Vanguard is a Control Point map set in a construction site. It was made an official map in the Tough Break Update.

Locations

Control Point 3

The middle capture is located in the center of the yard, underneath a suspended board.

  • Entrances: For each team, there are five entrances through their team colored buildings: The side entrance, the above platform, the center doorway, the unfinished wall, and the doorway next to the unfinished wall.
  • Scaffolding: To the sides of the yard in the structures are rows of scaffolding bridges. The scaffolding can be used for cover, or as a path to the board above the point.
  • Center Yard: The yard with the control point is an open area with no cover. Above the control point is a suspended board with a medium ammo kit on it.
  • Secondary Spawn: Inside each team's entrance structure is a secondary spawn that will become active once their respective team has captured all but the last control point.

Control Point 2 & 4

The second and fourth control point are on a piece of scaffolding next to an elevator.

  • Elevator: To the side of the control point is an inactive elevator tower. The elevator is at the second floor, turning the bottom floor into a walkway into the adjunct building. The elevator itself can be used as a lookout, and a teleporter hiding spot.
  • Center Scaffolding: The scaffolding holding the control point is a raised platform with a bridge across to the team spawn.
  • Right Balcony: Overlooking the control point is a structure with a balcony that can provide suppressive fire against the enemy team.
  • Left Building: The structure to the left of the control point that links to the elevator.

Control Point 1 & 5

The final Control Point is to the side in the middle of a section of computer terminals.

  • Air Vent: An air vent lays on the side of the building, allowing an ambush to the enemy team's spawn doors.
  • Observation Room: Overlooking the control point is a large observation room. The glass is one way, allowing for sneak attacks.
  • Control Area: The terminal area with the control point.
