While not as massive as the Airfield, the Runway does have a fair amount of planes during a Vanguard Royale, and otherwise acts as a less aggressive drop point for squads who want to play at a slower pace. This Gondola Station down off the Peak’s base is where you may want to rotate toward during a match, as it offers a well-covered, albeit incredibly obvious, way up and down the Peak in addition to potentially holding some leftover Loadout items or a contract. If the action is too hot for the squad to handle, they can easily jump out of the station and toward the Runway and Beachhead spots, or head to the other Gondola Station right near a massive Impact Crater. There are even some routes from here into the caverns, where those who went straight through the Crater can be caught off guard. It also has great views out to the Runway and Beachhead areas should you pick up an early Sniper Rifle.

Whether the squad wants to pivot out of jumping into the Crater or wants to travel up the Peak from Caldera’s northern sections, the Gondola Stations are solid choices for grabbing Loadout items off the jump or for repositioning.Īt the beginning of a Battle Royale, the Gondola Station on the Peak can have enough Supply Boxes, Loadout items, and contract spots to start a match strong. So long as you are ready to course correct if a squad starts taking potshots, jumping off the Peak after picking it clean could be the start to a potentially high kill record win. For an aggressive squad, parachuting down off the dormant volcano should not be an issue - it’s an extremely fast way to get around the map as you tactically pull and cut the ’chute. Then there is the potential reward for surviving Peak traffic: the ability to rotate to anywhere on the island from its highest elevation point. Its intricate tunnel system can contain Supply Boxes, loose Loadout items, and contracts ready to be picked up, making it a great place for aggressive squads who love CQB to stock up and fight plenty of enemies at the start of a match. The Peak’s Crater contains three small buildings and plenty of other spots for finding Loadout items or contracts, but the real reward is diving straight into the caldera itself. Still, they can be great spots for picking off rotating teams or taking a few moments to gain intel on the surrounding area before the next collapse rolls in.ĭespite the Phosphate Mines’ depth, Caldera’s peak literally overshadows it as an anticipated hot drop spot. While Downtown has several multistory buildings, such as the Hall and Library, that you can use for a lookout position, none have the towering presence that can lead a lone rifle user to dominate the area. Its City Hall and Library will immediately stand out, but look south of here to find a ton of service buildings - a Bank, Hospital, Police Station, Post Office, and more - which can contain contracts or other Loadout items to be picked up right off the drop. Those looking to drop here will want to use plenty of close-quarters tactics, using micro-movements to duck behind cover and focus on picking up Shotguns and SMGs to safely move between buildings.

When Caldera’s regions were first revealed, some community members pointed to the map’s Capital as the “new Superstore,” and we don’t blame them: it’s an interior dense space with plenty of opportunities to stock up on weapons, ammo, and Cash.
