Yacht — Complete Strategy Guide

Operator picks, callouts, utility, and ban recommendations for every bomb site. Free tactical guide from Recon 6.

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.

4F — Cockpit / Maps Room

attack

HibanaThatcher SledgeAsh Lion

Map control first: Lion and Ash clear Maps Room side while Sledge sets up vertical pressure. Sledge works the soft floors below Cockpit to control rotation paths. Once site is droned and roamers are pressured, Thatcher clears the wall and Hibana opens. Helipad approach is exposed — clear with utility before pushing 4F.

KaidEcho AruniCaveira Azami

Kaid denies the hard-breach on Cockpit with electrified walls. Echo covers site entries with cameras and feeds rotation calls. Aruni ADS protect anchors from grenades. Caveira roams to delay the push; Azami provides sustain or last-second plant denial. Mira on the Cockpit/Maps wall reads the standard helipad push.
