Rooftop evac with wide sightlines—throw smokes/stuns before you run.
Cliff LiftExit
Cliffside lift, best exit after Garage → Tower; stay off open sightlines.
Recommended routes
Garage gear farm → Tower exit
- Start in the Warehouse Complex underground parking; clear outer ring cars before inner stalls.
- Move up the ramp to the Communication Tower; hit lockers/toolboxes on the way.
- Leave via the cliffside path to the Cliff Lift; watch for rooftop snipers.
Research sprint → Helipad
- Drop into the Vertical Shaft labs; grab batteries and electronic modules first.
- If you have the key, clear Confiscation Room for stacked tech loot.
- Exit via the tower roof Helipad—pre-clear high ground before committing.
Pro tips
#1
40+ vehicles—run a ring route to avoid missing trunks.
#2
Plan extraction once half-full; both exits get camped often.
#3
Tower windows host snipers—move with cover and smokes.
