Tactical Knowledge

Good advice for most Team Slayer or Objective games is to stay with your team. Do not run off by yourself and attack. Beware of your surroundings; do not rush into groups of enemies in which you are outnumbered. This is a sure way of ending up with multiple members of the other team firing on you. Always keep with your teammates to watch each other’s back. Use “team killing” tactics. If one of your teammates is being fired upon, fire at the assailant. They will appreciate it when you have saved their lives, and you will appreciate it when they have saved yours. Prioritize the weapons you pick up. Since this map is mostly a large open area, we recommend going for mid- and long-range weapons such as the Sniper Rifle, Spartan Laser, and Battle Rifle. Usually controlling the base, using the Spartan Laser at Laser Spawn, and taking cover in the base while shields are low will be a great advantage for your game.
Weapon, Vehicle, And Equipment Tactics

Priority 1 Weapons

• Spartan Laser

The Spartan Laser is pretty much top priority, especially for Objective games.

On offense, your objective should be to take out the person with the Spartan Laser, allowing you to feel safe in vehicles. If you get the Spartan Laser and then die, tell your team that vehicles aren’t safe anymore.

If you are defending the flag or base in Assault, sometimes it is best to sit at Laser Spawn with the Laser and use it on approaching vehicles. Make sure to retreat into the base if you are getting fired at and watch for snipers. If you’re in a Slayer game, people might not rush with vehicles as much, so don’t wait too long before you decide to just take out people on foot.

It’s better to die with the Laser and maybe kill only three people, because this prevents someone from getting a full Laser with which to take out you and your teammates. Also watch for the Spartan Laser’s charge time (three seconds); this time can become critical. If you see anyone within close range, simply switch to your secondary weapon.

• Sniper Rifle

There are two Sniper Rifles on this map, each easily accessible by each team. The ultimate goal is to take out the opposing sniper. Once this is done, someone needs to go for the other weapon to either use it or bring the ammo back to your sniper. For defensive games, you can sit at Above Garage and take out the people coming from Seawall Cubby and Camp Froman before they can even reach your base. For offense, as long as the other sniper is cleared, you can walk to the catwalk and have a vantage point into the base to keep your bomb carrier or flag bandit alive. In a Slayer game, you will need your team to back up whichever position you are choosing to snipe from (for example, if you are on the catwalk, then your team needs to control Froman and the base for you to remain safe).

Priority 2 Weapons

• Battle Rifle

There are many powerful Battle Rifles on this map, and if you’re in a matchmaking game with an Assault Rifle, you should find a Battle Rifle as soon as possible. You can scope in on long-distance targets, which is great for people running in low, open areas. Team shooting is essential with this map.

• Brute Shot

Although the reload time is quick (after three shots), the Brute Shot is excellent for getting some unwanted intruder out of your base. This can flip a small vehicle off the direction they were heading, slowing down a larger vehicle.

• Machinegun Turret

The Machinegun Turrets provide support in any game type. If you leave them attached to the tripod, you have unlimited ammo but are a sitting duck. Once you detach the Turret, you have 200 rounds. The Turret is a heavy gun, causing the player to walk slower; however, constant jumping can help increase speed, or you can simply drop/throw the gun and pick it back up several times to reach your desired spot. Try not to stay attached to the Turret for long. You are highly vulnerable to Grenades, assassinations, snipers, and team shooting. If you detach it, it is best to stay near cover. Shooting at a freshly spawned Warthog is not a good idea, and you will probably die. If your team is under pressure, the Machinegun Turret can be used to counter vehicle attacks.

• Shotgun

Use the Shotgun for close-quarter killing. Once this gun is in an indoor place such as the base, Camp Froman, or Bubble Tower, it is likely no enemy will turn up alive. If you have a Shotgun, be sure to have a medium- to long-range weapon with you, such as the Battle Rifle or Sniper Rifle. The Shotgun is useless for long distances. The Shotgun is also ample for stopping ambushes or starting ambushes from the bottom sides of the base.

• Magnum

The Magnum is best used when dual wielded and can be effective in close-range situations, but it’s not recommended for this map. There are many other weapons available that are more useful than the Magnum.

• Needler

The Needler is good for midrange shooting and annoying the other team. It is best used in the open areas of the base. For best results, keep the scope directly on the target as they move.

