Rise held the biggest advantage over Kaliber in the third Hardpoint, Storage, especially during the first rotation. Methodz sat in the hill with an AR while his three SMGs pushed out other parts of the map, which helped Rise build an early lead.<\/p> <\/p>
It also seems like the fifth Hardpoint, Smokestacks, could be one of the most action-packed hills in WWII<\/em>. Teams that get control of the back side of this Hardpoint spawn extremely close to Smokestacks, which means that they can quickly get back into the hill after dying.<\/p>
But even though these spawns can be very beneficial, they can also lead to a team’s demise, as seen at the end of this game. Rise got control of Smokestacks from the front, so they knew Kaliber were spawning in the back. Methodz rained fire down from the sky with his Fighter Pilot while the rest of his team focused on the Kaliber players inside of Map Room as Rise collected the final seconds of hill time to win the game.<\/p>
We’ll continue to learn new spots and tactics for Valkyrie Hardpoint as the map is played more frequently in the CWL Pro League. But for now, it seems like CWL fans can expect Valkyrie Hardpoint to be a hectic map with a lot of aggressive SMGs and high kill totals\u2014Rise and Kaliber combined for 215 kills on this map last night, even though nobody on Kaliber had over 26 frags.<\/p>
