What we changed: All sources are from after the December 2025 rework. The shape of the hold comes from R6Mint (Dec 2025), summarized the same way by R6 Prep (reviewed May 2026). A player contests Infirmary, the Infirmary wall is opened so attackers still have to walk into Cafeteria or breach into Waiting, the three Oven walls and the double Hammam wall are reinforced, feet holes cover the gathering hallway, someone holds Fountain, and one or two players upstairs keep the hatch open and drop early. alyttleton (Feb 2026) adds the middle-of-Cafeteria rotate and the hallway single wall, but he says he isn't confident on this floor. Garfield (Nov 2025) supplies the Kitchen-to-Waiting rotate, the wall beside it and the Mira spot. Garfield's Jul 2026 attack guide explains the Dining/Oven-wall threat and why you must extend into Infirmary. Sources disagree on the Waiting/Infirmary wall: alyttleton keeps it soft with head holes, R6Mint reinforces it. We reinforce it because the open hatch covers that plant. Changes for this patch: Castle panels take 10 hits (Y11S3.1), Kapkan does 62 (Y11S3) and Pulse's M1014 does 30 (Y11S3.1). Timings and slots are ours.