• Plasma Pistol

The Plasma Pistol is good during an Objective game for quickly stopping opponents ambushing your base with vehicles. When dual wielded with an SMG or Spiker and when used with quick precision, one could clear a base.

• SMG

Since it has a fast firing rate, the SMG is great for close battles. SMG combos (such as SMGs and Plasma Pistols) kill fast and bring down shields for a quick melee. This weapon is perfect for sneak attacks into enemy bases during Objective games. However, the gun is useless at long range, such as on maps like Last Resort.

• Spiker

The Spiker takes up to 10 shots to kill a person and half that to bring someone’s shield down for a melee finish. It’s only good when used with other dual-wielding weapons. If you can be quick and precise, you can get a kill in close combat.

Vehicles

• Ghost

The Ghost can be used effectively in Objective games to back up your flag carrier. You can also use it in Slayer games, if your team controls the Spartan Laser. Splattering people running around on low ground is always fun and extremely irritating to the opposite team.

• Mongoose

The Mongoose is great for fast travel around the map and to and from the bases. You can use it to drive people quickly to the base to plant a bomb or capture a flag. However, you are vulnerable to firing and to the Spartan Laser, so use it only for quick transport.

• Warthog

Defending, patrolling, or capturing with the Warthog is important in Objective games on this map. You can use it to quickly capture the flag, but make sure the opposing team isn’t using the Spartan Laser or your joyride won’t last long. It’s always nice when your team has the Spartan Laser; then you won’t get killed, thus preventing the other team from getting a double kill. The only time you should have a passenger in the Warthog is when someone has the flag or bomb. Try to limit taking passengers, as your shots will not be as accurate, and it is easy for a triple kill.

Equipment

• Active Camo

Active Camo can be used to sneak into the base to plant a bomb or steal a flag. If you are using it to steal the flag, go up the staircase so people outside don’t see a flag floating across the field. Combining the Camo with a Shotgun is also a deadly way to infiltrate the base or to just sneak around and get kills in a Team Slayer game.

• Bubble Shield

The Bubble Shield lasts 20 seconds and temporarily provides shots from outside the bubble. Great for recovering a flag, dealing with heatedly contested areas, and firing from long range.

• Power Drain

Power Drain is used to damage players and vehicles. It simply depletes the player’s shield, making them one-shot kills. Throw this over the flag spawn or bomb location to take out the offense, or throw it at vehicles within range to either destroy or commandeer it.

• Tree Camper

Topographical Overview

Last Resort Layout with Weapons & Equipment

1.Beach

Other Names: n/a

The Beach is the offensive spawn for Capture the Flag and Bomb games. One end of the beach contains a Warthog, two Mongooses, a Ghost, and the Bomb spawn for One Bomb. Near these vehicles are two staircases leading up to the seawall (the large wall separating the beach from the interior of the map). You can take the vehicles to the other side of the beach through the archway, which leads you into the map’s interior. You can also scale the bottom of the seawall to find a little walkway or tunnel leading to the archway.

2. Seawall

Other Names: Territory 1

The seawall divides the beach from the interior of the map. Atop the staircases on the seawall are two pathways. One leads to your left and the other to your right. Near these pathways lie two Battle Rifles, an Assault Rifle, a Spiker, and two Frag Grenades.

3. Seawall Windows

Other Names: n/a

Just above the Battle Rifles, you will see a rocky path leading to the seawall windows. The windows provide a good sniping position into the interior of the map. There are also two Spike Grenades lying at the foot of the window.

4. Seawall Cubby and BR Window

Other Names: n/a

Taking the left pathway from the seawall, you will find the pathway splits in two. The left side leads to the seawall cubby, which spawns a Bubble Shield and a Magnum. The right path leads to BR Window and BR staircase. BR Window has a little window with a Battle Rifle resting below it and a staircase. Looking through the window, you can see a large open expanse with a huge rotating wheel. The stairway leads out to this open expanse. Jumping out of the seawall cubby, you will land in Froman Rocks and a small structure called Camp Froman.

5. Camp Froman

Other Names: Froman, Top Froman, Bottom Froman, Territory 3

Camp Froman is a small, two-level platform with stairs running up both sides. There is a hole in the rear of the top level; this allows you to drop into the bottom level. This platform is called Camp Froman because of the small plaque with the words “Froman” mounted on the wall on the top level. The top and bottom levels are called Top Froman and Bottom Froman.

