Bind is one of the first maps of 2 maps that were released, and is a popular map to many. In this featured article we’ll be going over a basic tutorial of the map, with some tips and tricks depending on the agent you’re using.
Introduction to BIND
Bind, codenamed “duality’ is set on a sandy piece of land, somewhere in Morocco. It has a standard layout with 2 bomb sites, but, with a small twist. Bind features 2 portals on the map, which can be used to travel faster to another side of the map. One of the portals is placed next to A short, whereas another is placed towards B Long. These portals can be used by both sides, for many different reasons. Whether it be escaping from a fight, or engaging onto an enemy, the portals are very efficient at doing any type of job that requires fast transportation. Here below is an image of both portals.
Map Callouts
Most of Bind’s callouts are quite easy to remember as the map does not have too many complex areas. Some callouts that can be found on Bind are: Hookah (Window), Bath (Shower), Short, Long and Portal. Here below is an image showing all the callouts on Bind.
Bind Tutorial – Ultimate Orbs
There are only 2 ultimate orbs on Bind, one placed on B Long, whereas the other is located at the entrance of A Bathrooms. The B Long ultimate orb can be easily snatched by the defensive side as it is quite close to the Buy zone border, however it might be risky if the enemy team is packed with utility. The other ult orb is in a much more neutral position, as both sides have to advance almost equally and meet each other at the same exact time. This means that if you’re going to risk your life for the ultimate orb on A Bathrooms, make sure you have a strong weapon and you’re ready to fight. Here below are images of both Ult orbs:
Bind Tutorial – Best agents
Bind, being a very standard map suits several agents of the current agent pool. However, if one had to go in detail on which agents were to be prioritized, one would come to a conclusion that agents with smokes are the most valuable. Secondly, information is vital on this map, especially due to the portals. This is where Sentinels like Cypher and Killjoy come in handy. Thirdly, due to many angles on the map having a short distance, flashes are a must, and this is why Initiators are incredibly important on a map like Bind.
Brimstone
Brimstone is useful for many things, most notably his 3 smokes. His Sky Smokes can be utilized extremely well on both bomb sites, as he can cover the general positions in those areas. Here below are the best smokes to place when executing onto a bomb site, for both A and B.
Breach / Omen / Raze
Hookah is one of the most important locations on Bind. Having control of such a position is vital to hold rotations, as well as engage onto the B bomb site. Here are some easy tips and tricks on how to take control of Hookah:
