When the driveway opens into the mansion’s main entrance, it forms a funnel that may be used by either side of the entry if necessary. When defending the target, cover is provided from the walled buildings and the parked vehicle. Just keep an eye out for the broad flank that circles Payback’s east end.
Greetings from the Dining Room, the primary Payback engagement location. Here, you may discover a number of goals, including as Hardpoint, Domination, and Search & Destroy. Because of its many entrances, controlling the dining room may be difficult, despite its many benefits. This area is connected to the Saferoom; to provide a little more protection, flee here and close the security door.
In addition to being the highest height, the Library is the site of other goals. It may be used to flank adversaries in the dining room or to establish an edge over them in the garden. There is always a fantastic window that you may plunge through to avoid danger if the place becomes too heated.
The Garden is more open than the rest of the map, although the trellis construction blocks the view down the alley. As a result, it is a place where a wide variety of encounters take place. To try a broad flank or to reach the rear of the building, use the right-east lane. Keep an eye out for approaching bombs above.
From the Terrace spawn, you may either proceed straight through the blown hole in the house for a more direct encounter or continue southeast via the Garage to fight foes at the Garden. Alternatively, for a height advantage in the Library, go directly through the Kitchen and up the stairs.
There is a straight sniper way from the Bedroom to the Garage, which is located at the furthest end of the Garden. For snipers and LMG fans, this is a great place to take control of the majority of the Garden. There is a ladder and a big hole in the smashed window on the other side. Players may use weapons and shoot down on anybody trying to cross from the southern side of the area here in the Bedroom.
The Saferoom can provide a huge advantage if you know how to use it. The security door can be opened from either side, so stay vigilant as enemies approach. However, with it shut there are a few strategies when it comes to using the door to your advantage.
Â
The door opens slowly, giving you time to turn around and prepare to defend the Saferoom. This is also where Counter UAVs and Scramblers will obscure your location. Try using Prox Alarm cues to know when to escape out the other side of the Saferoom and do a wide flank, especially on non-respawn modes or after your team has taken control of the Headquarters.
The mansion can get hot with enemy fire and explosives, but so can the exterior. If you’re in desperate need for an escape route from the top floor of the mansion, try diving out of the Bedroom window into the cellars to give you a bit of cover. From here there are several options, but getting here is the first step.
