Best weapons, power positions, and loadouts for Bridge.
Last updated: August 13, 2026
Bridge Overview
Bridge is a long, straight map centered on a single open deck between two towers. It's the purest sniper duel in the game — the open bridge deck has almost no cover, so the fight is for the tower high ground and the few deck barricades. If you can't win the long-range trade, use the under-bridge walkway to flank instead.
Best Weapons on Bridge
Ranged
Sniper — The whole map is one long lane — the Sniper is the defining weapon here.
Assault Rifle — A fallback for the mid-range fight around the deck barricades.
Plasma Gun — Shoots through the tower walls to hit enemies holding the tower points.
Melee
Katana — Silent rotation through the under-bridge walkway lets you flank the tower campers.
Best Positions on Bridge
A — Tower top The highest point with a clean view of the entire bridge deck. The best sniper nest on the map.
B — Deck barricade One of the few pieces of cover on the open deck — good for the Assault Rifle.
C — Bridgehead fort A defensible position at either end that controls entry onto the deck.
D — Under-bridge walkway The flank route — hidden from the deck above, it leads straight to the tower base.
Common Mistakes on Bridge
Crossing the open deck without cover — snipers will drop you instantly.
Holding the tower without watching the under-bridge walkway — that's how flanks reach you.
Ignoring the barricades and running the middle of the lane.
