Wall Bang Spots 

Now before we head and reveal the secret spots on this map that even you may have not thought about, pay attention to the details provided as we will talk through the penetration levels and what usage each spot is good or best used for. Mind you, we will take a look at a diverse variety as there will be attacking, defending and even post plant set ups. Let’s get right into it:

Defense - A Heaven

What Does It Cover: Starting on A site, this uncalled for wallbang can be a round changer as it hits through to anyone standing on Heaven or the boxes to peek you as you progress.

When To Use It: Best used when you are in a retake scenario going over to A site, and you suspect enemies are pushed up on Heaven or have an angle on you then using this wall bang spot will give you free kills.

What Makes It Special: This wall bang goes a long way as you can do it from both sides. Whether you are an attacking or a defender looking to retake, you will find a way to use it.

Penetration Level: Medium To High

Attack - A Heaven

What Does It Cover: Over in Generator, this wall bang spot will hit anyone standing in A heaven. Paired with a smoke, enemies are likely to get hit with your bullets if you spam this spot.

When To Use It: Best used in a timed manner in a post plant scenario. Controlling A heaven is a firepower to those playing on A site, so when enemies are about to retake this can be your chance to get free kills.

What Makes It Special: While enemies will be focused on retaking the site and using utility solely for that purpose, this spot will help you hit them unexpectedly and get result changing kills.

Penetration Level: Medium To High

Attack - B Main

What Does It Cover: An interesting and very uncommon spot would be this one on B link as it aims directly to the corner on B main. You also can penetrate through the whole walls hitting any area on B main.

When To Use It: Best used when you know an enemy is always pushed up to a certain position or to clear corners right before you hit an execute on B site.

What Makes It Special: This almost never happens in game making it certainly a surprising hit to any enemy playing in these locations.

Penetration Level: High

Defense - B Link

What Does It Cover: Alternatively, you can also hit anyone on B link through this spot on B main as it goes both ways.

When To Use It: Especially on Eco rounds, enemies tend to go and try control mid and for that they might group up in Mid Link which if they do, they will become an easy meal for your odin.

What Makes It Special: You are relatively safe performing this wall bang as it’s easy and it will always catch enemies off guard because they will not know where you’re coming from.

Penetration Level: High

Defense - Market

What Does It Cover: This wall bang spot will hit anyone standing in Market, Mid on B site.

When To Use It: Best used on a post plant scenario as defenders will always reclaim market to try and retake site, giving you the opportunity to catch them off guard with this wall bang.

What Makes It Special: The fact that enemies will be focused on clearing space makes this very unlikely to them, thus it will be easy for you to catch them off guard.

Penetration Level: Medium To High

Retake - B Site

What Does It Cover: Through this Hut, you can hit anyone in B site. Of course, there are obstacles so keep that in mind.

When To Use It: Best used during retake scenarios to clear certain corners and angles.

What Makes It Special: The fact that you can get free kills a lot of the time without making an effort to retake site yourself makes it a must go everytime you retake B.

Penetration Level: Medium To High

Pro Tips

• Each Wall Bang location has a specific penetration level. There are 3 types of that, Light, Medium, and Strong penetration guns that are able to break through different walls. For example, the sheriff and odin count as strong penetration weapons while the Vandal is a medium penetration weapon. Keeping that in mind helps you know when to use it and where.
  
  
• By looking at the wall, you can tell if your bullets are going through it or not. If the wall is penetrated by your bullets it will create a hole with an obvious remark that it went through. If not, there will be more like a “dent” on the wall and your bullets would have clearly not reached the other side.
  
  
• If you are worried about not having the right gun for a specific wall bang you are looking to perform, with a good economy you can keep a sheriff as your pistol which will save you in situations where you only have a Vandal or a Phantom.
  
  
• A good way to ensure you do not miss your shots through wall bangs is to ping the spot you are aiming to hit on the minimap. This will create a visual ping in front of you too which can guide you where to shoot if you forget the exact spot.
  
  
• Don’t hesitate to ask for utility from teammates or even better, play agents that can hold abilities to help you. A popular pick would be Sova as he can have set reveals for each wall bang spot essentially helping you get even more guaranteed kills with these locations.
