ONSEN

Prebrief

Assault a remote Japanese hot spring in Yamanashi as a clandestine deal falls apart and fighting erupts. In this new small-sized map designed for 6v6 and 2v2 play, Operators deploy to a slice of paradise in the mountains, though there’s no time for a relaxing bath until the enemy is defeated.

From the entrance, head into the Bath House on your way to the Hot Springs where steam rises off the water; or swing out to the River for clearer sights. On the south side, engage in close quarter fights within the War Room as players compete for access to the balcony and its views over the central path. Whatever your approach, cinch victory at all costs, then let off some steam in the sauna and celebrate your win.

Onsen Intel

1. Steam the competition. Use the rising steam over the Onsen to sneak up on enemies and attack them without being seen. Land the elimination and then retreat behind the veil of cover, preparing for the next passerby.

2. Underpass flank: Warm your feet in the Underpass running beneath the War Room, with its stone walls keeping you hidden from the center path. Move out to the sides or attack from the middle opening, then slide back into cover to evade returning shots.

3. The long view: While the War Room’s balcony offers clear sights over the map’s center, Operators here are also greatly exposed to counterattacks. For greater concealment, opt for the vantage points in the Bath House and Lodge, providing views down the middle with a more reliable means of escape.
