Operation Shipment
International Waters
Day 47, 00:32
Factions Deployed: SpecGru / KorTac
A little chaos is good for the soul, not to mention the beauty of XP gains on a tiny map like Shipment. In this iteration of the fan-favorite classic, the scene of battle moves to the high seas as SpecGru and KorTac forces face off against each other among stacked containers and crates filled with cash and illicit goods.
No plan survives contact with the enemy, yet even on this compact field there are tactics and strategies worth considering when fighting for that victory screen. Let’s dive in and perfect the fundamentals.
Spawn Point: KorTac
KorTac Spawn Zone (North) — Bridge Side
While there are designated starting spawns for both teams, expect those spawns to change up quickly once the match commences. KorTac forces begin on the Bridge Side in the northeast section, ready to break south, west, or straight into the middle. Whichever direction you choose, be ready to engage in seconds.
Defensive-minded players may choose to hang back and wait for the enemy, using the crates as cover. You can also set up camp in the eastern red container to ambush enemy Operators coming off the break, though we suggest a more active start: there’s room for defensive measures later in the match.
Spawn Point: SpecGru
SpecGru Spawn Zone (South) – Drug Stash
SpecGru forces begin the match in the southwest corner of the map, also positioned near an open crate providing west-east passage and a nearby half-open crate open only toward the starting spawn. The strategy for the break is largely the same: there are two main paths leading north and east, or you can book it for the center straight into the mayhem.
