If the enemy tries to peek from Yellow, be on the lookout to kill them. To attack Icebox, you'll first need to have control of B-Main and enemies lurking beside Yellow. One thing to remember is that Top B and Lower B are sometimes referred to as Heaven and Hell. With a bit of practice alongside beginner-friendly agents, you'll get a hold of these callouts. The other callouts can be seen by opening the map by pressing Caps Lock (depends on keybind), but the planting spot callouts aren't on the map. There are a lot of Icebox B-site callouts you can check out above, but the ones you want to give special attention to are the planting spot callouts. Here are all the main Icebox B-site callouts: Icebox B-site callouts | © Riot Games B Site Icebox Guide: Strategies, Callouts, Tips & Tricks These are a lot of good locations for enemies to be camping, so use tons of detecting and flash abilities to make them reposition and kill them for that defuse. You can expect enemies to be hiding in Hell, besides Generator, Nest, and even Top Site with Maze. Flanks are also a viable option, but you won't be doing that most of the time. Retakes are really hard on Icebox since there are only 2 main ways you can enter the site: Screens and Heaven. Cypher A-Main trap example | © Riot Games You'll catch them off guard and pick off some easy kills. This will make it harder for the enemies to see you and you'll also get insight into where they are. Other than that, use smokes and traps like Cyphertraps at A-main, Maze, and right at the entry of Generator. You can do this with agents that can easily back off such as Jett. And you can do this by g etting the zipline and dropping off on Pipes for an easy kill while the enemies are entering, then back off on-site fast. Your goal is to catch them off-guard from unusual angles. How To Defend A Site on Iceboxĭefending A-site on Icebox is a bit tricky depending on the enemies you're playing against. And if that Sentinel agent trap went off, you should also keep a close eye for enemies coming from the back. So watch these locations closely, and don't be afraid to use your abilities here to make it harder for the enemies to retake the site. When you plant the spike, you can expect enemies to enter the site through Screens and Heaven. But if you're pressured by enemies, do a safe plant at Default besides the boxes. You should aim to plant the spike between Default and Generator so it'll be visible from Nest. When you know where the general location of your enemies is, use flash abilities to take the site easily. Once you smoke these angles off, use detecting abilities such as KAY/O's knife at Generator, Screens, or the object in front of Default to get some insight on the site. Here you'll want to smoke off Top Site, Heaven, and sometimes Maze depending on your entry point. Since A-site has a lot of angles, your first goal is to close them off by smoking them. Send 1-2 players through Belt and the others through A-Main, and Pipes and Nest which are accessible through the zipline. Have a Sentinel agent place a trap right at the entry of the A-site building. You'll want to attack and enter A-site on Icebox with your whole team. Though these are all the on-site callouts you'll need to kill enemies with the best melees on A-site, there are still other ones you must know from the main map callouts like Pipes, Nest, and Belt.
