Open interactive Chalet strats →Ban recommendations
- Buck (attack) — Vertical play from above is the primary attack strategy on most Chalet sites. Without Buck, attackers lose their strongest pressure tool.
- Sledge (attack) — Chalet's extensive soft floors make Sledge's vertical destruction devastating. Banning him alongside Buck cripples vertical play entirely.
- Bandit (defense) — Wine Cellar and Snowmobile Garage walls require Bandit tricking to hold. His batteries are essential for basement site defense.
- Valkyrie (defense) — Chalet's many exterior approaches and balconies make Valkyrie's outside cameras invaluable for early warning and C4 kills.
