Quick Strategy Tips

Full guide

Nepal is a Himalayan mountain control map with three sub-maps: Village, a traditional outdoor settlement; Shrine, an open mountain path with a platform point; and Sanctum, an indoor monastery interior. Village is an open area with multiple route options. Shrine features a raised platform control point above a drop. Sanctum is a tight indoor environment with close-quarter fights. Nepal is distinctive because all three sub-maps reward very different playstyles, requiring teams to adapt their composition and strategy significantly. This map is particularly notorious for Sanctum's enclosed space enabling explosive ultimate combinations.
