An F5 Tornado

The tornado destroys the buildings it passes through, so the map's cover is removed ahead of the damage rather than around it.

Where it hitsAny map, streets
How to surviveWatch the direction it is tracking and stay behind it - a building is only protection until the funnel reaches it. Never cross open ground in front of it.

How the round plays out

  1. 1.The funnel tracks across the map and destroys the buildings it passes through.
  2. 2.Cover disappears ahead of the damage rather than around it, so the map changes as the tornado moves.
  3. 3.The path is the only thing that matters — being near it is survivable, being in front of it is not.

Where it kills you: Any building on the funnel's path, and any open crossing in front of it. Players die by moving toward the next cover instead of away from the track.

What to do in the 30-second head start

  • ›Find the funnel before you commit to a building, and stand behind it.
  • ›Do not use a building that sits directly on its line — it will not be there.
  • ›Keep a route that stays behind the track as it moves across the map.

If you are already caught out: Run perpendicular to the track, not away from it in a straight line. Getting behind the funnel ends the threat; outrunning it does not.

Worst maps for it: Suburban Neighborhood — the houses are the cover and the funnel takes the houses.

Surviving is half preparation and half knowing the map — see the map list and the round guide for the 30-second head start.
