Dustbowl stage 2, capture point 1.

Attack/Defend strategy.

General strategy

  • Remember that if the square in the bottom of your HUD has a padlock on it, that indicates that that control point is locked and that you can not capture it.
  • Try to sneak to around the capture point before initiating the capture, otherwise you lose the element of surprise.

Class-specific strategy

  • When playing offense (BLU) as a Scout, your most powerful weapon is your ability to capture points twice as fast as normal classes. Use this to your advantage by focusing on capturing the control point.

  • When defending, your job is simple: "Keep people off of the point". As such, most of your weapons are well prepared for this task:
    • Using the Sticky Launcher it is possible to blanket the area surrounding the point with bombs (Or if necessary, the point itself) to deal heavy damage to groups of people. Just wait until they walk near the area, and show them why they should stay off the point.
    • The Scottish Resistance makes it possible to not only defend the point but key areas where the enemy must pass through to reach the point itself. Useful for situations where you know they might make it past just one sticky trap.
  • Your Grenade Launcher is useful for clearing large crowds when your Stickies are out of commission. Very helpful in intense situations, to deal heavy damage to attackers.

  • When defending, try to build a Sentry Gun around the point. By doing so, the enemy team can't capture the point as fast.

  • Make sure to sap all Sentry Guns in the area before you initiate the capture, otherwise you will be killed while capturing.
