Operator picks, callouts, utility, and ban recommendations for every bomb site. Free tactical guide from Recon 6.
Open interactive Yacht strats →Ban recommendations
- Sledge (attack) — Yacht's vertical layout (Cockpit/Maps above Engine sites) favors Sledge floor-drop play. Banning him kills vertical pressure.
- Thatcher (attack) — Engine Control and Cockpit reinforced walls are heavily electrified. Thatcher is mandatory for reliable hard breach.
- Mira (defense) — Black Mirrors in Cafeteria and Engine Control cover Yacht's central rotation paths — extremely hard to clear with limited utility.
- Lesion (defense) — Gu mines on Yacht's narrow stairwells and corridors waste attacker time and provide constant intel on rotations.
2F — Cafeteria / Staff Dormitory
attack
Sledge sets the tempo — Sledge opens floors from above to deny defender anchor positions. Thatcher clears anti-breach and Hibana opens Cafeteria on a coordinated count. Ash entries first; Lion holds the back-side angles. Crew Stairs is the back-flank — Nomad denies it during the execute.
defense
Setup is intel-first: Echo covers site entries with cameras and feeds rotation calls. Kaid secures the Cafeteria wall, Aruni covers projectile lanes. Pulse hunts info from 2F/1F connectors while Mozzie anchors site. Bandit-trick the Cafeteria exterior wall — common hard-breach line.
2F — Engine Control / Kitchen
attack
Zofia sets the tempo — Zofia opens floors from above to deny defender anchor positions. Thatcher clears anti-breach and Hibana opens Engine Control on a coordinated count. Ash entries first; Fuze holds the back-side angles. Sun Deck vertical pressure denies Engine Control anchor.
defense
Setup is intel-first: Echo covers site entries with cameras and feeds rotation calls. Mute secures the Engine Control wall, Jager covers projectile lanes. Pulse hunts info from 2F/1F connectors while Lesion anchors site. Maestro Evil Eye in Engine Control covers both Kitchen plant spots.
1F — Server Room / Engine Storage
attack
Sledge sets the tempo — Sledge plays vertical from 2F to pressure Server Room anchors through the soft floor. Thatcher clears anti-breach and Hibana opens Server Room on a coordinated count. Ash entries first; Lion holds the back-side angles. Open Bow hatches with Sledge — vertical exec from above is cleanest.
defense
Setup is intel-first: Echo covers site entries with cameras and feeds rotation calls. Kaid secures the Server Room wall, Aruni covers projectile lanes. Pulse hunts info from 2F/1F connectors while Mozzie anchors site. Reinforce Server ceiling — primary vertical threat from 2F.
