Objectives
hardpoint · zone bridge
VERIFY hill location AND order. Center bridge/B is the most likely first hill (open, central). Exposed on three sides — must be smoked to hold at Legendary tier.
hardpoint · zone house1
VERIFY. Tight interior hill — SMG-favored, holdable with one anchor + one trade body. Rotation order is a placeholder.
hardpoint · zone debris_south
VERIFY. South broken-buildings hill; cover-rich, head-glitch holds, but the wall-run flank threatens the back. Order placeholder.
hardpoint · zone house2
VERIFY. Mirror interior hill on the opposite side building. Order placeholder.
hardpoint · zone lane_long
VERIFY both location and that there even are 5 hills (BO3 Hardpoint commonly uses a rotating set). Long-lane hill is the most sniper/AR-exposed; may loop back toward mid. CONFIRM IN CUSTOM MATCH.
