart.
