How Meltdown plays

On the ground, Meltdown is defined by central cooling tower control point, industrial power-plant structures and vertical elements. Those are the features to read first — they decide where fights open up, which angles are safe to hold, and how you rotate between objectives. Its mix of ranges suits a balanced assault-rifle class with a mid-range optic and Toughness to steady your aim while trading fire.

Hazards & features to learn:

• Central cooling tower control point
