Strategy
Comment jouer Vertigo
A map of systems. Well-executed runs on Ramp A and disciplined play on Flank B often defeat teams with better aim. Fights are short, and SMGs are very useful.
Three players push up Ramp A with utility vehicles, while two hold the center and the flank of Staircase B.
Smoke at the top of the ramp, Molotovs on Sheets and Dark, flashes, then the five behind the wave. Poses behind Double.
Flash au-dessus des escaliers et attaque directe from on spawn. La réponse classique en pistol et en anti-eco.
Push through the mid lane for a kill or intel, take the Connector, then head to B via the stairs and the Connector at the same time.
Two players are positioned on the ramp, then move through mid and take the elevator to A while the CTs push through the chokepoint.
Deux sur A (rampe from Sandbags ou Fence, et site ou ascenseur), un au mid sur l’angle Headshot, deux sur B.
Its role is to delay, not to kill. It burns its vehicles, announces the number, and withdraws before the wave hits.
The Headshot angle covers the mid-T, and the Connector lets you get to both sites very quickly.
With a teammate boosting him, the mid laner can rack up kills, but if he dies, both sites are opened up.
On A, flash through the elevator or the door and exchange fire through the smoke. On B, through the Connector with CT together; Back B goes last.

As a pro
Vertigo was removed from the official map pool in 2025 and remains playable in competitive play as a backup map. It was often banned by teams that prioritize aim.
