Master CTF-November in Unreal Tournament with our guide. Learn strategies for attacking and defending the submarine pen, including power-up locations and advanced tactics.
Walkthrough
- 1Map Overview: Battle around a retired November class nuclear submarine docked in an underground pen. This map includes machinegun nests and defensive positions.
- 2Attack Strategy (Masterful+): Attacking the blue base is challenging. After bypassing the initial defenses, you must reach the flag upstairs and return through the main pen without your Translocator (T/L). Always grab a shield-belt before attacking.
- 3Blue Flag Capture: The quickest way to grab the blue flag is by using your T/L. Send it up the large pipe in the blue base entrance to its highest point, activate it just before it falls, then immediately throw and activate it again to reach the upper floor. Health packs are available there. Alternatively, charge the stairs using your T/L to outrun bots, grabbing their shield-belt on the way.
- 4Dealing with Defenders: A defender often camps on the box stack near the flag. High-level bots can kill you instantly with any weapon.
- 5Defense Strategy: Sniping is key. Equip boots, armor, and a sniper rifle. Position yourself to cover all high tunnels and the low tunnel. Be prepared for up to three Skaarj bots attacking your base.
- 6Flag Carrier Escape: If a bot gets the flag and runs, you need a reliable way to chase them. Place your T/L in a safe, accessible location (mid-map, low or high) for pursuit that doesn't rely on a lucky sniper shot.
- 7Power-up Locations:
- Thigh Pads (2): Red base left staircase; Blue base entrance box.
- 8Body Armour (2): Red base box room; Blue base upper box room.
- 9Shield-belt (2): Red base sniper nest; Blue base entrance alcove.
- 10Keg O' Health (2): Red base back box room; Blue base upper box room.
- 11UDamage: Top of the submarine.
- 12Advanced Tactics (General):
- Sniper, shock rifle, and minigun are powerful at range.
- 13The rocket launcher's target lock can secure flag carrier kills.
- 14Changing your crosshair color (e.g., neon blue/purple) can help visibility against the lava background.
- 15Scout low routes to understand paths when returning with the flag. Use boots for the first high wall, and alt-hammer for the second.
- 16A walk-jump can get you onto ramparts from the sniper platform. Alternatively, use dodge-jumps from ramp supports.
- 17When returning the blue flag, you can dodge or jump through the upper gaps in the red flag cage sides, above the stone beams, instead of the front gap.
Tips
- The bot AI on higher difficulties can make this map frustrating.
- The redeemer trick from Facing Worlds is much harder to execute here but possible for advanced players.
- Preventing flag returns by translocating away with the flag and leaving it can be a viable tactic.