6. Top Froman

Other Names: Froman 2, Territory 3

At the top of the staircases on the seawall side lies a Battle Rifle. Inside Top Froman you will find a Sniper Rifle, four fusion coils, and two Frag Grenades.

7. Bottom Froman

Other Names: Froman 1

If you fall down the hole in the rear of Top Froman, you will land inside Bottom Froman, where you will find three doors. One to your left, which leads to the generators; one to your right, which leads to Froman Rock; and one straight in front of you, which leads to the wheel. Below your feet lie Brute Shot and the Gravity Lift (which you can use to return to Top Froman by placing it beneath the hole). To the right you will find a Spiker and two Spike Grenades. To the left lies a Plasma Pistol. The door directly in front of you has another fusion coil, which you can use to destroy approaching enemies (but do not stand too close because it can be used against you).

8. Froman Rocks

Other Names: n/a

This is the small group of rocks outside Camp Froman. Two Frag Grenades spawn next to the door leading into Bottom Froman.

9. Catwalk

Other Names: Catwalk Stairs

The set of stairs on the base side (catwalk stairs) on Top Froman leads to a catwalk that traverses the side of the map. The catwalk contains seven fusion coils and an SMG. From the catwalk, you can see down into the generators and can view a large part of the map. This is a good spot from which to snipe, but it has little to no cover. At the end of the catwalk, there is a hole in the grating that leads down to the generators.

10. Generators

Other Names: Pillars

The generators are the large pillarlike structures in the open area between the Garage and Camp Froman. There are two sets: a set of three and a set of two. Behind the generators below the catwalk on the small cemented area lie two Frag Grenades. Only pass through this area to reach the base or escape with a flag; the low ground here makes it very easy for enemies to pick you off.

11. Garage

Other Names: n/a

If you are standing in the generators, there are two large openings into the base area. The one to your left leads to the garage. Just at the opening are several barriers or gates that you can open by using the gate control in the base. This room is referred to as the “garage,” which contains one Brute Shot and leads into a large room called the “base.”

12. Above Garage

Other Names: n/a

If you are on the catwalk and pass the hole that drops down into the generators, you are in the area called “Above Garage.” This area will lead you into the top level of the base.

13. Base

Other Names: Base, Bottom Side Froman, Bottom Side Bubble, Gate Control, Loading Bay, Froman Side Turret, Bubble Side Turret, Territory 5

Base

Loading Bay

The base is the defensive spawn for Capture the Flag and One Bomb games. The base is a multilevel area with multiple stairways and entrances leading in and out. It is your defensive stronghold to protect your flag from thieves or to protect your base from enemy bombs. The bottom level of the base is heavily equipped for defense with two Assault Rifles, two Battle Rifles, two Frag Grenades, an SMG, a Spiker, a Plasma Pistol, a Magnum, and three fusion coils. There are two small doorways leading outside the base and one very large gated opening called Loading Bay. The two bottom doors lead to Bottom Side Froman and Bottom Side Bubble. There are three staircases leading to the top level. The top of the staircase nearest to the garage has a Battle Rifle and an entryway to Above Garage and the base’s top level. The staircase directly opposite the garage has a Power Drain and breaks off to the second level of the base and a miniature catwalk above your head.

14. Bottom Side Froman and Bottom Side Bubble

Other Names: n/a

The two doorways from the base’s bottom level lead to these two small rooms. The side nearest Camp Froman is Bottom Side Froman, and the side nearest Bubble Tower is Bottom Side Bubble. Offensive teams will use these doorways a lot; oftentimes, in Objective games, enemies will camp in there while waiting for their team. So check them periodically to make sure there aren’t any lurkers!

15. Base 2

Other Names: n/a

Base 2

Gate Controls

The third staircase between the doors leading to Bottom Side Froman and Bottom Side Bubble will lead you to the base’s second floor. This staircase has two Spike Grenades and a Brute Shot and will lead you to Base 2. At the top of the staircase, you can take one of the two doorways to your right or left; both go to the gate controls. Holding the right bumper at the gate controls opens the gates sitting at the bottom of the loading bay and garage. The two doors behind you to your right and left, which contain a Spiker on both sides, lead to Froman Side Turret and Bubble Side Turret. The hole blown into the wall at the far side of Base 2 leads outside to the Bubble Tower. Directly behind you, you can continue to follow the stairs out to Spartan Laser Spawn.

