Map Scenario
Everyone’s favorite scenario with the planting of a bomb is played out on the map. Its peculiarity lies in its visual performance – the style of an abandoned Aztec city, which terrorists are trying to destroy, was chosen.
Appearance of the map
The first thing that comes to mind after the launch of this map is Aztec, which was removed from the map-pull back in 2017. To some extent, this is a remake of that famous map with some corrections. There are dark corridors, spacious areas and small ponds. It should be noted that this map was released as part of Operation Broken Fang and has its own collection of skins. Now she has replaced Train in the competitive mode, sent for revision and improvement.
Map geometry
The developers used the already standard geometric layout with a midfield and two roads to two bombsites. Most of the map is a single-tier structure, but there are some drops in some places. Understanding the “corridors” is relatively easy, you can get confused only in the passages to point A.

Game strategy
- The map is replete with all sorts of corners and hidden positions where you can hide yourself or the enemy can wait. Therefore, it is very important to spend enough time on a thorough check.
- When entering the A site, it is better to attack through the main and short, because these directions are the most difficult to control for the CT side.
- Terrorists should not neglect flash drives. For example, a blinding grenade from the middle can make it much easier to occupy the A site.
- There can always be an enemy in mid lane – remember that.
- When attacking point B, you should close the help and ridge with smoke as soon as possible, thereby cutting off a significant part of the defense forces.
- Having decided to pick mid from the nine, you should check the exit from the bottom to the center. Perhaps there will be an enemy.
- For CT, the optimal arrangement will be 2A, 2B and 1MID. The nuance is that the center must be controlled, otherwise there will be no understanding of the actions of the enemy and you can run into a pass in the back.
- The T side can successfully pick the mid with two – this will significantly increase the chances of taking the center of the map.
- For the CT side, a couple of times per map, it’s worth pushing the mid through the lower tunnel.
