Docks Map Guide (Rivals)

Docks is the verticality map in Rivals: multiple levels, ramps, and flank routes that reward the Bow, Shotgun, and movement play. This guide covers its layout, callouts, and winning loadouts.

Map Overview

Docks stacks play on two levels with ramps connecting them and several flank routes around the edges. Height advantage matters, so the double-jump Bow and Fists are strong, and the Shotgun owns the lower deck.

It supports all modes and is a favorite for players who like vertical ambushes.

Key Areas and Callouts

The upper catwalk is the power angle; the lower deck is the close fight; the side ramp is the flank. Control the catwalk and you pressure both levels.

Three callouts cover the map, which keeps team rotations clean.

Best Weapons

Bow (double jump plus charge shots) and Shotgun (lower deck) lead. The Uzi and Knife clean up flanks. The Sniper works only on the long catwalk sightline.

The best primary weapons tier list notes Bow and Shotgun as the Docks picks.

Best Loadouts

Bow + Energy Pistols + Fists + Distortion for vertical poke, or Shotgun + Revolver + Knife + Flamethrower for lower-deck rush. Both are in the best loadouts guide.

Docks is where the Bow movement kit shines most.

Movement Tips

Use the double jump to reach the catwalk fast and to drop on flanks. Slide down ramps to engage the lower deck. The rivals movement guide covers the vertical lines.

Height plus a charged Bow shot wins most Docks openings.

Common Mistakes

Do not ignore the catwalk; do not get caught on the lower deck without a close gun; do not walk the open flank ramp exposed. Docks punishes flat play.

Pre-aim the ramp tops from the rivals aim guide and hold the height.
