* By jumping from the catwalk you can get on top of the storage crates. This method can be useful for [[Spies]] and [[Pyro]]s trying to get behind the enemy and catch them in a surprise attack from the rear.
 
* When fighting around the point, use the containers to gain a height advantage. As a [[Demoman]] or [[Soldier]] you can [[Rocket jump]] up to them. If you're not a Rocket jumper, ([[Sniper]]s for instance are useful there) you can still get on the containers by jumping from the balcony ramps.
 
*The containers are not parallel to one another, so if you can avoid fall damage by landing on the edge of one container, then the floor. This is helpful for Spies to avoid taking unneeded damage.
 
*This map is much more Engineer-friendly than a lot of other Arena maps. Making a small base with a dispenser and sentry gun on your side of the map can give your team a point to fall back on in times of struggle, as well as support those who are temporarily retreating from the frontlines.
 
*The [[Sandman]] can be very useful here. Try to negate the height advantage of enemies in the central area by rendering them defenceless with a Sandman ball. The [[Flare Gun]] can also be used in a similar capacity.

Locations

Capture Point

The yard is a nearly identical copy of Granary's middle point.

  • Point: The point rests on an slightly elevated platform, surrounded by crates.
  • Catwalks: Connected from each team's garage are two metal catwalks which rest upon the far walls across from the point.
  • Crates: Surrounding the point are stacked large metal crates which can be jumped up to by Soldiers\Demomen or jumped to from the catwalks.

Spawn Areas

For the Arena version of Granary, what would usually be the yards outside Point 2 have been replaced with spawn areas.

  • Garage: Exiting right from spawn leads to the garage, which contains the main entrance to mid and a set of ramps which lead up to the catwalks.
  • Choke: Exiting left from spawn leads to a smaller entrance to mid, commonly known as choke for its tight area. This entrance exits out behind the crates.
  • Ledge: Immediately left of each spawn, there is a ledge that it is possible to stickyjump or rocket jump onto, above where the sign is located.
