What we changed: The shape (three below and two above, the Range Exit panel and rotate, the triple-wall pillar with head holes, the Med rotate, the Filtration-hall player, Operations as the vert spot and the Mezzanine trapper) is R6Mint's (Sept 2025), including his operator picks for each spot (Tachanka or Smoke in Armory, Echo in Medical, Denari or Sentry on the Mezzanine). Fett (Aug 2026) adds holes to deny the doorway plant, the reinforced middle panel with a Mira, extending toward the Filtration stairs and holding only Operations upstairs. Athieno (Jun 2026) reinforces the Operations hatch and the two outside walls and warns against making your own vert here too early. alyttleton's older video explains why attackers find this site easy (Operations above, a hatch drop and a corner plant). SiegeGG has only 40 rounds on Armory/Weapon, against 1,500 to 2,500 for the other Lair sites. Changes for the current patch: Noor is a Tachanka backup because his lance goes through shields and soft surfaces this season, Maestro's 9 s battery (Y11S3.1) and Echo's 15 s refill (Y11S3) make both good intel picks, and Fenrir's 1.9 s gas makes him the Smoke backup. The sources name walls by pointing at them, so drone-check the panels your first time. Operator slots and timings are ours.
