Construction Map Guide (Rivals)

Construction is the flagship Rivals map: open lanes and long sightlines that reward range and readability. This guide covers its layout, callouts, and the weapons that win here. It tops our rivals maps tier list for competitive play.

Map Overview

Construction is a large, open map with long straight lanes and few tight corners. Rounds are readable: you can see engagements coming, which rewards aim over ambush. It supports every mode from 1v1 to 5v5.

Because it is open, the Sniper and Energy Rifle thrive while the Shotgun struggles to close distance.

Key Areas and Callouts

The central lane is the main sightline; the side scaffolds give elevated angles; the far spawn corners are safe rotate points. Hold the central lane and you control the round.

Learn these three callouts and you can communicate rotations in team modes without confusion.

Best Weapons

Sniper and Energy Rifle for the long lanes, Assault Rifle as the safe all-rounder, Minigun to wall the central lane. Avoid the Shotgun except in the rare close scaffold fight.

The best primary weapons tier list ranks these picks for open maps specifically.

Best Loadouts

Sniper + Uzi + Katana + Permafrost utility for freeze-then-delete, or Assault Rifle + Uzi + Katana + RPG for balanced control. Both use the range Construction gives you.

See the best loadouts guide for the full kits and the rivals modes tier list for mode fit.

Movement Tips

Use slides to cross open lanes between cover; never walk the central lane in the open. The double jump from Fists or Bow helps reach scaffolds.

The rivals movement guide covers slide-crossing and scaffold lines for this map.

Common Mistakes

Do not push the central lane on foot against a Sniper; do not bring a Shotgun and expect to close; do not ignore the scaffolds for high ground. Construction punishes all three.

Pre-aim the lane ends from the rivals aim guide and you will win most openings.
