Master the Retreat map in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Get expert tips on Hardpoint locations, enemy approaches, and strategic advantages to dominate the battlefield.

Alright, let's talk about the Retreat map in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, specifically for Hardpoint. This map can be a bit of a maze, but knowing the key spots will give you a huge edge. We'll break down each Hardpoint location and how to best approach it.

Hardpoint #1: This one's pretty exposed, so you've got options. While you can technically come from anywhere, I highly recommend using the room on the left. It offers much better cover than just sitting out in the open and waiting to get picked off. Stick to that room for a safer hold.

Hardpoint #2: Getting to this Hardpoint is tricky since there are four ways in, and they're all usually swarming with enemies. Your best bet is to use the stairs that are near Hardpoint #5. From there, you can get a decent angle to take out enemies. It's not a perfect spot, but it's the most strategic place to hold when you're trying to clear out the opposition.

Hardpoint #3: This Hardpoint is located entirely inside a room. There are tons of ways to get in, and plenty of cover inside, like the desk or the pillar. Honestly, any entrance works pretty much the same, but coming in from the upper left corner is usually best because the area outside that entrance sees less traffic. Less chance of getting ambushed on your way in.

Hardpoint #4: This spot covers both the small bar area and a bit of the space just outside it. Your best approach is from the south. This gives you a really clear line of sight into both the bar and the outdoor section, making it easier to defend.

Hardpoint #5: Similar to Hardpoint #3, but this time it's on a small platform inside. The best way to get here is from the lower left corner. Try a double jump to surprise enemies already on the platform. Seriously, avoid the staircases – going up them is basically a death sentence. Don't even consider it.
