Outback — Complete Strategy Guide
Operator picks, callouts, utility, and ban recommendations for every bomb site. Free tactical guide from Recon 6.
Open interactive Outback strats →Ban recommendations
- Sledge (attack) — Outback's 2F sites (Laundry/Piano, Party/Office) have soft floors above. Sledge from Reception/Compressor dominates verticals.
- Thatcher (attack) — Mechanic and Bedroom reinforced walls require electronic clearing. Banning Thatcher hurts attacker execute reliability.
- Maestro (defense) — Evil Eyes covering Mechanic and Office plant spots are extremely hard to clear given Outback's open sightlines.
- Ela (defense) — Grzmot mines in Outback's connector hallways waste attacker time and provide constant intel on rotations.
2F — Laundry / Piano
attack
Open with Kali clearing electronics, then Maverick hits the Laundry wall on call. Buck opens floors from above to deny defender anchor positions. Ying pushes through the breach with Glaz covering rotations. Reception vertical pressure denies Piano anchor cleanly. Patient drone-up is mandatory — do not dry-push Laundry.
defense
Anchored 4, roaming 1: Mozzie, Wamai, Bandit, and Maestro hold site; Alibi plays off-site for pick potential and timing pressure. Maestro sets Evil Eyes covering Laundry plant spots and the main entry corridor. Roam Bushranger — most attacker map control starts from there.
2F — Party / Office
attack
Maverick opens the Party Room reinforced wall while Kali clears anti-breach electronics. Zofia opens floors from above to deny defender anchor positions. Ying drones the site and entries through the breach once utility is gone. Fuze watches flanks and trades on the execute. Compressor Room is a strong vertical — Buck opens above Office.
defense
Hold Office as the trade lane — Doc anchors there. Mute denies breach on Party Room, Maestro sets Evil Eyes covering Party Room plant spots and the main entry corridor. Jager catches grenades; Caveira cycles flanks to bait isolated entries. Mira on the Office/Party wall reads the standard split push.
1F — Green Bedroom / Red Bedroom
attack
Layered execute: Fuze flashes from main, Ying pushes Red Bedroom for the trade, Maverick and Kali hit Green Bedroom simultaneously. Zofia plays vertical from 2F to pressure Green Bedroom anchors through the soft floor. Convenience Store is the fast 1F rotation — pre-clear with utility. Plant goes down with Ying covering, Zofia watching above.
defense
Alibi forces attackers to play slow — early picks from off-site keep their utility on flank-watch. Mute on the Green Bedroom wall, Maestro sets Evil Eyes covering Green Bedroom plant spots and the main entry corridor. Jager denies projectile spam, Lesion sustains anchors. Anchor Red Bedroom — Green has too many soft walls to defend.
1F — Mechanic Shop / Kitchen
attack
Maverick opens the Mechanic Shop reinforced wall while Kali clears anti-breach electronics. Zofia plays vertical from 2F to pressure Mechanic Shop anchors through the soft floor. Ying drones the site and entries through the breach once utility is gone. Fuze watches flanks and trades on the execute. Servo Stairs vertical drop catches Mechanic anchors off guard.
defense
Hold Kitchen as the trade lane — Mozzie anchors there. Mute denies breach on Mechanic Shop, Maestro sets Evil Eyes covering Mechanic Shop plant spots and the main entry corridor. Jager catches grenades; Ela cycles flanks to bait isolated entries. Bandit-trick the Mechanic exterior wall — common Hibana target.
