This article is about Community Frosty strategy.
Note: It is recommended to read the main Frosty article first to become familiar with the names of key map locations used in this article.
General strategy (All Classes)
- Using knockback weapons to kill the Intelligence carrier by knocking them off a cliff immediately teleports the Intelligence briefcase back to the home base. If you are not near the cliff at the Tower, or notice the Intelligence carrier is not taking a route by the cliff, try to force the Intelligence carrier to divert to it in order to give your team a better chance of immediately resetting the briefcase.
- The Underground Tunnel can prove quite useful for escaping back to your team or pushing through without exposing yourself to Snipers.
- One of the fastest ways to reach the Intelligence is to use the Underground Tunnel to reach their courtyard and slip through the broken wall. Once you have the Intelligence, the stairwell on the left/right allows you to escape to the Pipeline and bring the briefcase back to your base. However, be wary of Snipers watching the exposed Pipeline area.
- The small health kit on the elevated platform in front of the Tower is a great place for classes with vertical mobility like the Scout, Soldier, or Demoman to take the high ground. The health pack mitigates part of the damage taken from an explosive jump, and the nearby rooftops can give the Scout access to the health kit without engaging in the ground-level combat.
Class-specific strategy
Scout
- At the beginning of the round, the Pipeline area or the Underground Tunnel can be used to reach the Intelligence before any Engineers can set up Sentry Guns.
- The Underground Tunnel can also be great for flanking Snipers, especially when using the Back Scatter.
- You can quickly reach the opposite Outer Courtyard by double jumping from the nearby rooftop at the front side of the Tower onto the platform, then jumping onto the opposing rooftop. This route also bypasses any ground-level combat going on.
- Using the Bonk! Atomic Punch lets you bypass most of the defenses the enemies have laid out by using it to run to the vent system just before the broken wall. When in the vent system make sure to take the pathway leading behind the Intelligence. Be wary of using this route too much as attentive Engineers will block the vent with a Dispenser, forcing you to flee or destroy it, exposing your position in the process.
- The enclosed nature of the Underground Tunnel makes hitting opponents with projectiles such as the Flying Guillotine, Sandman's baseball, Wrap Assassin's bauble, or the Mad Milk much easier due to the lack of space for the enemies to dodge.
