POI Overview
You’ll need every advantage you can get on this Strike map. Here are the major points of interest. Click “Learn More” at the bottom of each image for additional tips and insights on the POI.
Main Spawn Point: Lobby
The Lobby takes up the entire eastern end of Racket and extends across all three lanes, which gives both teams a set of strategic options during the initial spawn. Utilize the boxes in the middle of the Lobby as well as the Security room directly in the center of the POI.
Tactical Location: Bulldozer
The Bulldozer sits right in the middle of Racket and is the main POI to consider when thinking about where most of the action takes place. This doesn’t mean it’ll always have an enemy target, but it does mean you’ll have to go through it or around it at some point in any given match. Use the Bulldozer itself to break the line of sight from the enemy and find the perfect shot though the sneakiest angle.
Main Spawn Point: Breach
As the spawn point on the western side the layout is similar, Breach is a little more visual carnage. Utilize the box in the center of the POI to take Longshots down toward the opposite end. Watch your head and escape to one of the money rooms on either side. Travel through the bathroom if there’s too much action in the center.

Watch your six: Racket is a symmetrical map, fitting the standard layout of what many Strike map players love. Because of this, every hallway, including those that run perpendicular to each other, serves as a lane useful for flanking and taking pot shots at the enemy. Rotate with your team and check those corners.
Control the corners: Whether it’s the four outside corners of the map or the four inner corner rooms use them to escape immediate danger and out-angle your opponents.
Rain in the fire: Thermo Grenades and Molotovs reign supreme on a map like Racket. Thermo Grenades have a relatively large area of effect, so they may hit Operators you can’t quite see, but more importantly the fire from both pieces of equipment will slow down an enemy approach and let you control the fight.
Advanced Map Tips
Covered Art — Alpha (A)
The southern lane, otherwise known as the Art POI, is covered with two large sets of boxes. This gives you a great opportunity to utilize Concussions and Decoys to distract the enemy and give you an advantage as you come swinging around the corner to defeat your opponent. If your Loadout is meant for a more close-quarters approach, the Art hallway is the primary spot for you. Don’t forget to deploy a Trophy System here as soon as possible because this lane is a primary target for any throwable Lethals.
Bulldoze the Longshot — Beta (B)
It’s important to utilize the central Bulldozer to stay out of sight of snipers or long ranged shooters. If you’re not focused on firing on the enemy from across the map, be sure to stay low and move fast. Otherwise, you’re going to be a prime target for the enemy.
Map Focused Loadouts
Become an elimination artist using these suggested Loadouts made for Racket.
Speed Thief
SMG, Recon Combat Specialty
Carrying two fast firing weapons while being given the advantage of knowing where the enemy is going to be when you spawn in is powerful as you run and start swinging around a corner while laying down a lot of firepower. Be selective when choosing a corner to dive around, but if you see your opportunity, the Saug will lay down enough fire to at least do some major damage to your target. If you can’t finish the enemy, your teammates won’t have much more work to do. If you take damage, be sure to back off and close off the counterattack with your Shock Charges and Molotovs.
Down Range Fire
Sniper Rifle
This amount of firepower may feel uncalled for on a Strike map, however there are some great sniper lanes on Racket and this Loadout will be everything you need to hold down a corner of the map and rack up the eliminations. Loaded with a heavy hitting Sniper Rifle and a heavy Shotgun, there’s not much that can surprise you. If your team can help cover some of the more exposed positions, you can hold down the center or Laundry lane as you use the scope or something shorter range to your advantage. If your team is having trouble and your position is compromised, switch to the heavy-hitting Shotgun and take the fight to the enemy.
Heavy Trigger Finger
LMG, Enforcer Combat Specialty
If ready to sow chaos and destruction throughout Racket, this is the Loadout for you. Take this Light Machine Gun and pull the trigger. Due to the nature of Racket, you’re going to need a bit more firepower than some of the other strike maps. There are some relatively long lanes, and you need something that can penetrate some of the soft cover, so set up the attachments to match this idea. Because of the Enforcer Combat Specialty, if you take a bit of damage during your endeavors, you’ll be able to regen more quickly and stay in the fight while laying down cover fire for your teammates.
Racket is a Strike map primed for the taking. Now it’s up to you and your team to get in there and make sure you take what’s yours. The enemy will come around every corner, but so long as you’re ready it shouldn’t be a problem to take the fight back to them. Watch your corners and work with your team, but remember:
