Prebrief
Prepare for imminent battle on this small-sized map caught in the middle of an active warzone. This military base housing stealth fighter jets is taking heavy fire from the nearby map Scud while the anti-air stations are doing their best to protect the assets. Follow the line of destruction along the perimeter or seek cover within the central Hangar. Control panels offer access through the main bay doors, so long as you make it inside before they close again.

POI Overview
Dive into the main points of interest around Subsonic. Click “Learn More” at the bottom of each image for additional tips and insights on the POI.
Main Spawn Point: APCs (West)
The vehicles skirting the west Hangar give good ground cover and a solid view from up top. Press the control panel near the bay door to access the main entrance or head through one of the more discreet side doors. To remain on the outer path, head toward the downed jet facing Impact.
Tactical Location: Impact
The aircraft and overturned truck offer views into the central crater, otherwise deep enough to obscure Operators from the ground floor. Scattered mid-sized objects provide cover nearer the blast and along the Hangar walls. Pivot from here to either side of the perimeter or head inside through the Briefing room.
Tactical Location: Hangar
The Hangar sees constant action with six total entry points into the main bay including two bay doors that operate on individual control panels. The northern Lockers attach to a cluster of Briefing, Comms, and Logistics rooms. The parked aircraft offers plentiful tactical opportunities from above and below.
Main Spawn Point: Debris (East)
The east end has suffered major structural damage resulting in huge piles of rubble offering ample cover. As with the opposite APCs spawn, a control panel opens the bay door while two side entrances enter the building adjacent to the main bay. The radar dish and overturned truck offer solid cover toward Impact.

Controlled entry: Activate the control panels near the bay doors to open them. Each door runs on its own mechanism, opening for a brief time before shutting again. A red light indicates that the door is in the process of opening and closing.
Make an impact: The Impact Grenade works wonders on this map. Instantly blast enemies above and below the parked jet, near vehicles and rubble along the outer path, and inside the small rooms north of the main bay. Combine Scavenger with the Danger Close Wildcard to keep a healthy, replenishable stock on hand.
Bombing run: Call in your own bombing run using the Strategic Bomber Scorestreak. Time the attack on one of the outer lanes just as the nearest bay door is about to shut, forcing your enemies to squeeze in at the last minute to avoid the attack. Be there waiting for them to land eliminations inside and out.
Advanced Map Tips
Over the Cockpit — Alpha (A)
The aircraft inside the Hangar offers a great if exposed power position over the inside of the building itself and toward the two main spawns when the bay doors are open revealing the outer path beyond. Use the metal staircase or vault up to the top of the aircraft and position your Operator near the jet’s cockpit or fins in a way that minimizes exposure.
Under the Wing — Beta (B)
The downed aircraft near Impact may not offer the same height as the Hangar jet, but it’s still a very useful cover point. Crouch under its wing for a lower profile attack or move around its body for added protection. To get at enemies behind cover, jump on top of it and land the elimination before dropping back down to safer ground.
Command & Control — Gamma (Γ)
The Briefing room and its connected areas are ripe for close quarters play while maintaining the advantage of overhead cover without stepping into the perilous Hangar itself. Try equipping a Shotgun or SMG and firing from the hip so you can move around the rooms with minimal loss to your movement speed.
Map Focused Loadouts
Like a bomber jet, strike hard and fast using these suggested Loadouts on Subsonic.
Blast and Move
SMG, Enforcer Combat Specialty
This deadly Loadout combines the high-capacity PP-919 with restockable Impact Grenades via Scavenger and Danger Close. With Gung-Ho reducing movement penalties when tossing an Impact Grenade, your Operator can throw a grenade and then get right back to shooting with minimal interference.
The Enforcer Combat Specialty is crucial, as Subsonic’s small space encourages back-to-back fights; heal faster after landing an elimination and use the movement speed boost to grab Scavenger bags that will refill your ammo and Equipment. With Bankroll equipped, it’s only a matter of time before you start calling in streaks.
Armored Vanguard
Assault Rifle, Strategist Combat Specialty
Dominate Subsonic with this sturdy Loadout using Perk Greed to grab both Flak Jacket and Tac Mask, with Vigilance negating the effects of enemy Sleeper Agents, CUAVs, and Scramblers. The versatile XM4 performs well all over the map, paired with the Cigma 2B Launcher to swat enemy aerial threats out of the sky while earning bonus score toward your own streaks via Strategist.
Fast Hands minimizes the chance of getting caught mid weapon swap and the Assault Pack ensures that you remain stocked up on your valuable armaments, including your Smoke Grenade to distract while repositioning and the Molotov to threaten foes with a burning patch of flame.
Brief This
Shotgun
Clear out the Briefing room and its adjacent spaces with this CQC focused Loadout using the semi-auto ASG-89 Shotgun — featuring eight Attachments via Gunfighter — and the full-auto Grekhova Handgun to overwhelm enemies with firepower. Recover after skirmishes using the Stim Shot and swiftly eliminate foes with a well-placed throw of the retrievable Combat Axe.
This class foregoes a Combat Specialty in favor of a varied Perk selection including Ghost for a lower profile, Dexterity for faster agility-based movements, and Gearhead for extra uses of the Trophy System as well as its hacking capabilities.
