How Breeze works
Breeze uses large open spaces, ruins and caves to encourage long-distance engagements. Cover is sparse in important areas, making smoke placement and crossfire control central to a safe entry.
How to attack
Identify the open crossing that is most dangerous for the Spike carrier. Smoke or otherwise deny the sightline, then take space in pairs so a long-range defender cannot repeatedly isolate players.
How to defend
Stay aware of wide flanks. Gathering information early is important, but overextending beyond cover can give away an advantageous site position.
Map control and positioning
Long-range control changes how useful mid pressure is. Choose angles and movement deliberately instead of assuming a close-range duel.
Plants, post-plants and retakes
Before defusing, isolate the longest attacker sightline. A smoke without a teammate to cover the close push is not enough.
Common mistake
Repeatedly running across a wide unprotected lane after the first teammate is eliminated.
Practice this map
Load Breeze in a custom game. Walk both site approaches, test the main rotation, and practice one coordinated entry and one retake. Repeat after major map geometry changes.
