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 Short

What Makes It Special: This wall bang is a one way, making it impossible for anyone to shoot you back or even punish you for that except someone comes from B.
Penetration Level: High
Defense - A Short 2
What Does It Cover: Similarly to the last wallbang spot, this will hit A short but from a different angle. That is, from the boxes on the corner of B site.
When To Use It: Best used if you plan to anchor on B site specifically and hear enemies stepping on A short.
What Makes It Special: Just like the last wallbang spot, this is a one way which makes it impossible for enemies to punish you unless they lurk up on you.
Penetration Level: High
Retake - Under Heaven (Hell)

Penetration Level: High
Defense - B Site
What Does It Cover: This wallbang spot will hit directly to one of B site’s default planting spots. From an angle, right on short, it will hit straight into anyone trying to defuse the spike.
When To Use It: Best used in a post plant scenario, by planting the spike on B site in that specific spot and then moving over to A short to pose for the upcoming play.
What Makes It Special: This is inevitably one of the best post plant scenarios as enemies can’t really punish you playing from that spot.

Defense - Mid Window
What Does It Cover: This wallbang spot will catch anyone playing on Mid, window off guard.

Penetration Level: High
Defense - C Garage

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.
