Spawn to Junction
From guard spawn, default path runs toward central junction — the rally point before first objective ping. Do not peel into maintenance for "early picks" without duo backup.
Anomalies should predict this path and listen for unpaired footsteps before committing first ability.
Objective Wing Push
When objective marks generator hall or maintenance wing, push as three with flex trailing. Generator requires spread; maintenance requires blink discipline.
Call landmark every five seconds during push so stack reform after anomaly contact.
Finale Extraction Route
Collapse toward extraction lane one phase early — late yellow hall runs lose to SCP-173 and Boiled One.
Pre-assign utility roles: who flashes, who stuns, who anchors choke.
Anomalies should compress guards into extraction timer pressure — force ammo and utility spend.
How to Find Teammates
If separated, rotate back to junction via stair core — never cut through maintenance solo.
Use short chat pings; map echoes make raw footstep tracking unreliable.
