SPAWN LOCATIONS / SPAWN-TRAPPING
The screenshot that can be seen on top is a layout of the spawn locations of Templars and Raiders of the map Kolton Fortress. The left side of the screenshot is located at the Templars spawn location while the right side of the screenshot is located at the Raiders spawn location. Once players have walked away from their spawn they will encounter the center of the map where there is located all kinds of terrain that can be used for their advantage. You can use the terrain to jump down on your enemies that are passing by to terminate them swiftly or you could hide behind the terrains to surprise your enemies with the element of stealth.
Note that Templars can get to the window and cave entrance area a lot faster to reach the term but Raiders are given an advantage to use the little bridge terrain as a way to camp Templars spawn if used correctly.
General Tip 1:
Attacking an enemy spawn alone may be fatal as you are going to be outnumbered and overwhelmed. Try to gather up to 2-3 members For a successful push and to block possible pathways for enemy members to run past you towards the term. Getting distracted can cost you the term in this situation.
General Tip 2:
Having the high ground can benefit you during battles. This could reduce the amount of people pushing towards the term. You should always watch your backs as flying attacks tend to happen a lot. Anyone using this tactic can easily pick up a few kills by camping in these positions.
General Tip 3:
Always be aware of your surroundings as there can always be one camper sitting behind a rock waiting for the element of surprise and pick up an easy kill. Being aware of your surroundings can save you and your teammates lives and can change the tide of battle. Make sure you check every corner before going through an area.
WINDOW
When players first head towards the terminal the Gate is not opened up so they will have two other options to get to the terminal. One of those options is using the opened window. One can simply do some quick parkour and climb up the window and go throw the defensive wall. You can do this alone or with another player to speed up the climbing and getting to the term faster by simply jumping on the other player's head and jumping through the defensive wall. Players are seen to be waiting on the other side of the defensive wall camping and waiting for players to jump off. You should always zoom out of the camera screen and check if anyone is camping. After making your way through the window you have a clear path ahead of you towards the term but always be aware as enemies tend to camp around the small houses to get you by surprise.
CAVE
When the Window is occupied and you are unable to get through it you can always use the second option and that is the Cave. The Cave unlike the Window takes more time to get to the end and reach the terminal. Be aware that people tend to stay in the shadows inside of the Cave or camp outside of the exit of the Cave to quickly take out players and secure the term. Using the Cave is a secure way that leads to the terminal and you can easily sneak past if anyone is not guarding it. Before exiting the cave at the end zoom out and make sure that nobody is camping it and waiting for a sneak attack. Always beware what is inside of the Cave as sometimes players can show up from nowhere and get you by surprise. You can rush in with 2-4 teammates using the Cave to reach the terminal and get past but make sure you are not going all grouped up as all of you can get ambushed and killed if you are not aware of your surroundings inside of the Cave.
GATE
The Gate can be your best option or the worst for reaching the terminal the fastest way. It all depends on your communication with your team and your overall awareness of when to open the Gate and when not. Players tend to camp outside of the Gate entrance or hide around it till someone opens it and head straight in. With proper communication with your teammates you can time when to open up the Gate and let your teammates through without letting any enemies through too. Experienced players sometimes are seen to take risks with the Gate and open it to bait the enemy team into heading straight towards it and close it when they are close enough.
TERMINAL
The Terminal is the main objective of Paids and Defenses and it should be protected by all costs. If you lose the Terminal you can lose the battle. You should always try to secure it whenever you can and stop the enemy team from reaching it. The Terminal of Kolton Fortress is 900 second terminal meaning you will have to hold it for 900 seconds exactly to win the Raid/Defense. By standing on the glowing white it activates a capturing animation that lasts 10 seconds. The team who captures it receives one point every second. By stopping the enemy team of receiving points your team would need to reset the terminal by capturing it and holding it for 10 seconds. Make sure that you're always aware of your surroundings around the terminal as players can sneak behind you using the ladders. When Guarding the term make sure you are separated from other members as dying quickly would lead to your team losing the term.
