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:

Attack - A Drop

What Does It Cover: This is a very rare and unique spot, as it hits directly to anyone taking the drop from A heaven to A drop. As they slide down, they will be in an area where this spot covers.

When To Use It: If you are suspecting players to be dropping from A heaven to drop, you can always with good cover start spamming this area and get yourself some free frags.

What Makes It Special: This wall bang is very situational, but very unique and unpredictable making it a sure hit to anyone coming to face against it.

Penetration Level: High 

Defense - A Site

What Does It Cover: This wall bang spot through the wall on tree will take hit on anyone crossing the pathway to A. Whether that be to B link or A site specifically. It is worth noting that this entire area, on tree, is wallbangable.

When To Use It: Mostly used if you are defending A site by playing from Tree and hear enemies cross their way to the site. Remember, this wall bang can go both ways, so you can do the same if you are on the attacking team.

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.
