Cliffside: Executive Office
Overview
The guards spawn in this room. If you look around, there are a couple key features of which you may want to take heed. First, there are 2 pickups here. There is one red dot sight on this table. You'll probably want to take it if you're looking to engage in any sort of firefight early on. Additionally, there is a riot shield that you can use to safely gather intel from behind portable cover, or engage in coordinated firefights with your team. You'll also notice that the floor here is carpet. It is the only carpeted area on this far end of the map, which means if you hear muffled footsteps coming from this direction, there is definitely a player walking or running in this room. The window can be used to take some cheap shots at lobby, or to gain main hallway intel without exposing yourself. If you're using this position, be careful not to move too far out the window, or you will slip and most likely fall to your death. The doors that swing into the main hall are entirely opaque, this can prevent players from knowing what dangers lie on the other side (if the doors are closed). In the corner of the room is the first terminal of the Alpha computer system, a system that needs 10 hacks to finish. Alpha is split vertically between the two floors, so if you see the Alpha 1 terminal increment by 1, 2, or even 3 hacks, you can tell that there is an Intruder on the second floor hacking.
