What we changed: Both halves come from sources. R6Mint (Dec 2025, after the rework) gives the horizontal hit: take Fountain from Showers (Sledge through the soft wall) or the Music window, breach the three Oven walls from the Lobby side, hold the 90 hall, pinch down the hallway and plant in Cafeteria. He also notes there's no vertical over the Oven or the power spot, and that a player above means you plant in Waiting and hold the hatch. Garfieldisdoc (Jul 2026) adds the Lobby-side split with a Nomad or Gridlock on White stairs, the Gun Room cut-off and the Dining wall, plus the two alternatives we list: the Infirmary flip and the Briefing hatch. Garfield's Nov 2025 defense guide and our Waiting/Cafeteria defense strat show the setup we plan against: claws on the Oven wall, a Fountain holder, an Infirmary contest and a hatch player. Siege.gg (accessed Sep 2026) has this site at 60% defense over 618 rounds. Operator slots and times are ours. Patch notes applied: Sledge 0.8 s, Thermite 220, Lion 1.4 s, Kali keeps ADS, Dokkaebi has no EMPs.
