No time measured on today’s version of this map is published, so none is shown — the routes and what delays them are what the sources agree on.

Common wallbangs

From → target · why · needsSide

No wallbang on this map is reported by a source we could check.

Every row is community-reported — verify it in the current build before relying on it. Each row’s needs line links its source.

Pick your team’s word once — saved on this device and used on the map.

“connector” — TC, Profilerr and csdb: A Connector (Mid → Plateau). Valve's 2026-02-04 note says 'connector (e-box :P) hole'; Profilerr also has 'B Connector' and bo3.gg puts the new hole 'above the Connector (near the E-box)'.

“heaven” — A Heaven is the CT platform over A; TC and csdb also have a T-side Heaven in Ruins overlooking B Long.

“pillar” — Community 'Pillar' is the close-right pillar on B. Valve's Jan 2026 scaffolding went on a 'pillar on Bombsite A', and Valve does not say which one; Fountain also sits beside a pillar.

“water” — Canal is the whole waterway, Water its main stretch, and bo3.gg writes 'Canal (Water)'. Valve's retake file also labels a spot near Fountain 'water'.

“ninja” — The wiki plots both 'Ninja' and 'Dark/Ninja' near Back of B, and bo3.gg says 'Dark'; GTM advises treating them as one call.

Default CT setup · anchor angles

First contact: A Main
Fallback: Tunnel
Escape: CT Spawn
Utility: Molotov Boat on movement, smoke A Main to delay
Never expose: A Main and Connector at once

csdb: 2-1-2. bo3.gg (Jan 2026, after the rework): '2-1-2 or 1-1-3', often one A anchor, two on B and two floating between Mid and the sites. A convention, not a rule.

Briefing mode (A anchor)

ANUBIS · A anchor (CT side · pre-plant)
Hold A Main from Heaven while the Connector player covers the split. Molotov Boat on movement, and fall back through Tunnel instead of facing Main and Connector alone.
CT setup: 1 A anchor @ Heaven · 2 A support (Connector) @ Connector · 3 Mid @ Mid · 4 B anchor @ Pillar · 5 B support (E-Box) @ E-Box
Plants: A Default, B Default
Retake A: 1 CT Spawn/Tunnel/Heaven · 2 Mid/Connector/Camera

Ask about this map

Through Tunnel into Heaven and through Connector at the same time, with A Main smoked. Since Jan 2026, Walkway crates and new scaffolding make the Camera side safer.
