Cache map, born through the efforts of Salvatore Gorezzo, Lenza Monata and Sean Snelling, has long been a kind of “touring” in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Initially she became available during the Bravo and Phoenix operations, and only later she finally gained the status of official, having got into an active competition pool along with the public favorites like Dust2.

The action takes place in Pripyat, near a nuclear power plant. “The preparation for the operation and tactical skills are extremely important to protect the secret weapons depot near Chernobyl,” says the official description. As on other maps with the prefix “de”, battles are fought for control of the two locations where the bomb is planted.
Yard Wars
One of the main features of Cache is its rectangular shape and clear division into two halves, between which the yard is located. The hottest fights are fired for it. Capturing the central part of the map, the SWAT team can noticeably limit the freedom of movement of terrorists and access to the mine points, but if this advantage is captured by the “bad guys”, the defenders will have to make a hook through the entire map to safely move from one point to another.
Because of the layout, the counter-terrorists have several basic tactics on Cache. Moreover, none of them is universal. It is always useful to have one defender at point B, where his main task is to survive while waiting for reinforcements, if this point will be chosen by the terrorists to attack. Two more players in this case go to A, and the rest – to the center. This approach is convenient because one or two fighters can always quickly change positions and help your comrades in trouble.
Guard A together with your partner if the team has coordination in priority. Always act in a coordinated manner, so as not to find yourself in a situation where one covers the passage, and the other suddenly goes to storm in proud loneliness. There are a lot of interesting things to do here together. For example, one player takes a position behind the forklift – then in his field of view will be both the door and the passage from point A. In the case, if the enemies prefer to attack the center, put a friend on the boxes, from which he will have a good view. Flexibility is the key to success on Cache.
The situation with player B is the opposite, because he is given the role of a single hero. It is better to send here a skilled and intelligent fighter with a stock of all sorts of grenades, because he will have to not only recognize the attack in time, but also survive until the arrival of his comrades. Forcing the fight to terrorists, you should use the nearby boxes as a shelter. Moreover, it is necessary to know their location to change the position of the fighter blindly. Literally. Of course, it would be much easier to hold point B together, but if the team is always ready to change positions, the advantages outweigh the risk: the center on this map is very important, so a partner is needed there. You can boldly leave B only when your allies are sure that the enemy has decided to attack A.
TERRORISTS
When playing Cache for terrorists, first of all remember that the vast majority of battles are fought in three main areas: the main aisle to A, in the center and the halls on B. In principle, Cache will also work for Rush, but in the long run, try to distribute players evenly between these “bottlenecks”. Otherwise, you risk being trapped – early attackers will easily stop you with smoke or incendiary grenades. Use https://csgo.net/upgrade to find more interesting opportunities.
