Strategies[]
You can actually jump from Green Roof to Shed Roof if you sprint, and then jump on the edge of Green Roof facing the Shed. This is a very good survival point in any Infection gametype.
You can jump from the Ridge to any of the three orange, metal, flat roofs of the generator like structures in Yard. This can be a great vantage point to kill anyone on the Concrete Path. You can also jump onto the doorway like structure that leads to the Concrete Path.
Trivia[]
