Contents
General (All Classes)
- Use the rooftops to give yourself the high ground advantage. The tops of the stairs in the central area are also good for picking off enemies down on the main point.
- Remember, the saw blades will instantly kill any player who wanders into their paths. Take advantage of knockback from the Force-A-Nature, compression blast, and explosive projectiles to knock enemies into the saw blades whenever possible.
Class-specific strategy
Scout
- Scouts work wonders here, use the rooftops and you will be on the enemy's Intelligence room in a blast.
- Double-jumping allows you to flank the enemy. A few bursts of the Scattergun can take down most classes quickly, if caught by surprise.
- When using the Force-A-Nature, try not to accidentally smash yourself into the saw blades.
- Mad Milk's health benefit is useful when there are less health packs; however, do not let your enemies get to the water.
- Bonk! Atomic Punch does NOT protect against saw blades. Don't run into them!
- The Sandman is relatively useful in this stage: accurate pitching over the rooftops may stun a dangerous foe.
- The Boston Basher is very useful here. The bleeding can only be stopped by health packs, which are far and few. Just be careful not to hurt yourself in the process.
- The Candy Cane helps you get more health on this stage, which is relatively useful.
- The Fan O'War can be useful for teamwork here. Just never go alone or you risk a quick melee death.
Soldier
- Rocket jumping works well for experienced players. Jumping past the boarded-off area will allow you to flank the enemy and smash their defenses.
- If you encounter a Pyro, try to head for the waterfall area. Underwater combat is much easier.
- The Black Box is recommended here because there are less health pickups.
- The Buff Banner, Battalion's Backup, and the Concheror will work better here. The small map works to your advantage, allowing you to buff more players at once.
- Gunboats will massively help rocket-jumpers so they can ambush the enemy with enough health to fight more effectively.
- The Half-Zatoichi is massively helpful here, making up for the small amount of health pickups easily.
Pyro
Demoman
- Demomen with the Scottish Resistance can place stickies on the Intelligence while continuing to defend other spots. This is incredibly powerful for a steady defense on the intelligence while retaining chokepoint defense.
- If you are quick enough at the beginning of the round you can use the Sticky Jumper to jump over the fence to get to the enemies Intelligence room and take the briefcase before they've had a chance to set up a defense then sticky jump back over the fence to your Intelligence room.
Heavy
Engineer
- The stairways from either spawn to the control point make for excellent Sentry Gun spots, especially useful for defending the Intelligence room and also being able to fire at other would-be attackers if you have the Wrangler equipped.
- Another strategy is to just set up in the Intelligence room, as this strategy defends against sneaky Scouts who try to steal the intelligence.
- BLU Engineers have the slight advantage of using the top shelf of the Log Shed to place a Sentry Gun and Dispenser. This can be easily achieved by approaching the edge of the door frame leading to the central area, running along a small lip on the outer wall towards the log shed and crouch jumping onto the ledge. This spot gives a strong defense/offence against most classes that happen to pass through and has an excellent element of surprise. Your team can receive ammo and metal from your Dispenser by jumping on the lower ledge directly below it.
Medic
Sniper
Spy
- Try sapping buildings on the top shelf on the Log Shed, they often go in the corner to hide and protect their buildings.
