Only natural light comes from the ventilation shaft above the pit, which can be seen as a little portion of a Russian mining tunnel that passes through a cave. – Pit

With arches leading to a nearby barracks, the Tunnel spawn faces the cave. The rails are flanked by two mine carts, one uncovered and the other covered. To get a better perspective, climb up atop the first, or crouch inside the second for long-lasting cover that faces the Cave and returns to the beginning spawn.
You have power over the map if you can control the cave. Not as easy as it seems. It is open terrain with sight lines coming from both sides, the upper Pipe, and the ledges, with the exception of the overturned mine cart in the centre, which provides some protection for operators below. Be cautious while treading.
In the Generator or the Barracks, use the yellow ladder to reach the top pipe. In addition to providing rapid access across and back down to the lower level, the ledges on each side of the pipe provide some protection while shooting across and down. As an alternative, you may leap from the overturned mining cart below and climb up to Pipe.
Shaft positions Operators by two mine carts, one full and one open, on the rails leading to the Cave, same as the opposite Tunnel spawn. You may either follow the more flanking way into the centre or duck into Generator on the side and climb up to Pipe.
There are several ways to reach Pipe besides using the ladders in the Generator and Barracks. To get to the higher level, leap from the top of the overturned waggon. Because standing on the centre cart temporarily exposes your location to several sightlines around the Cave, timing is crucial. Enjoy the elevated perspective once you’re on top.
Both ladders reach up to a tight turn toward the ledges by Pipe. You don’t have to move up all the way to the ledge or the crossing; stay within the pivot point to avoid exposure to the Cave while targeting the other end from a greater distance. You might also cross the map and climb the opposite ladder to come up on an enemy from behind.
Another overturned waggon is positioned up against the south side of the cave. Get a mid-height perspective by climbing on top of it, or crouch next to it for a covert look over the centre. With a rapid change of position, you can also climb up to Pipe from here, confusing your opponent.
