Sova’s sunset sniper shots: All about it!


A-site lineups
1) A-lobby to A-Elbow
One of the most important recon lineups on the Sunset map, this dart gives essential intel on enemy positioning at the A-Elbow entry to A-Site. It helps your team to plan an attack and perhaps catch some enemies early in the round.

Steps to follow:
  • At the start of the round, go to the corner of A-Lobby, near the barrier.
  • Look straight to the wall of A-Elbow, up to the row of windows at the top.
  • Align your crosshair with the middle of the second window from the right.
  • Charge the recon dart fully and shoot.
  • The dart should bounce once before landing on top of the A-Elbow wall, with an outline of enemies holding angles around this area.
  • With this launch, you reveal possible threats, helping your team decide on the approach to A-Site.

2) A-Lobby to A-Site
Perfect for gathering vision of A-Site except for A-Alley and for players below the ledge. This information is vital for planning your approach to A-Site after the barrier drops.

Steps to follow:
  • Once the barrier drops, move to the corner near A-Lobby and position yourself against the wall.
  • Look towards the wall near A-Elbow, directly in front of you.
  • Line your crosshair up with the wire, making sure that the first bar charge lines up with the wall.
  • Fire the recon dart with a single charge.
  • The dart will fly over the wall onto the A-Site, revealing most of the area except an A-Alley view and any enemies who may be beneath the ledge.
  • This setup provides critical information about the site, allowing a more confident plan into the site for your team.
B Site Line-Ups:
1) B Main to B Site
This recon lineup is excellent for surety of B-main access and whoever happens to be hiding on B-site: good for information gathering as you go towards site or prep your defensive hold.

Steps to follow:
  • First, have your team take B-Main, then set up this lineup.
  • Move to the corner in B-main for a clear line of sight towards B-site entry.
  • Focus on the B-site entry and find the ledge.
  • Place your crosshair on the small line near the edge of the ledge.
  • Using a single charge, fire the recon dart and allow it to soar across B-site, landing on the wall near B-Market. This recon dart will prove especially useful in spotting any enemies by the B-Market or by even being held along a few choice angles, giving you a chance at defeating B-site.

2) B-Lobby to B-Back Site
To really take B-Site during the attacking phase, B-Lobby control is important. This recon dart shows the whole B-Back Site. That helps making tactical decisions in the team's attack based on enemy location.

Steps to follow:
  • Position yourself by the blue box in B-Lobby for an optimal view of B-Site.
  • Raise your aim upwards into the sky, aligning your HUD close to the "E" on the ledge.
  • Fire off a recon dart using two charges to ensure it lands right on the back site.
  • The dart would fly over B-Site and land close to the B-Back Site to reveal anything present within their ranks. It would really help in scouting out such intel with respect to defensive positions being held in B-Back Site by rivals so that your team can prepare itself with the right information required for either a converged assault or defense.

Once you master these Sova recon lineups on Sunset, you will have gained a toll for your team that improves their chances of winning on both A and B Site. Such moves are vital in pushing an aggressive action or defensive strategy that informs reality into your favor at turn matches.