16. Froman Turret and Bubble Turret

Other Names: Froman Side Turret, Bubble Side Turret

These are the two platforms from the doorways in Base 2. One leads to Camp Froman and the other to Bubble Tower. In the covered entrances on each side, there is a Needler and two Assault Rifles (one on each side of the platforms). Use these Turrets for defense in an Objective game and as backup to take out vehicles. However, if the other team has a sniper, you are an easy target sitting still on a Turret.

17. Bubble Tower

Other Names: N/A

The Bubble Tower is the structure between the seawall and the base. It has two levels—Top Bubble and Bottom Bubble—and a small group of rocks next to it.

18. Top Bubble

Other Names: Bubble 2

This is the upper level of the Bubble Tower. It contains the Bubble Shield and leads to the Wheel Bridge. On the way up to Top Bubble from Shotgun Spawn, you will find a Battle Rifle lying against the wall. This is a good vantage point to watch for people trying to rush your base. Grab the Shotgun from the wheel end and take it to Top Bubble; easily kill people walking through to the base.

19. Bottom Bubble

Other Names: Bubble 1

The lower level of Bubble Tower contains a Brute Shot and leads to Bottom Wheel. Directly outside the door leading to the wheel are two Spike Grenades and a fusion coil.

20. Bubble Rocks

Other Names: n/a

The small group of rocks next to Bubble Tower leading to the base is Bubble Rocks. People may crouch behind these rocks, so always make sure the area is clear if you’re defending.

21. Shotgun Spawn

Other Names: Territory 2

The small landing between Sniper Spawn and Bubble Tower is called Shotgun Spawn, which over looks the Wheel Courtyard. This is the spawn point for Red Team. The Shotgun is at the top of the stairs, coming from the archway. Near the bottom of the stairs, close to the rotating wheel, lies a Needler. A Spiker rests against the column in the middle of Shotgun Spawn. Leaning up against Bottom Bubble is an Assault Rifle and two Frag Grenades.

22. Sniper Spawn

Other Names: n/a

This pathway is between Shotgun Spawn and the seawall and is directly above the archway. Sniper Spawn contains one of the two Sniper Rifles and has a good vantage point of Camp Froman and Bubble Turret. The sniper stairs take you back to the seawall.

23. Wheel

Other Names: n/a

The wheel is the large rotating fan set in the center of the map. It has two levels and contains Wheel Bridge and allows you to see down into the Wheel Courtyard.

24. Top Wheel

Other Names: Wheel 2, Territory 4

You can reach the Top Wheel (the smaller wheel in the center of the large wheel) from Top Bubble. To get to Top Wheel from Top Bubble, you must release the bridge by performing a melee attack on the small box on the gate. This will lower the gate leading to Top Wheel. You can also reach Top Bubble from Laser Spawn and can drop in one of the holes in the axis of the wheel to reach the Active Camo. You also have a vantage point on enemies in the Wheel Courtyard trying to make their way into the base.

25. Bottom Wheel

Other Names: n/a

A Shotgun spawns at the wheel’s bottom section, near the far end (the end nearest Camp Froman, referred to as Wheel End).. An SMG spawns on the side opposite Wheel End. It is a good idea not to stay here, as it is the lowest point of the map, making you vulnerable to attack.

26. Wheel Courtyard

Other Names: n/a

A Needler is in the open expanse between the wheel and the seawall, lying up against the wall of Bottom Wheel nearest Bubble Tower. It is recommended that you only drive through here; if you walk, you will probably get sniped or taken out by people on higher ground. You can take BR Staircase toward the seawall or the staircase up to Shotgun Spawn if you need cover.

27. Wheel Bridge

Other Names: n/a

You can let down the bridge to reach Top Wheel; to release it, melee it or shoot it. Releasing the bridge will make a lot of noise, so it’s not the stealthiest approach.

28. Laser Spawn

Other Names: n/a

The Laser platform is between Top Wheel and the base. The Spartan Laser spawns here, and you can take out vehicles and people running into the base. There isn’t very much cover, so be careful and retreat into the base if necessary

29. Under Laser

Other Names: n/a

The area underneath Laser Spawn contains two fusion coils. People will walk through here to get into Bottom Side Bubble and Bottom Side Froman. You can easily snipe people walking through here from Top Froman or the catwalk. There are two Frag Grenades lying against the wall in between Bottom Side Froman and Bottom Side Bubble. Next to the entryway to Bottom Side Bubble are two fusion coils.
