Expect a lot of action around the oil derrick, from sharpshooters on top of the structure to enemies on the ground using it for cover. The pipeline splits, in one direction onto the tower’s middle platform and in the other out against the north fence toward an oil derrick in the northwest corner of the map. In the north, the action takes place over and under a large pipeline. A south-facing ladder offers one of two access points to the tower’s middle platform here, where players gain a commanding view of the east side of the map with nearby pathways winding around and further up the tower. The sight lines open up a bit to the east, though watch the fuel tank and shipping crates for enemy movement. Learn the layout here to cut off enemy movement in a vital part of the map. Be ready to engage at a moment’s notice, and similarly in the maze underneath the tower, another close-quarters hot spot. To the south, a barricade and fuel depots offer bunched up cover where CQB shines.
It’s a high risk, high reward action that will tempt someone every match. Race up the south-facing exhaust chute or climb a ladder to reach the top. The tower’s top platform offers a near total view of the map below and because of that is such a highly valued power position.
The large central tower overlooks a field of pipes, fuel, shipping containers, and other industrial features. Rust is a small sized map set in an oil yard in the desert.
