Tips and tricks[]
Prima Official Guide[]
"Grim Smote is a frightening and enjoyable Capture the Flag map for large player groups. The map features an active volcano between two massive castles. Each castle has multiple entrances and exits, making defense a challenge.
As if your opponents weren’t deadly enough, you have to keep an eye on the sky. The volcano spews fiery balls of magma that really ruin your day if they hit you dead-on.
Offensive Strategy
You must be aggressive to score in Grim Smote. Just getting to the castle can be difficult if your opponents have snipers in position. When you break into the fortress, you have no idea what kind of defenses might be hiding there. Unless a single approach works time and time again, vary your attack through the entrances.
Attack through the bottom side with a close-range weapon such as the flak cannon or bio rifle. You need it to survive in those tight quarters. Bring any weapon you like when you come in through the front door, but know how to use it. They’re expecting you.
The third entrance is good for a quick hit-and-run attack. Use your translocator to reach the top of the enemy’s castle, go through the narrow upstairs corridor, and drop down the spiral stairs. Go down the elevator, grab the flag, and then do it all in reverse.
If you’re quick enough, you’re difficult to stop.
Defensive Strategy
Grim Smote offers good defensive possibilities but no surefire tactics for keeping the flag in your base. Too many entrances must be covered at once. Be prepared to chase down an opponent carrying your flag. They all have to exit your castle sometime, and you know where they’re headed.
The best defense strategy is a two-tier plan. Make the first line a sniper (the lightning gun is on top of the castle’s front door) who takes out enemies crossing the bridge or sneaking around the volcano. This practically shuts down all attacks.
A defender inside the base can guard the flag room, which contains a rocket launcher and a minigun. Load up on both and use them often. The rocket launcher is best for stopping the initial rush. The minigun helps you track an enemy who filched the flag.
Teamplay Strategy
If the other team has a sniper in place, take it out. Send a team of two attackers, one through the middle of the volcano and one around the side. If the attack is well coordinated, the sniper has to choose one target while the other raids the base or takes him down from a distance.
Single-Player Strategy
A single-player attack loop on this map help you score many flag captures. Go upstairs in your castle, grab the shield power-up in the narrow corridor, and translocate to the sniper gun. Jump off your roof and head to the side of the volcano. Grab the TAG rifle at the top of the path, attack any enemies in the distance with a sniping weapon, switch to your translocator, and move to the top of the enemy castle.
Inside, make a beeline through the narrow corridor, down the spiral stairs, and down again to the flag room floor.
If you grab the flag quickly, you can turn right around and zip out of the castle with minimal contact. Even if you do have contact, you’ve run across enough shields and health vial to help you survive almost anything. Repeat this as often as you like.
Sniping Spot
The lightning gun spawn point is the most effective sniping spot in this map, but another is downright nasty. Just behind the main sniper position are two darkened windows. Use the teleporter to reach them, and you’re almost impossible to detect.
This spot is particularly good for stopping attacks from around the side of the volcano.
Defensive Position
Aside from the sniping positions, the strongest defense spot inside the flag room is any place hidden from enemy view as they enter the room. You get a split-second of advantage. If you use the rocket launcher, that’s all the advantage you need.
Kill Zone
Brave and daring sorts find they rack up the kills by standing just outside the front of the enemy base. You need to be out of view of all entrances and snipers, but if you have a flak cannon you can clean house when someone exits their supposedly safe castle."
