How Haven works
Haven distributes the action across three Spike sites, giving attackers several targets and defenders more territory to cover. Both teams benefit from quick, accurate information about where pressure is real.
How to attack
Use a default to make defenders reveal their positions, then converge decisively on one site. A late feint works only if the Spike and the main group can reach the other target in time.
How to defend
Share first contact immediately without over-rotating. One defender who keeps an alternate site covered may prevent attackers from walking into an empty plant zone.
Map control and positioning
The third site makes fake pressure more credible. Track how many defenders have rotated rather than assuming every noise means a full hit.
Plants, post-plants and retakes
Choose between a quick retake and saving resources based on the remaining players, Spike position and time. Never stagger into three separate duels.
Common mistake
Sending every defender to the first gunfight and leaving the opposite site unguarded.
Practice this map
Load Haven 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.
