Fortress — Kitchen / Cafeteria (1F)
Operator picks, callouts, utility, and bans for Kitchen / Cafeteria on Fortress. Both attack and defense covered.
Open interactive Kitchen / Cafeteria strat →1F — Kitchen / Cafeteria
attack
Sledge sets the tempo — Sledge plays vertical from 2F to pressure Kitchen anchors through the soft floor. Flores clears anti-breach and Thermite opens Kitchen on a coordinated count. Zero entries first; Finka holds the back-side angles. Mosque connector is the fast rotation — pre-clear with utility before exec.
defense
Setup is intel-first: Valkyrie hides Black Eye cameras outside the site for early rotation and entry reads. Kaid secures the Kitchen wall, Aruni covers projectile lanes. Pulse hunts info from 2F/1F connectors while Goyo anchors site. Anchor Cafeteria — Kitchen has too many entry vectors.
Map-wide ban recommendations (Fortress)
- Thatcher (attack ban) — Fortress's reinforced walls on Commander Office and Kitchen depend on electronics. Banning Thatcher forces hard-breach gambles.
- Buck (attack ban) — Vertical from above Hammam and Briefing is the cleanest 2F→1F pressure. Buck is the most reliable open-floor option.
- Maestro (defense ban) — Evil Eyes covering Cafeteria and Sitting Room plant spots are extremely hard to clear. Forces attackers to spend utility before plant.
- Goyo (defense ban) — Volcan shields in Fortress's narrow corridors deny rotations and create plant-denial fire walls. Hard counter to standard executes.
