This article is about Mountain Lab strategy.

General (All Classes)

  • The final point is very open and as such is susceptible to combined-fire maneuvers.

Class-specific strategy

Leaderboard class scout.png Scout

  • A good idea when going for the final control point is to wait in a corner or secluded out of sight area near the control point for all the enemies to pass, then start capturing. You may be able to draw the enemies back, allowing your team to advance.
  • Be sure to take the secluded routes, to maximize surprise. This way you can have the enemies' health low before they even realize they're being attacked.
  • The Sandman may be a good choice for this map, due to the long straightaways.

Leaderboard class soldier.png Soldier

  • Try and avoid the open areas, as it gives the enemy a large window for avoiding your rockets.
  • Use your Rocket Launcher's blast radius to take advantage of the closed in control points, as it is a great way for clearing enemies off.

Leaderboard class pyro.png Pyro

  • While the first two control points can be tough for a Pyro as the space around is very open, once you have pushed (or been pushed) to the third point, the narrow hallways are perfect for ambushing enemies
  • The control points themselves, however, are pretty tight, which is great for the Flamethrower.
  • Remember, airblasting enemies off of the point is always an option.

Leaderboard class demoman.png Demoman

  • Much like the Soldier, take advantage of the closed in spaces around the control points to deny capping.
  • Use the corners of the hallways in the lab to ambush unsuspecting enemies.

Leaderboard class heavy.png Heavy

  • As the areas to the first two points are pretty open, stick with a Medic and stay out of sight as to not get sniped.
    • Equipping the Fists of Steel to run through the open is also a good idea.

  • Put your Sentry Gun in the hallways of the lab to enforce area denial.
  • The trudge from spawn to the last point is fairly lengthy, so set up some Teleporters to cut the travel for your team.

Leaderboard class medic.png Medic

  • Since the control points are closed in, keep multiple teammates healed and try not to stick to one of them unless escorting a Heavy across an open area.

Leaderboard class sniper.png Sniper

  • The path from BLU spawn to the point A is excellent for sniping incoming enemies.
  • The roof of Point B is great for defending and attacking Snipers, as you can aim towards people coming from Red spawn or aim towards people coming from Point A.
  • The long corridor in the entrance to the lab is great for picking off approaching enemies.
  • The area above Red spawn gives you a good, long look to the room across.


Leaderboard class spy.png Spy

  • One of the safest ways to get through the middle is to Cloak and to go across the top, where there is usually little to no traffic.
    The building on the right of the screen is a good place to hide out for a while.
  • Remember to sap teleporters as it is a long walk to the control point.
  • On offense, a good place to hide out at the first control point is inside the building behind it, disguised as a Sniper. Then, when you see an opening in the enemies, perhaps an exposed back, jump through the window and attack. After, Cloak and go back to the window, or escape.
    Go through this area while Cloaked to minimize chances of being discovered.
