The ultimate cypher setups

WIP currently only have a few maps done. I wont be adding fracture or icebox until a later date.

Here you will learn all of Matteo's personal cypher setups and variations on all maps. Before we start, we have to understand the purpose of cypher as a agent. The purpose of cypher is to hold space and get info within that space. The purpose of tripwires are to secure kills by holding choke points such as entry points to sites, or getting info on lurks, as well as holding flank. ALWAYS TRIP FLANK, when tripping flank make sure your crouching and the trip line is near the top of your screen. The purpose of cages or cypher smokes, are to secure 1v1 fights, make 1 ways(you can make one ways on the spot if there is a ledge on top of a entry way), tell if enemies are in the cage or in a smoke by placing it in a smoke and listening for the sound cue, and finally playing inside of them. The camera is used in a way to get info without physically peaking. The ultimate is used for securing info on rotations, lurks, or enemy positions on retake. NOTE: These setups can be tweaked to your personal liking, so you can change a cam position or trip position based on enemy playstyle.

ASCENT DEFENSE

ASCENT ATTACK

ASCENT DEFENSE

ASCENT GOD MID CAM

The best cypher cam for ascent, securing top mid, bottom mid, pizza, spawn lurks, and catwalk. I recomend using this cam every round, but you can use the displayed cams on each setup if you want.

Ascent A site setup #1

A cypher setup for A site designed to secure kills and detect lurks. With many positions to play in, such as dice, tree door to spam through when smokes, heaven, generator, hell, and even close right by boxes. When they hit trips pop cage and shoot the enemy through smoke. If you are smoked off, don't pop cage, just shoot them through smoke.

Ascent A site setup #2

A cypher setup designed to secure kills for A site. Most often used when they are shock darting the unbreakable trips. With many positions to play in, such as dice, tree door to spam through when smokes, heaven, generator, hell, and even close right by boxes. When they hit trips pop cage and shoot the enemy through smoke. If you are smoked off, don't pop cage, just shoot them through smoke.

Ascent B site setup #1

A cypher setup designed to secure kills off trips. With 4 main positions to play being: market, ct, stairs, and lane. CT and market are personal favorite positions because they smoke you off so you don't need to expend cages.

ASCENT ATTACK

You can get creative with cameras on attack. If you are pushing mid, cam mid. Its pretty simple.

Ascent A site postplant #1

1 way off heaven then trip to cover heaven. You can stand boxes to spam off one way, then go hell to wallbang off trip. Put cam to cover heaven.

Ascent A site postplant #2

Trip to cover all of front site and play main. Cage tree to allow teamates to easily to get on and off site for postplant.

Ascent B site postplant #1

When pushing site, cage market and put a unbreakable trip down. Then quickly run site to play wallbang.

Ascent B site postplant #2

When you have site, trip stairs or lane. Cage your trip, and play backsite to play time. These trips are for info, and kills.

ABYSS DEFENSE

A balanced setup holding lurks from short and showers. Use same camera as #1

A setup to stop quick pushes onto site with a cam designed to spot long without a teamate.

Bind B setup #2

BIND ATTACK

GOD FLANK TRIP

Place this trip to stop flanks from A to B and B to A. Does not hold spawn flank. Place extra trip spawn side if they are flanking from spawn.

Spawn flank trip

This is the right place to place if they are flanking through spawn.

BREEZE DEFENSE

Breeze A setup #1

My go too setup for A site. Usually just spam default through smoke and off trips. Also trip halls, otherwise your team might get mad.

Breeze A setup #2

If you don't want a hall trip you can take the trip and make this double trip setup.

Breeze B setup

Play half wall, or backsite, and spam them when they hit trip.

BREEZE ATTACK

A flank trip

Trip for flank A

B flank trips

Trips for flank B

Cam for mid

Catch enemy rotations through mid

HAVEN DEFENSE

Pistol round strat

Buy 1 trip, 1 cage, ghost. Hug barrier, place trip as soon as barrier drops. Pop cage and kill them as soon as they hit trip.

Haven A site setup #1

A setup to secure kills by playing heaven. Personal favorite setup.

Haven A site setup #2

A setup to catch lurks. Easiest for of A site setup.

Haven C site god cam

Provides early info and a overall great camera

Haven C site setup #1

Trip garage to catch lurks. The trip variations are on site C. Play backsite, logs, platform.

Haven C site setup #2

When pushing B on haven use A and C flank trips at the same time, and have a teamate lurk garage. You can lurk garage if you want. Also you will have 1 leftover trip when pushing A and C. In this case trip ct or garage or heaven.
